Some Archaea microorganisms can survive in extreme conditions STEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Microbes isolated from Siberian permafrost appear to have remained alive for more than 100,000 years, based on an analysis of their DNA. Their genetic overlap with other species suggests such astonishingly long lifespans may be widespread among the closest living relatives of all…
Close to 70 million people ages 65 and older and younger people with long-term disabilities receive their health insurance coverage through the federal Medicare program. While overall satisfaction with the program is high, paying for health care services can prove challenging for Medicare beneficiaries. In 2023, more than one-third (36%) of beneficiaries said they had…
Elon Musk’s xAI filed a lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI on Monday, accusing the companies of behaving like monopolies and claiming Apple deprioritized ChatGPT rivals like Grok in the App Store. “This is a tale of two monopolists joining forces to ensure their continued dominance in a world rapidly driven by the most powerful technology…

Could the bottlenose dolphin be the first non-human species to have its language decoded? tephen Frink/Getty Images; Shutterstock Sophie Cohen-Bodénès knew she was onto something when she saw the cuttlefish extend two arms upwards while twisting its six others together. It was making what she calls the “up” sign – and, intriguingly, it was throwing…

The research, published in the academic journal Nature, represents an essential step in quantum computing and demonstrates its potential by directly simulating fundamental interactions with Google’s quantum processor. In the future, researchers could use this approach to gain deeper insights into particle physics, quantum materials, and even the nature of space and time itself. The…
The ATLAS Collaboration finds evidence of Higgs-boson decays to muons and improves sensitivity to Higgs-boson decays to a Z boson and a photon. Since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, physicists have made major strides in exploring its properties. Does that mean the subject is done and dusted? Far from it! In new…
Remarkable fossils found in North Greenland have helped researchers solve a 500-million-year-old puzzle surrounding squid-like ancestors. It was previously thought ancient organisms called nectocaridids, which bear a resemblance to squid, were a type of cephalopod – marine molluscs with tentacles and a prominent head. But scientists, co-led by the University of Bristol, have now shown…
