Extension that converts individual Java files to Kotlin code aims to ease the transition to Kotlin for Java developers.

Bees navigate their surroundings with astonishing precision. Their brains are now inspiring the design of tiny, low-power chips that could one day guide miniature robots and sensors. When a bee leaves ...

Octopuses may have big brains because of environmental – not social – factors. Large brains in mammals are generally thought to be linked to social behaviour, an idea known as the social brain ...

Scientists are still learning how spending prolonged periods of time in the microgravity of space can affect astronauts’ health. The environment has been shown to accelerate bone density loss and the ...

Spaceflight takes a physical toll on astronauts, causing muscles to atrophy, bones to thin and bodily fluids to shift. According to a new study published in the journal PNAS, we can now add another ...

Astronauts’ brains can change shape and shift positions during stays in space, according to a new study with implications for NASA’s goals to conduct long-duration missions to the moon and Mars. The ...

OpenJDK project teams will focus work on features such as value types, code reflection, AOT compilation, and structured concurrency in the coming year. Oracle’s Java team in 2026 will work toward ...

The human brain processes information at different speeds depending on the situation, with some signals requiring immediate responses, such as reacting to a sudden sound or movement. Others develop ...

Tiny lab-grown brains are offering an unprecedented look at how schizophrenia and bipolar disorder disrupt neural activity. Researchers found distinct electrical firing patterns that could identify ...

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) scientists have discovered a molecular difference in the brains of autistic people compared to their neurotypical counterparts. Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition ...

Researchers used miniature human brains grown in the lab to uncover why certain genetic mutations lead to abnormally small brains. Changes in actin disrupted the orientation of early brain cell ...

If you need another reason to visit the gym this winter, a new study of almost 1,200 healthy, middle-aged men and women found that those with more muscle mass tended to have younger brains than those ...
