Losing weight can be a lot of work, which makes it all the more frustrating when, little by little, the weight creeps back. Now, a study suggests that fat cells retain a memory or past obesity, which ...

A groundbreaking study shows that two repurposed cancer drugs, when combined, can correct complex brain cell dysfunction and restore memory in Alzheimer’s mouse models, offering hope for new ...

Researchers have developed a new type of memory cell that can both store information and do high-speed, high-efficiency calculations. The memory cell enables users to run high-speed computations ...
