A unique but flawless fragrance heralds the arrival of spring. While it has a slightly country-like quality, there is another element that makes one think of rainy days or garden afternoons. Ray [more…]
Chinese researchers have discovered a gene that allows plants to thrive in saline soil, and they use this finding to create modified sorghum and rice plants that increase yields by at least 20% and produce more nutrients. [more…]
Big fish can now detect blue light even in the darkest depths, thanks to changes in their eyesight genes. A whale shark is worthless even at the end of a fisherman's thread. However, there is a lot waiting to be discovered. [more…]
Farm waste and other natural products can help the automotive and other industries be more environmentally friendly and less harmful. Lemon peel, cornstarch and almond peel are used in the automotive or construction industries. [more…]
Crustaceans can effectively camouflage themselves by changing the color of their eyes using a photonic glass made up of crystal nanospheres. Deep-ocean inhabitants such as jellyfish, squid, and shrimp are so sensitive to light. [more…]
A multinational research team has deciphered Ludwig van Beethoven's genome for the first time using five genetically identical strands of hair. Cambridge University, Beethoven Center San Jose and the American Beethoven Society, KU [more…]
A healthy lifestyle, especially a healthy diet, is associated with slower deterioration of memory, according to a ten-year study of the elderly in China, recently published in The BMJ. What is BMJ [more…]
Some marine mammals have whiskers that can detect turbulent fish waves. How this process works at various distances is the subject of a new experiment. Harbor seals chase their prey in murky coastal waters with low visibility. [more…]
Which animals, living or extinct, have been recorded as having the highest biting power? Tyrannosaurs like Megalodon and tyrannosaurus rex appear frequently in science fiction for their savage bites. However, living [more…]
The Hayabusa 2 spacecraft returned samples from Ryugu in 2020, and analysis of a small fraction of these samples has revealed essential components for life. Samples from the asteroid Ryugu, one of the four building blocks of RNA [more…]
The new sorbents have three times the capacity to absorb carbon dioxide from the air than existing ones. The sorbent also converts carbon dioxide into sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, which can be safely retained in the oceans when exposed to seawater. International [more…]
The rare and deadly genetic disorder CD3 delta severe combined immunodeficiency can be implemented in a one-off treatment with the help of the latest genome editing technologies, according to a new study by UCLA. CD3 [more…]
By combining videos from dozens of cameras, a unique 3D view of macroscopic experiments with microscopic details was obtained. The first photo taken by a pair of brave graduate students using their improvised microscopes is more than expected. [more…]
Inside cells, phase separation produces droplets whose chemical activity results in surprising mobility that supports cellular function and offers a clue to the origin of life. Droplets are a common occurrence. How from a windowpane [more…]
The goal, undertaken by a research team led by Cristian Micheletti of SISSA and recently published in Physical Review Letters, is how the parts of a complex molecule can be created by knowing how the molecule degrades and breaks down. [more…]
According to a study published in Cell Metabolism, premenopausal women with depression have a higher prevalence of gut bacteria than premenopausal women without depression, which is linked to worse clinical outcomes in hospitals. [more…]
Initial experiments of a technique for detecting the strength of certain ion-electron interactions in water yielded unexpected results. When it comes to power, the interactions between positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged pi(π)-electrons are most important. [more…]
An original genetic strain of feral cats has been discovered in the remote woodland thickets of northern Corsica, according to recent DNA studies. Known mostly to Corsican herders and long-time experts, according to the French Office of Biodiversity (OFB). [more…]
At the moment, the only model we have for the habitability of planets is Earth. There may be life on other planets in the large, open galaxy, but we can be sure it only arose in ours. The problem is, what we've discovered so far [more…]
According to recent studies, microbiota serve as crucial building blocks for cell division. When part of the liver is removed, the body can restore the missing tissue. However, the last study at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) [more…]
World-renowned theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Michio Kaku pointed out that important developments took place at the Second Century Economy Conference hosted by the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality and said, “All information will be hidden in the lens you put on your eye”. [more…]
In this emerging field of computer science, scientists are modeling the brain to make computers faster and more effective. In the past few decades, based on silicon and other semiconductor materials, [more…]
In a study published in the journal Psychological Science, researchers found that people with schizophrenia are at higher risk of developing schizophrenia. The findings may offer clues as to how altered mental states may have contributed to the development of the human mind. [more…]
The causes of damage during proton radiotherapy have been clarified by research on the electron excitation response of DNA to proton radiation. Studies on the effects of ionizing radiation on human health in the field of radiation biology [more…]
Neuroscientists have been creating increasingly sophisticated neural maps since the 1970s. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the University of Cambridge this week reported on the successful 12-year project of mapping the brain of a young fruit fly. [more…]
An entirely new theory of how immune cells identify dangers such as viruses has been developed by researchers. This discovery will allow scientists to create better vaccines and better address autoimmune diseases and allergies. [more…]
Culture is characterized by the transfer of shared information from one generation to the next, which allows animals to quickly adapt to a changing environment. Human newborns, naked mole rats, and puppies of early social learning [more…]
On the slopes of a spring-fed lake in the Wasatch Mountains in the western United States lives a single gigantic organism that sustains an entire ecosystem on which plants and animals have depended for thousands of years. “Pando” 106 to be found in Utah [more…]
Doctors are in a race against time when someone has a spinal cord injury. To minimize damage, doctors urgently operate patients and anti-inflammatory drugs ranging from over-the-counter pain relievers like Advil to the steroid methylprednisolone. [more…]
The lizards' incredible gripping power and the caterpillar's efficient locomotion have served as inspiration for a tiny robot that could one day assist surgeons in performing surgery. The new robot, created by engineers at the University of Waterloo, [more…]
