New research led by the University of South Australia shows that fatty foods may not only be adding to your waistline but also aggravating Alzheimer's disease, and causing depression and anxiety.
The Swedish Parliament recently presented its ambition to drastically reduce number of wolves in Sweden – from approximately 400 down to approximately 200. Scientists are now reacting to this goal. In a letter published in Science 18 researchers from 5 countries warn that such a cull would further threaten this already highly vulnerable population.
An international team of scientists has identified the neural mechanisms through which sound blunts pain in mice. The findings, which could inform development of safer methods to treat pain, were published in Science.
When NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft collected samples from asteroid Bennu’s surface in 2020, forces measured during the interaction provided scientists with a direct test of the poorly understood near-subsurface physical properties of rubble-pile asteroids. Now, a Southwest Research Institute-led study has characterized the layer just below the asteroid’s surface as composed of weakly bound rock fragments containing twice the void space as the overall asteroid.
Researchers argue that the long human lifespan is due in part to the contributions of older adults.
Contemporary humans are still evolving, but natural selection favours those with lower earnings and poorer education - according to research from the University of East Anglia.
Scientists have unearthed a treasure trove of artifacts along Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Learn what researchers have discovered about the ancient Maya people and their relationship with this hidden stretch of coast.
Scientists have long puzzled over the gap in the fossil record that would explain the evolution of invertebrates to vertebrates. Vertebrates, including fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and humans, share unique features, such as a backbone and a skull. Invertebrates are animals without backbones.
¿Es frecuente que las estrellas se encuentren solas en el universo? Para averiguar esto en el caso de las enanas café —cuerpos celestes que se encuentran a medio camino entre los planetas más masivos y las estrellas más pequeñas—, es necesario descubrir nuevos ejemplos de sus compañeros estelares. Eso es precisamente lo que hizo el científico ciudadano, Frank Kiwy, mediante el uso de la plataforma de ciencia Astro Data Lab de NOIRLab de NSF que le permitió descubrir 34 nuevos sistemas binarios ultrafríos en el vecindario del Sol, casi duplicando la cantidad de este tipo de sistemas conocidos hasta ahora.
In Science Magazine, TU/e researchers publish teir research on new phase transitions of solutions and gels in water, which instinctively go against the basic principles of chemistry – and which they discovered by accident.
New research published today in the peer-reviewed journal Science examines the potential for underwater noise pollution from seabed mining operations, which could affect the understudied species that live in the deep sea—the largest habitat on Earth.
Louisiana State University oceanographer develops new model to better predict barrier island retreat.
New tools developed at Scripps Research and UC San Diego are helping public health officials around the world get vital information about pathogen variants from wastewater.
With energy costs rising, and the rapidly emerging effects of burning fossil fuels on the global climate, the need has never been greater for researchers to find paths to products and fuels that are truly renewable.
Background: Web-based interventions aimed at supporting informal caregivers of people living with dementia have the potential to improve caregivers’ well-being and psychological health. However, few interventions are widely impleme...
One often thinks that the early embryo is fragile and needs support. However, at the earliest stages of development, it has the power to feed the future placenta and instructs the uterus so that it can nest. Using ‘blastoids’, in vitro embryo models formed with stem cells, the Lab of Nicolas Rivron at IMBA showed that the earliest molecular signals that induce placental development and prepare the uterus come from the embryo itself. The findings, now published in Cell Stem Cell, could contribute to a better understanding of human fertility.
How often do stars live alone? For brown dwarfs — objects that straddle the boundary between the most massive planets and the smallest stars — astronomers need to uncover more examples of their companions to find out. Ace citizen scientist Frank Kiwy has done just that by using the Astro Data Lab science platform at NSF’s NOIRLab to discover 34 new ultracool dwarf binary systems in the Sun's neighborhood, nearly doubling the number of such systems known.
Background: Digital health interventions show promise in improving the uptake of HIV services among adolescents and young people aged 15 to 24 years in sub-Saharan Africa. Objective: This study aimed to pilot-test a ...
Background: Insufficient physical activity and unhealthy diets are contributing to the rise in noncommunicable diseases. Preventative mobile health (mHealth) interventions may help reverse this trend, but present bias might reduce th...
Researchers from the University of York have discovered why reducing particle pollution is actually increasing surface ozone pollution in some emerging economies, negatively impacting health, ecosystems and agriculture.
