Phys.org / Warm Jupiter exoplanet transiting a sun-like star discovered
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new exoplanet orbiting a sunlike star as part of the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The newfound alien world, designated NGTS-39 b, is a Jupiter-sized ...
Medical Xpress / New study provides first evidence of dopamine system injury in the brain of long COVID patients
A new brain imaging study led by researchers at the Center for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), published in eBioMedicine, provides the strongest evidence to date that long COVID is associated with injury to dopamine-releasing ...
Phys.org / Bacteria turn dissolved uranium into stable compound in 130 days, study finds
Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), together with Wismut GmbH and scientists from the University of Granada in Spain, have demonstrated for the first time that bacteria can convert uranium dissolved ...
Medical Xpress / Do your dreams have smells? New study on 'blind minds' reveals vast differences in imagination
It's common to think we all have similar experiences of life. But the more we learn about other people's hidden thoughts, the more evidence there is that this is untrue. For instance, not everyone has the same ability to ...
