Dialog / Monkeys can sense their own heartbeats, an ability tied to mental health, consciousness and memory in humans
Rhesus monkeys have a sense of when their own hearts are beating, according to new research we conducted.
Dialog / We found a genetic link between routine blood test results and mental health disorders
Mental health disorders including depression, schizophrenia, and anorexia show links to biological markers detected in routine blood tests, according to our new study of genetic, biochemical and psychiatric data from almost ...
Dialog / The magnetic behavior of metal-free organic materials
Magnetism is a property of matter that has been known to mankind for several thousand years, long before these properties could be described in a theory. In our everyday lives, we are used to "classical magnets" made of metals ...
Dialog / Pollen season is getting longer and more intense with climate change
Brace yourselves, allergy suffers—new research shows pollen season is going to get a lot longer and more intense with climate change.
Dialog / Developing novel peptide-based chemotherapy using a combination of computer simulations and nanotechnology
Membrane-active peptides, small proteins composed of less than 50 amino acids that interact with cellular membranes, have been proposed as a promising treatment modality in searching for next-generation chemotherapeutics. ...
Dialog / New cross-electrophile coupling of heteroarenium salts and aryl iodides
Researchers from Auburn University have found a new pathway to use visible blue light to promote nickel catalyzed cross-coupling of activated heteroarenes with aryl iodides. This would be highly valuable to the pharmaceutical ...
Dialog / 'An ever-ticking clock': We made a 'time crystal' inside a quantum computer
You probably know what a crystal is. We've all seen one, held one in our hands, and even tasted one on our tongue (for instance sodium chloride crystals, also known as "salt").
Dialog / Making the operations of battery electric bus systems more efficient: Short turning strategy
Urban transit operation presents seriously uneven passenger load along bus lines during peak periods. This is especially serious in electric battery bus fleets; electric buses must recharge batteries after executing several ...
Dialog / Whether it's a hurricane, an active shooter, or a pandemic, we must reconsider campus emergency planning
When it comes to emergency preparedness, universities and colleges understand the importance of having policies, protocols and procedures in place to minimize damage, prevent tragedies and ensure a safe environment for staff ...
Dialog / "The Music of the Spheres": We think that we've found its equation
