Scientists have demonstrated for the first time how Staphylococcus aureus—a leading cause of skin infections—reshapes the immune system's inflammatory responses in children with a rare skin condition.
Phys.org / Researchers in Japan discover new jellyfish species deserving of a samurai warrior name
A student-led research group from Tohoku University has discovered a new species of the venomous Physalia (commonly known as Portuguese man-of-war) that has never been seen before in northeast Japan. This revelation suggests ...
Phys.org / Detailed map of US air-conditioning usage shows who can beat the heat—and who can't
As climate change produces ever more heat waves, how many homes in the U.S. lack adequate cooling? Who's most vulnerable to lethal temperatures, and exactly where do they live?
Tech Xplore / Iron-based battery material achieves higher energy state, promising improved storage and voltage
Researchers have created a more energy dense storage material for iron-based batteries. The breakthrough could also improve applications in MRI technology and magnetic levitation.
Phys.org / Ancient ochre crayons from Crimea reveal Neanderthals engaged in symbolic behaviors
Ochre is an iron-rich mineral pigment that was used by many ancient civilizations for color, decoration and practical tasks such as preserving animal hides and tanning clothing. Recent analysis of fragments of ochre at several ...
Tech Xplore / RRAM-based analog computing system rapidly solves matrix equations with high precision
Analog computers are systems that perform computations by manipulating physical quantities such as electrical current, that map math variables, instead of representing information using abstraction with discrete binary values ...
Phys.org / DNA study reveals origins, migrations and genetic legacy of 'forgotten' Sarmatians
In a recent study, Dr. Oszkár Schütz and his colleagues analyzed 156 ancient genomes from the Sarmatian period, spanning the 1st to 5th centuries CE. The aim of the study was to clarify the origins and genetic relationships ...
