Medical Xpress / Nighttime phone use linked to higher levels of suicidal thoughts in high-risk adults
Patterns of smartphone use and their impact on mental health are being extensively studied due to the growing dependence of the device in people's lives.
Phys.org / Discovery of rare protist reveals previously unknown branch of eukaryotic tree of life
A research team from the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague has discovered Solarion arienae, an extremely rare and morphologically unique unicellular eukaryote that sheds new light on early eukaryotic evolution.
Medical Xpress / Brain circuit controlling compulsive behavior mapped
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have identified a brain circuit that can drive repetitive and compulsive behaviors in mice, even when natural rewards such as food or social contact are available. The study ...
Phys.org / New scalable single-spin qubits could simplify future processors
Quantum computers, which operate leveraging effects rooted in quantum mechanics, have the potential of tackling some computational and optimization tasks that cannot be solved by classical computers. Instead of bits (i.e., ...
Phys.org / LHAASO conducts all-sky search for exploding primordial black holes
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are black holes theorized to have formed shortly after the Big Bang. Compared to black holes emerging from collapsing stars, PBHs could have very different masses, ranging from very small to ...
Phys.org / Dusty star-forming galaxy at high redshift discovered
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new dusty star-forming galaxy at high redshift. The newfound galaxy, designated AC-2168, was detected using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers repurpose a mosquito proboscis to create a 3D printing nozzle
When it comes to innovation, engineers have long proved to be brilliant copycats, drawing inspiration directly from nature. But now some scientists are moving beyond simple imitation to incorporating natural materials into ...
Phys.org / Video catches wild wolf pulling in crab trap to get to food—but is it tool use?
Many animals have been observed using tools. For example, chimps tear leaves off of branches and stick them into holes to pull out termites, and wild dingoes have been observed moving objects to stand on to get to another ...
Medical Xpress / Aging alters the protein landscape in the brain—diet can counteract it, say researchers
As we age, the composition and function of proteins in the brain change, affecting how well our brain performs later in life—influencing memory, responsiveness, and the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
Phys.org / New membrane sets record for separating hydrogen from CO₂
When designing membranes that separate industrial gases, scientists often incorporate structures that attract the gas they want to obtain. This attraction can enhance the membrane's permeability, and help isolate the desired ...
Phys.org / Richest Iron Age burial assemblage in Southern Levant discovered at Horvat Tevet
A recent study by Dr. Omer Peleg and his colleagues examined the unique 7th-century BCE (Iron IIC) cremation burial assemblage discovered at Horvat Tevet. The assemblage is the richest and most diverse burial assemblage found ...
Medical Xpress / A two-minute fix for procrastination
You know that assignment, message or email you keep avoiding—the one that lingers in the back of your mind even as you scroll, tidy or "just check one more thing"? New research from UC Santa Barbara offers a science-backed ...
