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 / Why the chemtrail conspiracy theory lingers and grows—and why Tucker Carlson is talking about it
Everyone has looked up at the clouds and seen faces, animals, objects. Human brains are hardwired for this kind of whimsy. But some people—perhaps a surprising number—look to the sky and see government plots and wicked ...
Phys.org / Worries about climate change are waning in many well-off nations—but growing in Turkey, Brazil and India
Polling on public attitudes to climate change show a dip in the numbers who worry about it in many high-income countries, compared with three years ago. This declining public concern will be a worry to those governments looking ...
Phys.org / Indigenous voices at COP30: The Amazon speaks—will the world listen?
For the first time in the history of UN climate conferences, COP30 will take place in a rainforest. President Lula da Silva has described this symbolic venue as a clear political message: the world should listen to the Amazon ...
Phys.org / The Suez Rift—once deemed inactive—is still drifting, study reveals
The tectonic plates under Africa and Asia are slowly drifting apart, as the Gulf of Suez that separates these two land masses continues to widen at a rate of about 0.26–0.55 millimeters per year.
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 / 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 ...
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 / 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 ...
Phys.org / A new type of lion roar could help protect the iconic big cats
A new study has found African lions produce not one, but two distinct types of roars—a discovery set to transform wildlife monitoring and conservation efforts.
Medical Xpress / Depression tied to immune system imbalance, not just brain chemistry
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by a lowered mood and loss of interest, contributing not only to difficulties in academic and professional life but also as a major cause of suicide in South Korea. However, ...
