Medical Xpress / Cannabis intoxication disrupts many types of memory
Smoking cannabis can do more than blur memories. It can reshape them. A new Washington State University study found that people who consumed THC were more likely to recall words that were never presented and struggled with ...
Phys.org / Researchers track mineral growth on bioorganic coatings in real time at nanoscale
Materials that encourage mineralization, mimicking the process in the human body, are becoming increasingly important in medicine and technology. This process, which occurs at the interface between inorganic materials and ...
Medical Xpress / Recreational cannabis laws may displace illegal cannabis markets
Adopting recreational cannabis laws, beyond only medical cannabis laws, may help reduce the size of the illegal cannabis market in U.S. states, reports a new study at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. The ...

Medical Xpress / Mouse brain study reveals why blockbuster weight-loss drugs may work differently in females and males
The drugs have names that sound like small planets: semaglutide, liraglutide, lixisenatide. Collectively, they belong to a class of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogs that has reshaped the treatment of obesity and diabetes ...
Phys.org / How old is the universe? The oldest stars give us a clue
Researchers from the University of Bologna and the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) along with other institutes have proposed a new way to address the Hubble tension by comparing estimates of the universe's ...
Phys.org / Terraforming Mars isn't a climate problem—it's an industrial nightmare
Even when the idea of terraforming Mars was originally put forward, the idea was daunting. Changing the environment of an entire planet is not something to do easily. Over the following decades, plenty of scientists and engineers ...
Phys.org / Data reveal a significant acceleration of global warming since 2015
Global warming has accelerated since 2015, according to a new study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). After accounting for known natural influences on global temperature, the research team detected ...
Phys.org / How a shift in the Gulf Stream could signal the collapse of a major ocean current system
Changes in the Gulf Stream, a strong ocean current in the Atlantic, could serve as an early warning of the imminent collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The AMOC is a massive system of ocean ...
Phys.org / Red dwarf stars might starve alien plants of the 'quality' light they need to breathe
Red dwarfs make up the vast majority of stars in the galaxy. Such ubiquity means they host the majority of rocky exoplanets we've found so far—which in turn makes them interesting for astrobiological surveys. However, there's ...
