Phys.org / How to turn water into wine, with raisins
It's astonishing to realize how innovative our ancestors were in food and beverage production before modern science and technology. Without understanding or isolating them, ancient peoples made use of yeasts like Saccharomyces ...
Phys.org / The DEVILS in the details: How the cosmic landscape impacts the galaxy lifecycle
A team of astronomers from the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) has released new data from an extensive galaxy evolution survey that found a galaxy's "neighborhood" plays a major role in how it changes ...
Medical Xpress / Narcissism and its role in sexually motivated serial killers
Researchers at the University of Bamberg have traced a darkly intricate form of narcissism in sexually motivated male serial killers, reporting that many offenders combine brittle sensitivity with a craving for admiration ...
Tech Xplore / Soft hybrid material turns motion into power—without toxic lead
Scientists have developed a new material that converts motion into electricity (piezoelectricity) with greater efficiency and without using toxic lead—paving the way for a new generation of devices that we use in everyday ...
Medical Xpress / Polyphenol-rich diets associated with lower long-term cardiovascular disease risk
People who regularly consume polyphenol-rich foods and drinks, such as tea, coffee, berries, cocoa, nuts, whole grains and olive oil, may have better long-term heart health.
