Medical Xpress / Reducing protein intake could support healthy aging by reshaping metabolism
Protein-fortified foods are popping up everywhere, from cereal and coffee to even protein water. But a new review covering more than 350 papers on protein restriction and aging—published July 31 in the journal Cell Press ...
Tech Xplore / Human-aware robots adapt to partners, reducing back strain during team lifting
When people work in pairs or teams, they can often solve a wider range of problems, completing some tasks faster and more efficiently than they would alone. To assist users similarly to how other humans would, robots should ...
Phys.org / South Korea records its highest-ever temperature of 42.5 C
South Korea registered its highest temperature since records began more than a century ago on Sunday, as authorities warned people to "immediately" stop all outdoor activities in affected areas.
Medical Xpress / How the brain's electrical signatures shift as tinnitus becomes chronic
Ears are built to listen to sounds from the world around us, but for some people, the sound comes from within. Tinnitus causes people to hear ringing or other noises in one or both ears or in their heads, even when there ...
Phys.org / Miniaturized laser technology paves the way for fundamental physics experiments in space
An international team of researchers has succeeded in producing atomic quantum gas mixtures with an unprecedented particle flux. In the journal Nature Communications, the scientists report on experiments conducted with the ...
Phys.org / One of the world's only two complete dodo skulls reveals new clues about the extinct bird
Only two complete dodo skulls are known to exist anywhere in the world: one at the Natural History Museum Denmark and one at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. The specimen housed in Copenhagen has been preserved ...
Medical Xpress / A lesser-known SARS-CoV-2 protein may offer clues to long COVID symptoms
Six years after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists are still uncovering surprising ways the virus can wreak havoc on the body. A new UCLA study published in Science Advances describes a previously unrecognized ...
Phys.org / Air-stable, ultrathin superconductors developed for more scalable quantum devices
Super-thin superconducting materials, which are only one or a few atoms thick, have unique properties scientists can leverage to produce more compact, scalable, and efficient quantum devices. But these fragile materials degrade ...
Phys.org / Long-term study suggests landfill methane emissions are far higher than estimates
Methane is an especially potent greenhouse gas, causing much more warming than carbon dioxide on a unit-for-unit basis—and a new, uniquely long-term study of emissions at a New Jersey landfill suggests that estimates of methane ...
Medical Xpress / Why laughter can trigger sudden muscle weakness in people with narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological condition characterized by disruptions in the regulation of sleep-wake cycles. People with this condition often experience extreme sleepiness during the day and, in some cases, a sudden ...
Medical Xpress / Why do people's pupils dilate when they're surprised? Researchers explain
When people encounter new information that challenges their expectations, their pupils are likely to dilate. This physiological response is a sign that something is happening in the brain to help the person adapt to the new ...
Phys.org / New semiconductor maser operates continuously above room temperature
Lasers have become indispensable in everyday life and research, with applications ranging from data transmission and metrology to manufacturing. Masers, by contrast, have so far found hardly any practical applications.
