Phys.org / First-of-its-kind 3D model lets you explore Easter Island statues up close
Located in the middle of the South Pacific, thousands of miles from the nearest continent, Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. To visit it and marvel at the quarries where its iconic ...
Medical Xpress / An fMRI marker of Alzheimer's-related cognitive decline
Researchers at Université Savoie Mont Blanc, Radboud University and the University of Oxford's Wellcome Center for Integrative Neuroimaging, report that attenuation of the brain's intrinsic anticorrelation between the default ...
Medical Xpress / Lower LDL cholesterol linked to higher type 2 diabetes risk independent of statin use
Researchers at the Department of Advanced Biomedical Sciences at "Federico II" University in Naples report that lower plasma LDL cholesterol is associated with a higher risk of incident type 2 diabetes in adults followed ...
Phys.org / Polar ice melt offers unexpected solution to a global climate disaster
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a system of Atlantic Ocean currents that redistributes heat and nutrients between the tropics and the North Atlantic, is one of the planet's tipping points. That means ...
Phys.org / Recently discovered X-ray transient traced to possible collapsar origin
Using various ground-based and space telescopes, an international team of astronomers has observed a recently discovered fast X-ray transient designated EP 241021a. Results of the multiwavelength observational campaign, published ...
Medical Xpress / New mutation hotspot discovered in human genome
Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we study genetics and disease.
Medical Xpress / Musicians drift less in blindfolded walk: Could musical training be utilized in cognitive rehabilitation?
A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Université de Montréal report that extensive musical training can steady the body in space, both with and without guiding sounds, during a blindfolded stepping test.
Medical Xpress / 10-minute scan could help millions with hard-to-treat high blood pressure
A speedy new scan could improve how millions of people with high blood pressure are treated, suggests a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers.
Tech Xplore / Soft robots harvest ambient heat for self-sustained motion
A warm hand is enough to drive motion in tiny Salmonella-inspired robots that harness molecular-level dynamic bonding.
Phys.org / Quantum photonic chip integrates light-emitting molecules with single-mode waveguides
Photonic quantum processors, devices that can process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects and particles of light (photons), have shown promise for numerous applications, ranging from computations and communications ...
Phys.org / Earth system models overstate carbon removal: New findings suggest nitrogen fixation is 50% lower than thought
High levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide intensify climate change, but high carbon dioxide levels can also stimulate plant growth. Plant growth removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, partially mitigating the effects ...
Phys.org / Brain's GPS hasn't changed in millions of years: Specialized neurons may be vital to evolutionary survival
The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across millions of years of evolution.
