Medical Xpress / Early warning signs: Poor grip strength linked to greater odds of developing depression
Handgrip strength is the maximum force a person can apply with their hand, and it is often used as a proxy for overall muscular strength, functional capacity, and aging. Scientists have found that it can also be an indicator ...
Phys.org / Atlantic seaweed blooms may be predictable, opening path to carbon removal and biofuels
Across the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and West African coasts, massive arrivals of Sargassum seaweed have become an annual crisis. Thick mats of algae blanket beaches, disrupt fisheries, damage tourism and release harmful ...
Science X / Seen from Mars, an interstellar visitor looks completely different and changes what astronomers thought they knew
Last fall, a Chinese spacecraft orbiting Mars captured images of a comet from another star system, offering scientists a fresh vantage on a rare visitor.
Medical Xpress / Freud's century-old ideas are colliding with modern brain science in ways that could change how minds are treated
A new article published in the neurocognitive journal Entropy argues that Sigmund Freud's model of the mind, as well as more recent psychoanalytic theory, has similarities with the leading model in brain research today, the ...
Medical Xpress / Mitochondria may control immune cell activation and the effectiveness of immunotherapy
A study led by researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) has identified a mitochondrial checkpoint that enables dendritic cells to efficiently activate T lymphocytes against viruses and ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists generate electricity from ambient moisture using everyday ingredients
In a study published in Nano Energy, researchers from Queen Mary, the University of Warwick, Imperial College London, and Universitas Mercatorum report a highly stable, biodegradable Moisture-Electric Generator (MEG). The ...
Phys.org / Second ribosome binding site helps explain how tetracyclines work
For decades, doctors have widely used tetracyclines for conditions ranging from acne to tick-borne illnesses. Using high-resolution imaging technology, researchers in the laboratory of Christopher Bunick, MD, Ph.D., associate ...
Phys.org / South China Sea coral reefs reveal carbon stores rivaling mangroves and seagrasses
A collaborative research team has revealed the long-overlooked carbon storage potential of coral reef ecosystems and how reef-dwelling fish, corals, and surface sediments jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs. The paper is ...
Science X / Morning coffee may give early Parkinson's brains an unexpected edge where everyday thinking starts to slip
Forgetting familiar faces, struggling to make simple decisions, or taking longer than usual to respond to stimuli are just a few examples of how cognitive decline can appear in everyday moments for many people with Parkinson's ...
Phys.org / Using pulsars as ultra-precise gravitational probes to 'weigh' neighboring galaxies
Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, have identified a promising new method for measuring the mass of galaxies orbiting the Milky Way by using pulsars, ...
Phys.org / Overpopulation can impair fertility. A new study explains why
Scientists have reported it for decades: overpopulation can impair reproduction. Crowded chickens lay fewer eggs. Crowded mice have smaller broods. In humans, several studies have associated increased population density with ...
Phys.org / How the Great Pyramid of Giza has survived 4,500 years of Egyptian earthquakes
The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt has survived more than 4,500 years. Earthquakes have repeatedly shaken the region, including the magnitude 5.8 Cairo earthquake in 1992, which dislodged some of the pyramid's outer casing ...
