Medical Xpress / Moment-to-moment memory access may depend on histamine neuron swings
The same memory can feel vivid and accessible one moment, yet stubbornly out of reach the next—even when the memory itself remains intact. A research team led by Professor Hiroshi Nomura at the Institute of Brain Science, ...
Phys.org / Novel nanowire device offers rapid, noninvasive cancer detection
A research team in Japan has developed an efficient, minimally invasive cancer detection device that uses high-performance zinc oxide nanowires to selectively capture extracellular vesicles (EVs) from bodily fluids.
Science X / People are not as dishonest as we expect them to be, finds new study
According to a Pew Research report, Americans trust one another less than they did a few decades ago. Social trust is shaped largely by personal experiences of navigating the world, as well as by how strongly people believe ...
Phys.org / 'Janus-faced' nanomaterials pave the way for selectively capturing radioactive pollutants
A KAIST research team has succeeded, for the first time, in synthesizing the core raw material for fabricating asymmetric MXene, a so-called "Janus-faced" nanomaterial that can perform distinct functions because of differing ...
Phys.org / New art test could help museums spot fake Van Goghs without touching paintings
A new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties introduces a pioneering, noninvasive technique that can distinguish authentic artworks from forgeries, offering museums, collectors, ...
Medical Xpress / Decades-old puzzle solved as scientists uncover cause of inflammatory bowel disease
Researchers at the Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of Oxford, together with Newcastle University's Translational and Clinical Research Institute and the Department of Immunology at Cambridge University Hospitals ...
Medical Xpress / Shared recollections of events linked to similar brain activity patterns
People who attended or experienced the same event often remember it in completely different ways. For instance, one person might remember a family dinner as warm and enjoyable, while another might recall that the same dinner ...
Phys.org / California's tectonic stress has reached record level, earthquake model reveals
Earthquakes usually occur along fracture zones in Earth's crust, where large tectonic plates slide past one another and become locked. Stress builds up over long periods and is suddenly released in the form of an earthquake. ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic map for cocaine addiction points beyond brain to liver
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have completed a massive genetic study that identifies key biological drivers of cocaine addiction, uncovering a potential new target for treatment that resides in the ...
Medical Xpress / Lower dopamine may drive teen risk-taking that fades with age
Teenage risk-taking, such as experimentation with alcohol, cannabis, nicotine and other substances, may reflect a compensatory response to lower baseline dopamine, the brain chemical for reward activity, a new University ...
Phys.org / Silver nanoparticles pave the way for precise DNA cutting and joining
DNA is composed of long chains that act as the blueprint for living organisms. In genetic engineering, scientists cut DNA at specific sites and join the resulting fragments to other DNA sequences, enabling applications such ...
Medical Xpress / Single high dose of psilocybin temporarily restores lost abilities in an 80-year-old Alzheimer's patient
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychoactive compound found in mushrooms of the Psilocybe genus. These mushrooms may have existed on Earth for nearly 65 million years, dating to the asteroid impact that caused the dinosaurs' ...
