Phys.org / Q&A: How eyewitness memory can serve justice
Eyewitness misidentifications have long been a source of wrongful convictions, casting doubt on the reliability of memory in the courtroom. But UC San Diego psychologist John Wixted says the story doesn't end there. His research ...
Medical Xpress / Microplastics discovered in human reproductive fluids
New research presented at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) reveals the presence of microplastics in human reproductive fluids, raising important questions about ...
Phys.org / Young forests could help to capture carbon in climate change fight
Young forests regrowing from land where mature woodlands have been cut down have a key role to play in removing billions of tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and combating climate change, a new study reveals.
Phys.org / Coherent, not chaotic—surprising order found in Brahmaputra-Jamuna River channel migration
Compared to single-channel meandering rivers, multichannel braided rivers are often found in environments with sparse vegetation and coarse, shifting bars of sediment. Past research has called the way in which the paths of ...
Medical Xpress / Royalty-based investment model could bridge 'valley of death' between drug discovery and delivery
A team of researchers from the MIT Sloan School of Management, the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Questrom School of Business at Boston University, and QLS Advisors have introduced ...
Phys.org / The imitation game: Why some species are better at fooling predators than others
Experts from the University of Nottingham have created life-size 3D-printed insect models to explore how some species trick predators into thinking they're more dangerous than they really are—and avoid being eaten as a ...
Phys.org / How night lizards survived the asteroid that ended the dinosaurs
Yale University ecologists reveal a lizard lineage that rode out the dinosaur-killing asteroid event with unexpected evolutionary survival traits. Night lizards (family Xantusiidae) survived the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K-Pg) ...
Phys.org / Tiny MoOₓ clusters on TiO₂ nanosheets boost selectivity in photocatalytic methane oxidation
Researchers from the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology (APM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered that anchoring subnanometric MoOx clusters onto TiO2 nanosheets can effectively ...
Phys.org / Japan plans 'world first' deep-sea mineral extraction
Japan will from January attempt to extract rare earth minerals from the ocean floor in the deepest trial of its kind, the director of a government innovation program said Thursday.
Phys.org / Wells Fargo scandal drove borrowers to fintech lenders, study suggests
The Wells Fargo financial scandal in 2016 diminished consumer trust in traditional banks while driving homebuyers to fintech lenders for mortgages, a University of California, Davis study suggests.
Phys.org / Artificial nucleolus model reveals step-by-step process of ribosome assembly
Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But a critical aspect underlying the machinery of protein manufacture has long been hidden inside the ...
Medical Xpress / Rare lung cells trigger rapid repair after smoke or virus exposure in mice—a similar pathway may exist in humans
A rare cell in the lining of lungs is fundamental to the organ-wide response necessary to repair damage from toxins like those in wildfire smoke or respiratory viruses, Stanford Medicine researchers and their colleagues have ...
