Phys.org / Single-cell imaging and machine learning reveal hidden coordination in algae's response to light stress
Researchers from several Parisian institutions have worked together to develop a non-destructive approach to study how unicellular organisms respond to stress, focusing on cell-to-cell differences. Working together, the researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Short-lived fish offer new insights into the aging immune system
Our immune system protects the body from infections and harmful changes throughout our lives. However, it loses its effectiveness with age, resulting in an increased risk of disease. But what happens when the immune system ...
Phys.org / Boron arsenide semiconductor sets record in quantum vibrations
You may not be able to hear it, but all solid materials make a sound. In fact, atoms—bound in lattices of chemical bonds—are never silent nor still: Under the placid surface of each and every object in our surroundings, ...
Medical Xpress / Ultra-high-resolution MRI powers the most complete brain structural atlas yet
An international team led by the ITACA Institute at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) has developed one of the most comprehensive and detailed structural atlases of the human brain to date. Known as HoliAtlas, ...
Phys.org / Hydrogen shell detected around Nova Persei 1901 may be a planetary nebula
Using NASA's SPHEREx space telescope, astronomers have observed remnants of the eruption of Nova Persei 1901. As a result, they detected a bipolar molecular hydrogen shell around this nova, which may be a large planetary ...
Medical Xpress / Mediterranean diet may boost mitochondrial signals linked to heart and brain health
A study led by researchers at the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology suggests that the benefits of the Mediterranean diet may be driven, in part, by tiny proteins hidden within our mitochondria, opening a new window ...
Phys.org / NASA to build $20 bn moon base, pause orbital lunar station plans
NASA's chief on Tuesday said the US space agency will invest $20 billion to develop a base on the moon, while suspending its plans to create the lunar orbital space station known as Gateway.
Medical Xpress / New research suggests FDA should consider redesign of proposed nutrition labels
Packaged foods offer convenience for families and individuals, but they can be a major source of saturated fat, sodium and added sugars, which when consumed in excess contribute to chronic disease. To help people build healthier ...
Phys.org / Male bats sing in the rotor-swept zone of wind turbines, potentially raising collision risk
A research team led by the Museum für Naturkunde presents the first evidence that several bat species produce courtship songs in the immediate rotor-swept zone of wind turbines while circling around the nacelle. Data from ...
Phys.org / Highly and casually active citizen scientists contribute equally valuable data
The word "nemotia" is a neologism, a newly coined term that in this case, describes the sense of overwhelmingness and disconnect accompanying the thought that nothing you do will ever make a difference. If this describes ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists discover new genetic disease that causes premature aging and cognitive deficits
Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute and an international team of collaborators have defined a new genetic disease marked by premature aging and deficits in brain function. The researchers have ...
Phys.org / Python scales host microstructures that block bacterial biofilms—revealing potential for antimicrobial materials
Materials inspired by nature, or biomimetic materials, are nothing new. Scientists have designed water-resistant materials inspired by lotus leaves and rose petals, unsinkable metals based on the air-trapping, buoyant abilities ...
