Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have discovered that milk from gray seals in the Atlantic Ocean may be more potent than breast milk. An analysis of seal milk found approximately 33% more sugar molecules than in ...
Medical Xpress / Collaborating minds think alike, processing information in similar ways in a shared task, study shows
Whether great minds think alike is up for debate, but the collaborating minds of two people working on a shared task process information alike, according to a study published in PLOS Biology by Denise Moerel and colleagues ...
Phys.org / Defining work and heat in quantum systems: Laser light coherence offers a consistent approach
Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a new approach to applying thermodynamics to microscopic quantum systems.
Phys.org / Quantum key distribution enables secure communication via hybrid and mobile channels
As part of the QuNET project, researchers have demonstrated how quantum key distribution works reliably via hybrid and mobile channels. The results are milestones for sovereign, quantum-secured communication in Germany and ...
Phys.org / The mystery of hanging coffins: Are modern Bo people the genetic heirs of an ancient burial tradition?
A new study has uncovered a direct genetic link between ancient practitioners of the Hanging Coffin burial tradition and the modern Bo people in Southwest China. The findings published in Nature Communications offer unprecedented ...

An analysis of a unique looping trail of ancient footprints in the United States reveals the dinosaur which made it may have been limping.
Phys.org / Research helps untangle the complexity of small-scale fisheries
By classifying small-scale fisheries into five broad types, a Stanford-led study helps clarify a diverse sector essential to global nutrition and local economies.
Phys.org / From orbit to X-ray: Imaging the entire EURECA satellite to reveal hidden structural damage
Whether it's a sprained ankle or a backpack at the airport, X-ray images are an everyday occurrence in many areas. Empa researchers at the Center for X-Ray Analytics have succeeded in taking images that are far less commonplace: ...
Phys.org / Electrocatalyst recycles a common pollutant to make ammonia production greener
Ammonia fuels agriculture, supports industry, and is increasingly viewed as a key player in future clean-energy systems. Yet producing it is heat and pressure intensive. A research team has developed an electrocatalyst that ...
Phys.org / Cooperative mammals show lower cancer rates than solitary, competitive species
Cancer is a common disease among mammals, but some species, such as the naked mole rat and elephants, have evolved resistance. According to new research published in the journal Science Advances, this may be because these ...
