Medical Xpress / Hidden brain circuit could explain how movement errors sharpen new skills
While humans are acquiring new skills that entail performing coordinated movements, such as walking, playing an instrument or skateboarding, their brains are known to continuously detect mistakes and correct movements over ...
Phys.org / Longer droughts and changes in rainfall are already occurring in the Amazon, research finds
According to two recently published studies led by scientists from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE), the Brazilian Amazon is already beginning to experience scenarios previously projected for the coming ...
Science X / Why 'football' beats 'shamrock' when your brain is dismantling every word at lightning speed
Before you even know what a word means, your brain is already playing a rapid-fire game of linguistic LEGO. Discover how our minds secretly dissect words, piece by orthographic piece, in the blink of an eye.
Science X / Ancient Chinese brewing recipe comes to light with sealed bronze bottle discovery
Deep inside a tomb located at the edge of the Shanjiabao cemetery in China, researchers found a tightly sealed bronze bottle with a unique garlic-shaped mouthpiece. Inside the vessel was a mysterious liquid that had sat untouched ...
Phys.org / AI and drones can help improve early warning systems for Vibrio bacteria in the Baltic Sea
The presence of the marine bacterium Vibrio vulnificus, which is potentially dangerous to humans, can now be predicted up to five weeks in advance in the Baltic Sea using artificial intelligence (AI). A research team led ...
Phys.org / Mathematicians solve decades-old mystery about the hidden order in high-dimensional randomness
Three mathematicians have laid out proof that solves a long-standing problem in mathematics. Even the mathematician—an Abel prize winner—that first posed the problem didn't believe it would ever be solved. The solution provides ...
Phys.org / Training, not silence: With support, teachers can address racism, xenophobia in any classroom
Teachers can address structural racism and xenophobia with students of any age and in any subject when schools provide training, materials, and professional support, say University of Michigan researchers.
Medical Xpress / Vitamin D analog shuts down pancreatic cancer's shield in a clinical trial
A small clinical trial led by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers has put a Salk Institute idea to the test in patients: that activating the vitamin D receptor can help reshape the protective environment surrounding ...
Phys.org / Ammonia levels in urine could serve as marker for chronic kidney disease in dogs
Dogs with lower urine ammonia-to-creatinine ratios (UACR) may suffer from faster progression of kidney disease and higher fatality rates, according to new research from North Carolina State University. The work suggests that ...
Medical Xpress / Why caffeine can sabotage deep sleep even when you still get eight hours
Evening coffee has sparked controversy for years. Some people fall asleep without difficulty, while others toss and turn for half the night. However, a growing body of research suggests the question of whether coffee makes ...
Phys.org / Mercury's water ice may have been deposited by a larger, slower impactor than previously thought—in only one day
The source of the significant water ice deposits hidden in Mercury's polar regions has been a topic of debate among researchers. A new study, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, suggests that these ...
Phys.org / Researchers push back fundamental limit on energy transfer between particles without 'spilling' radiation
Researchers at TU/e have demonstrated that energy transfer without loss via light or heat can occur over much greater distances than previously thought possible thanks to vibrations in microscopic gold rods. They succeeded ...
