Medical Xpress / Forgotten memories can leave silent traces in the brain
Memory is not a perfect record. Some memories fade, while others remain hidden and can be brought back by reminders. But reminders can also distort what is remembered, and scientists still know little about how the brain ...
Phys.org / Buried Roman workshop reveals large-scale pottery trade beyond local markets
A few years ago, the first ceramic finds came to light during construction work in the Burg district of the municipality of Hannersdorf. Geomagnetic surveys in subsequent years provided evidence of numerous kilns thought ...
Medical Xpress / Ivermectin taken at the start of pregnancy is not associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes
A study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), an institution supported by the "la Caixa" Foundation, found no increased risk of miscarriage, stillbirth or major congenital anomalies among women inadvertently ...
Phys.org / Neutron star collisions may forge gold more slowly than expected
Where do gold, platinum and uranium come from? This question has fascinated astrophysicists and nuclear physicists for decades. A research team from Technische Universität Darmstadt has now taken an important step toward ...
Phys.org / Listening to songbird dreams for clues to how sleeping brains learn
Entering and manipulating dreams may sound like science fiction, but for Freeman Hrabowski Scholar Walter Gonzalez, these scenarios aren't confined to the big screen.
Medical Xpress / Simple triage protocol cuts ER wait times without adding beds or staff, new study finds
Emergency departments across the country face a common challenge: how to reduce long wait times without adding more beds, hiring more staff or expanding facilities. New research suggests one answer may be hiding in plain ...
Phys.org / Flash droughts can pull 'alarming' amounts of moisture from the landscape and intensify wildfires
When catastrophic wildfires capture global headlines, such as the unprecedented blazes sweeping through southern Europe this summer or the devastating 2019–20 "Black Summer" in Australia, they are almost always preceded by ...
Phys.org / Light's hidden properties save quantum information from the chaos of bad weather
For years, researchers have tried to harness the "twist" of light to transmit data. This property describes how light spirals as it travels forward, and because it can be molded into a virtually infinite number of different ...
Phys.org / First AI-driven telescope goes stargazing
Every night, astronomers must carefully assess changing weather, the intensity of moonlight and shifting atmospheric conditions before deciding where to point a telescope. It's a constant balancing act designed to squeeze ...
Phys.org / Chicken kidney sponge could be 'outstanding' at cleaning up polluted ports
Ports rank among the most disturbed marine environments. Pollutants like trash, oil and toxins from antifouling paints tend to accumulate in enclosed harbors. Invasive species arriving in ballast water may displace native ...
Tech Xplore / Legged robots raise surveillance, job and battlefield accountability concerns
Legged robots have recently transitioned from science fiction to engineering fact, with modern humanoid and quadrupedal machines now capable of delivering packages to front doors and taking on dangerous military missions. ...
Medical Xpress / Three-week digital training linked to motor gains and brain connectivity changes in Parkinson's patients
A new study from Reichman University has found that a short, three-week digital training program, combined with standard drug treatment for Parkinson's disease, led to significant improvements in patients' motor function ...
