Medical Xpress / How aging reshapes sensorimotor learning: Older adults may lose explicit strategy but gain implicit adaptation
When most humans reach late adulthood, their ability to coordinate movements and maintain balance, broadly referred to as motor control, tends to gradually decline. While these changes in motor control are widely documented, ...
Phys.org / Biodiversity offsetting shows promise in pollinator conservation
Newly created grassland habitats that compensate for nature lost to development can effectively support wild pollinators like bees and hoverflies, according to a first of its kind study in the Netherlands. The findings are ...
Phys.org / A kohl bottle from York may hint at an ancient Egyptian in Roman-Britain
Ancient Egyptians are often depicted wearing black eyeliner, known as kohl, which was stored in small containers. While kohl containers are typically found throughout Egypt and Sudan (Nubia), their presence beyond these areas ...
Phys.org / Textile wastewater treatment generates alarmingly high levels of toxic compounds, study reveals
Textile wastewater treatment practices inadvertently produce toxic byproducts—including chloroform and bromoform—at alarming levels that pose a clear occupational health hazard and lead to unknown environmental effects downstream, ...
Phys.org / The Y chromosome is home to surprising jumping genes
The humble Y chromosome may be the smallest chromosome in the mammalian genome (and getting even smaller), but it is mighty: Genes on the Y chromosome are critical for fertility in males. In a new study in the journal Current ...
Medical Xpress / Wearable device can continuously monitor blood pressure without the pesky cuffs
Blood pressure is a key metric of cardiovascular health, but standard methods for measuring it rely on occasional readings using inflatable cuffs, usually in a clinical setting. Today's blood pressure monitors are bulky, ...
Phys.org / Matter may entangle with light far more easily near quantum critical points
Quantum entanglement is a state in which particles are entwined with each other. In this entwined state, the properties of one particle influence the other, even when they aren't physically close to each other. This phenomenon ...
Medical Xpress / Alcohol linked to higher risk across multiple cancers, even below one drink daily
A new study from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington provides the most comprehensive and conservative analysis to date of alcohol's complex relationship with health, showing ...
Tech Xplore / Atomic swap can improve phosphate cathodes for high-energy sodium-ion batteries
Most smartphones, portable computers and other devices on the market today are powered by lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. While these rechargeable batteries perform remarkably well, they are based on lithium, which is not ...
Science X / Universal aging clock predicts death risk across multiple mammalian species
What's common between rats, humans, dogs and dolphins? We are all mammals, and one day will be the last day of our lives. A multinational team of researchers have now given us a powerful molecular clock that, with the help ...
Phys.org / RNA 'cut-and-patch' tool repairs faulty messages without altering DNA
A research team from the School of Biomedical Sciences at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has achieved a significant advance in biotechnology that could revolutionize treatment strategies ...
Phys.org / Two decades of data show that climate change is transforming Biscayne Bay to be warmer, saltier and more acidic
Climate change and sea level rise are altering the chemistry of Biscayne Bay in ways that could threaten South Florida's coastal ecosystems, water resources, fisheries, and recreation, according to a study led by scientists ...
