Medical Xpress / How the senses intertwine to help store new speech patterns
We don't usually realize it, but every word we speak depends on a series of complex brain processes working behind the scenes. One important part of this is speech motor learning, the brain's ability to learn and remember ...
Phys.org / Meet the fleet: NASA Armstrong continues legacy of flight research
NASA's home for experimental flight is welcoming more flyers to its already high-performing fleet as it continues to support science and aeronautics test missions—continuing the legacy of pioneers like Neil Armstrong.
Phys.org / Webb and Hubble find massive star clusters emerge faster
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope together with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have looked deeply at thousands of young star clusters in four nearby galaxies, studying clusters at different ...
Phys.org / Hologram technology where 'light becomes the key' enables hard-to-copy security
A new type of hologram technology has been developed that uses the motion of light as a key, revealing information only under specific conditions. This is gaining attention as a novel approach that can simultaneously overcome ...
Medical Xpress / 'Freedom framing' could be more effective than mandates for vaccine-hesitant Americans
University of Houston researchers are applying the principles of marketing science to public health, proposing that the way vaccines are "framed" could be a factor in overcoming hesitancy.
Tech Xplore / How one ship engine could make hydrogen at sea and sidestep storage hurdles
Each year, international shipping moves over 80% of global trade and emits around 1 billion tons of greenhouse gases. Heavy fuel oil remains the industry's workhorse, prized for its reliability and energy density but notorious ...
Phys.org / One absurd raccoon army question just exposed a hidden flaw in how conspiracy beliefs get counted
A mythical army of genetically engineered raccoons has helped Australian researchers show that belief in conspiracy theories may be less common than previously thought.
Phys.org / Bees can detect viruses in food sources, but don't necessarily avoid them
The ability to detect viruses and other harmful pathogens is highly advantageous for animals, as it can guide their behavior and prevent them from illness, and—in severe cases—death. When it comes to species that live in ...
Phys.org / How the rise of continents may have set the stage for life on Earth
Earth's earliest continents may have set the chemical stage for life by regulating boron levels in ancient oceans, a new study in Terra Nova suggests.
Medical Xpress / Diagnostic delays are common for US pediatric patients with malaria, researchers find
Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), in collaboration with colleagues across the country, found that more than one in four pediatric patients treated for malaria in the United States had a delay in ...
Phys.org / Quantum geometry applied to light-based systems expands toolkit for topological photonics
Quantum geometry describes quantum states in systems with changing system parameters, such as an electron spinning in a magnetic field whose direction is slowly changing. The state of the electron evolves, and this change ...
Medical Xpress / Hantavirus outbreak risk to public 'absolutely low': WHO
The World Health Organization said Friday the risk to the public of a deadly hantavirus strain in a cruise ship outbreak was minimal, as it spreads only through "very close contact."
