Phys.org / Lemur uses opera singer's trick to belt out forest songs
We are often left open-mouthed in awe as an opera singer hits a soaring top note. Now, researchers at the University of Warwick have found that the indri, the world's only known singing lemur, appears to use a strikingly ...
Phys.org / Environmental science takes an average of seven years to influence international policy, study finds
A new study led by the University of Alicante (UA) and the Mediterranean Center for Environmental Studies (CEAM) analyzes the barriers separating scientific knowledge from environmental policy and its effective implementation. ...
Tech Xplore / OpenAI calls for US to lead global effort on AI standards
OpenAI on Monday called for the United States to lead a global effort to establish standards for developing artificial intelligence as CEO Sam Altman prepares to brief the United Nations this week.
Medical Xpress / Sugar exposure in early life linked to anxiety in adulthood
Exposure to sugar in the first 1,000 days of a child's life increases the risk of developing anxiety in adulthood, according to a new study from the University of Surrey published in Translational Psychiatry. Scientists also ...
Medical Xpress / Social context matters when studying the genetics of social behavior
Social behavior is heritable but heterogeneous. A mother reporting on her toddler learning to share, a teacher observing a schoolchild navigating friendships and peer relations, and a teenager describing their own social ...
Tech Xplore / Insect-inspired corrugations could help drones fly in Mars-like thin air
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used an evolutionary algorithm to identify optimal shapes for ultra-thin, bio-inspired corrugated airfoils, the two-dimensional cut-throughs of wings. Lightweight membrane-like ...
Dialog / Photonic Legos of functional 3D thin-films unlock high-performance heterogeneous photonic integration
Photonic integrated circuits route information with optical signals instead of relying only on electrical currents. Silicon (Si) and silicon nitride (SiNx) are excellent photonic platforms for waveguides, but they cannot ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies estrogen receptor as key protector of the right heart in pulmonary hypertension
Researchers at National Jewish Health have identified a key way estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) helps protect the right side of the heart in pulmonary hypertension. The preclinical findings reveal that ERα preserves the survival ...
Medical Xpress / New gene discovery could help identify better stem cell donors
Research from stem cell charity Anthony Nolan, published in Transplantation and Cellular Therapy, has revealed that 1 in 50 people studied has an "especially useful" gene variant that could make them a particularly desirable ...
Tech Xplore / Apple's new watches are always listening
The latest Apple Watch models have some new features: they can listen to the sounds around you all day, transcribe snippets of conversation on demand and write up summaries of everything they heard.
Phys.org / Quantum communication protocol enables three users to establish a shared secure key
Quantum key distribution allows two users to establish secret keys whose security is grounded in the laws of quantum mechanics. Extending this capability to multiple users is an essential step toward quantum networks that ...
Medical Xpress / White matter 'bridge' bundles link brain hierarchy levels to broader mental functions
To enable movement, perception, memory, reasoning, emotion and various other functions, the human brain heavily relies on communication between different regions. This communication also takes place via white matter, tissue ...
