Medical Xpress / Survey identifies top factors Americans blame for declining focus and attention
Studies show that the average attention span is now only eight seconds. That's about as much time as it takes to read a few sentences before being distracted.
Tech Xplore / New method stores high-density methane in graphene-coated nanoporous carbon
Methane (CH4), one of the most abundant natural gases on Earth, is still widely used to power several buildings and to fuel some types of vehicles. Despite its widespread use, storing and transporting this gas safely remains ...
Medical Xpress / Injury to specific brain connections could explain some people's criminal behavior, study finds
Over the past decades, some lawyers have started using brain imaging scans as evidence during criminal trials, to provide a possible explanation for the criminal behavior of defendants. This was justified by recent neuroscientific ...
Phys.org / These Canadian rocks may be the oldest on Earth
Scientists have identified what could be the oldest rocks on Earth from a rock formation in Canada.
Phys.org / Mice born of two dads reveal hidden details of mammalian reproduction
Researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University have produced fertile adult mice from embryos constructed entirely with male genetic material. Mice carrying only paternal DNA developed into fertile adults following precision ...
Phys.org / Reviving Europe's historical scents—including 'the smell of hell'
Researchers are merging multidisciplinary expertise with AI tools to document, reconstruct and preserve Europe's historical scents.
Phys.org / Japan launches a climate change monitoring satellite on mainstay H2A rocket's last flight
Japan on Sunday successfully launched a climate change monitoring satellite on its mainstay H-2A rocket, which made its final flight before it is replaced by a new flagship model designed to be more cost competitive in the ...
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Upside-down sharks; brain network functioning in psychopaths; IQ associated with better predictions
This week, biologists discovered a new cellular organelle that's like "a new recycling center within the cell." Wild-growing tomatoes in the Galápagos are de-evolving. And geologists at the University of Southampton detected ...
Phys.org / Ancient canoe replica tests Paleolithic migration theory
When and where the earliest modern human populations migrated and settled in East Asia is relatively well known. However, how these populations moved between islands on treacherous stretches of sea is still shrouded in mystery.
Medical Xpress / Human immune response to pig kidney transplants mapped, identifying early rejection markers
A pioneering study has provided unprecedented insights into the immune response following pig-to-human kidney xenotransplantation. The findings, presented today at the ESOT Congress 2025, mark a significant step forward in ...
Medical Xpress / A cure for type 1 diabetes? Beta cell replacement with zimislecel achieves insulin independence in early trial
In a clinical trial led by University of Toronto researchers, an allogeneic stem cell–derived islet therapy (zimislecel) restored insulin production and ended severe hypoglycemia in adults with type 1 diabetes within a ...
Phys.org / Team tackles support structure bottlenecks with dual-wavelength 3D printing
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have developed a novel 3D printing technique that uses light to build complex structures, then cleanly dissolves the support material, expanding possibilities in multi-material ...
