Phys.org / A DIY, fly-powered food waste recycling system
UC Riverside scientists have created a small-scale system that transforms food waste into high-protein animal feed and fertilizer using black soldier flies, offering a sustainable solution to a major environmental problem.
Medical Xpress / To flexibly organize thought, the brain makes use of space
Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new information. How does the well-controlled and yet highly nimble nature of cognition emerge from the brain's ...
Medical Xpress / Brain's 'pulse generators' grow and shrink as memories are formed, study finds
Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections, and as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.
Phys.org / Molecular mechanisms behind speciation in corals identified
Matías Gómez-Corrales, a recent biological sciences Ph.D. graduate from the University of Rhode Island, and his advisor, Associate Professor Carlos Prada, have published a paper in Nature Communications, revealing key mechanisms ...
Phys.org / Simulations explore Neanderthal and modern human encounters in ancient Europe
Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analyzed the dynamics of possible encounters between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans on the Iberian Peninsula ...
Tech Xplore / One pull of a string is all it takes to deploy these complex structures
MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration into their curved, fully formed shape with only a single pull of a string.
Phys.org / How does Santa do it all? Quantum physics, that's how, says scientist
Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world.
Phys.org / New technique lights up where drugs go in the body, cell by cell
When you take a drug, where in your body does it actually go? For most medications, scientists can make only educated guesses about the answer to this question. Traditional methods can measure the concentration of a drug ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists grow mini brains to uncover cells behind autism-related brain overgrowth
A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence infant brain growth, a trait associated with autism.
Phys.org / Mysterious, thermally insulating patches at the base of Earth's mantle
With modern seismic tomography, Earth scientists have discovered that above Earth's core-mantle boundary (CMB), about 2,900 kilometers beneath our feet, there is a thin layer about 300 kilometers thick with remarkable structural ...
Phys.org / Drug-resistant Candida auris harnesses CO₂ to survive on skin, research reveals
A new study involving the Medical University of Vienna shows how the multi-resistant fungus Candida auris utilizes carbon dioxide (CO₂) to survive on the skin and become resistant to antifungal therapies. The research team ...
Tech Xplore / New computer vision method links photos to floor plans with pixel-level accuracy
For people, matching what they see on the ground to a map is second nature. For computers, it has been a major challenge. A Cornell research team has introduced a new method that helps machines make these connections—an ...
