Science X / Think your gaze is steady? Think again. (And thank your wobbly eyes for sight)
Try to focus on one thing, and your eyes will keep moving around very slightly, even if you think you're holding them still. Such movements are called "fixational eye movements" (FEMs). Scientists have been trying to determine ...
Phys.org / Black holes don't live forever, but they might live long enough to look like white holes
Black holes live forever, at least according to general relativity. Once material crosses a black hole's event horizon, it is trapped forever, until the last day of cosmic time. But we know that isn't true. General relativity ...
Medical Xpress / Dietary changes in older people can improve 'biological age'
Older Australians who reduce either dietary fat or animal-based protein show signs of reduced biological age, new research from the University of Sydney shows. Published in Aging Cell, the findings revealed 65- to 75-year-olds ...
Phys.org / The moon's largest impact crater scattered something priceless—and Artemis may be heading straight into it
A new study, published in Science Advances, has refined some important details about the moon's largest and oldest impact crater, which stretches more than 1,200 miles (2,000 km) on the far side of the moon. The new details ...
Medical Xpress / Treatment-resistant depression may yield to combinations of medications already in clinical use
Many people with major depressive disorder get no relief from current treatments. Newer combinations of existing medications might help, researchers report in JAMA Psychiatry.
Medical Xpress / Annual frailty screening recommended for the over 65s
A new framework to prevent and manage frailty in older Australians has been developed in a national project led by University of Queensland researchers. The Australian Consensus Statements are recommendations designed in ...
Medical Xpress / After weight loss, the body keeps pulling back—and this study shows how hard
Weight that was regained after it had been lost may be the result of persistent, biologically driven hunger, according to a study led by a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher. The study's findings appear to support ...
Phys.org / Ancient sea fossils indicate millipede and centipede ancestors evolved their legs while still underwater
The myriapoda group of arthropods includes the many-legged centipedes and millipedes that most people are familiar with. Although myriapods are all terrestrial creatures, researchers are unclear about when and how they evolved ...
Tech Xplore / Mosquito antennae inspire low-power acoustic sensor that passively enhances weak signals
Mosquitoes are generally considered a nuisance, if not a deadly, malaria-carrying pest. Despite their peskiness, their delicate antennae—which can identify other insects using vibrations—have inspired ultrasensitive next-generation ...
Phys.org / Katalyst wraps testing at NASA Goddard for Swift boost mission
A daring mission to lift NASA's sinking Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is now one step closer to launch this June. On May 4, Katalyst Space Technologies completed environmental tests of its LINK robotic servicing spacecraft ...
Phys.org / Dinosaur dental fossils reveal bird-like parental care bonds
Baby dinosaurs were likely fed more nutritious food than their adult counterparts, a finding that could offer insights into their social evolution, suggests a new study. Paleontologists uncovered this finding by studying ...
Phys.org / No more 'just say no'—Canadian schools will soon have a roadmap to address student substance use
The message to students used to be simple: "Just say no." But in today's schools, that message is not only outdated, it may be part of the problem.
