Medical Xpress / The same sounds are mapped similarly in the human and mouse brain, study finds
While exploring the world around them, both humans and other animals continuously interpret information they pick up with their sight, hearing, touch and other senses. Neuroscience research suggests that the brain does not ...
Medical Xpress / Cellular recycling protein plays critical protective role in the gut
Australian researchers have discovered that even a modest reduction in the protein BECLIN1 leads to a significant increase in gut inflammation, which can lead to further disease and complications over time.
Tech Xplore / Thread-like electronics point to less obtrusive wearable health monitors
Imagine using a wearable device so thin and discreet that you'd hardly be aware you were wearing it. Now Tufts engineers have created flexible electronics that could do just that. Made of thread-based integrated circuits ...
Phys.org / X-ray tracking reveals uneven expansion in young supernova remnant G292.0+1.8
By analyzing data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, Dutch astronomers have investigated a young, oxygen-rich supernova remnant known as G292.0+1.8. Results of the new study, published June 29 on the arXiv preprint server, ...
Phys.org / Black hole collisions may follow entropy law, offering simpler remnant predictions
When two black holes orbit each other, they eventually spiral inward and collide in one of the most violent phenomena in the universe. The event is so energetic that it significantly distorts the universe around it. It emits ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny chip that controls mid-infrared light could improve detection of gases and heat
Infrared cameras can be used to spot useful information that our eyes can't see, such as gases escaping from a pipeline, chemicals in the atmosphere or heat leaking from a building. But sensing infrared light in sophisticated ...
Phys.org / Only 13% of biodiversity promises from 180 influential companies pass accountability test
New research by the University of Oxford and the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University has revealed that most biodiversity commitments made by large, influential companies are not precise enough to enable society ...
Tech Xplore / Turning fly ash waste into greener tire rubber
Tires are essential to modern transport, but their production and use raise environmental concerns. One important issue is zinc oxide, a common activator used in rubber vulcanization. Zinc oxide helps rubber form the crosslinked ...
Phys.org / Atomic‐scale tracing of lithium trapped in copper current collectors
Any loss of lithium reduces the capacity and service life of lithium batteries. Recent research suggested that lithium is lost to the current collector during charging. Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, working ...
Phys.org / Trees for hotter cities: New approach can bolster community input in meeting targets
Efforts to plant more trees in cities could be boosted thanks to a new tool for planners and community groups, published by an international group of researchers. Residents, policymakers and tree officers in Cardiff, Milton ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop a safer, more reliable material for growing small-scale models of the human gut
Scientists can use patient-derived tissue samples to grow miniature versions of human organs, allowing them to test new medications and disease treatments for personalized care.
Medical Xpress / Populationwide DNA screening expands genetic risk testing beyond major medical centers
Some people inherit genetic changes that put them at higher risk of developing certain cancers or heart disease. A simple genetic test can identify those risks early, creating opportunities to prevent disease or detect it ...
