Phys.org / Tapping the engines of cellular electrochemistry and forces of evolution
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have a unique resource in the form of the Center for Biomolecular Condensates at the McKelvey School of Engineering, which draws scientists from around the world to study ...
Phys.org / Checklist offers guide to verifying authenticity of nature and carbon credits
Global leaders have committed to halting and reversing the ongoing degradation of nature within the next few decades. But with tight public budgets, governments around the world are looking toward nature markets as one way ...
Phys.org / Lit bots beware: AI creative writing faces reader skepticism, study shows
When it comes to creative writing, score one for the humans over the machines. For now, anyway. New research finds that people evaluate creative writing less favorably when they learn it was generated in whole or part by ...
Phys.org / Early warning for wine spoilage glows in the dark
Researchers built a living biosensor made of bacteria that lights up when it detects acetic acid, the main chemical signal that wine is starting to spoil. It works in real time, even in high-alcohol conditions, so wineries ...
Phys.org / Scientists reveal gold precipitation mechanism at pyrite-water interface
Gold is generally associated with pyrite (iron disulfide, FeS2), and pyrite-induced gold precipitation is critical to the formation of high-grade gold deposits. However, the role of pyrite in precipitating gold from fluids ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Even small amounts of online math practice can improve skills
An analysis of data from 200,000 students using a computer-assisted math program supports an optimistic view of skill-focused, mastery-based learning, even with limited use.
Medical Xpress / Gout medication may reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke
A new study, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, has found that medicines used to treat gout can also reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in people with gout.
Medical Xpress / Grandparenting may protect against cognitive decline, study finds
Helping to care for grandchildren may serve as a buffer against cognitive decline in older adults, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. The work was led by researchers from Tilburg University ...
Phys.org / Harvestmen arachnids apparently use fluorescent patterns for species recognition
A research team from Munich has identified a previously unknown communication mechanism in harvestmen. Five closely related species show species-specific, strongly fluorescent structures on their backs that become especially ...
Phys.org / AI generates short DNA sequences that show promise for gene therapies
Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments that can control gene activity in specific cells. These sequences, called cis-regulatory elements ...
Medical Xpress / AI uses animal imaging data to enhance surgical precision in humans
Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD), and Mannheim University Medical Center (UMM) are presenting a method that enables artificial intelligence (AI) to learn how to ...
Medical Xpress / Athletes with better jumping ability generate faster golf club head speed, study shows
There is an old saying in golf that you drive for show and putt for dough. And if you want to have drives that put on a big show, you must have good club head speed. New research from the University of Kansas is helping determine ...
