Phys.org / New michelin star jellyfish discovered in Japanese aquaria
Researchers have reported the discovery of a new species of jellyfish, Malagazzia michelin, marking only the second species of its genus ever found in Japanese waters. Led by Takato Izumi of Fukuyama University, the discovery ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists sharpen genetic maps to help pinpoint DNA changes that influence human health traits and disease risk
Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has created high-resolution ...
Medical Xpress / Skeletal muscle retains a 'molecular memory' of repeated disuse, study finds
Muscle loss (atrophy) due to inactivity is common after illness, injury, hospitalization or falls, and becomes increasingly frequent with aging. New research published in Advanced Science shows that skeletal muscle retains ...
Phys.org / Plants stay neatly patterned as they grow, and PLETHORA proteins may explain why
How do plants achieve their remarkably regular arrangement of leaves and flowers? And why does this pattern remain so stable, even as plants grow and respond to their environment? Researchers at Wageningen University & Research ...
Medical Xpress / Monthly cabotegravir-rilpivirine injections superior to standard oral ART for HIV with adherence challenges
Monthly injections of long-acting cabotegravir-rilpivirine are superior to standard oral antiretroviral therapy (ART) in persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and medication adherence challenges, according to a ...
Tech Xplore / Texas at heart of Amazon's AI push in United States
Tech titan Amazon is working to step out of Nvidia's shadow with custom "Trainium" chips designed specially for machine learning as billions of dollars are poured into artificial intelligence (AI).
Phys.org / Ion bombardment triggers a reliable quantum switch in tantalum disulfide crystals
When you toss a coin, you put it into a higher-energy state until it falls back down again. It can then end up in one of two possible states: heads or tails. No matter which state the coin was in before, after the toss both ...
Phys.org / How a 3D-printed synthetic sea lion pelvis enhances veterinary capabilities to counter ongoing beaching
Scores of sea lions continue to beach themselves along the Southern California coastline, stricken with sickness. Toxic algae blooms are to blame, though a mechanical engineering innovation could shift the tide in favor of ...
Phys.org / New lab technique can reverse chemical process linked with Alzheimer's disease
An Oregon State University scientist and a team of undergraduate students have uncovered real-time insights into a chemical process linked with Alzheimer's disease, paving the way toward better drug designs. The researchers ...
Phys.org / Physicists watch light drift in quantized steps for the first time
In physics, the classical "Hall effect," discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated when an electric current is exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field. Simply put, the magnetic ...
Medical Xpress / Superagers' brains have a 'resilience signature,' and it's all about neuron growth
Brains of older adults with super-healthy cognition grow more new neurons than those of their peers, according to a study from UIC, Northwestern University and the University of Washington. Researchers found that the brains ...
Phys.org / Mother's breasts may protect a newborn from the cold—a new perspective on breast evolution
Humans differ from other primates due to their relatively large, permanent breasts, and their development has so far not been conclusively explained. According to a study conducted at the University of Oulu, Finland, the ...
