Phys.org / Diversity of water striders emerged earlier than previously thought, researchers find
The diversity of water strider species apparently developed as early as the Cretaceous period, much earlier than previously thought. SNSB researchers have succeeded in clarifying the phylogenetic history of this insect family, ...
Phys.org / How the ocean's hydrothermal systems made the first life on Earth possible
Our planet is unique for its ability to sustain abundant life. From studies of the rock record, scientists believe life had already emerged on Earth at least 3.5 billion years ago and probably much earlier.
Medical Xpress / Automated 3D heart tissue platform speeds up cardiac drug testing
Researchers from Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) and the Leiden-based biotech company Ncardia have joined forces to develop a new platform that enables the automated production of 3D cardiac microtissues. This platform ...
Medical Xpress / Donated blood has a shelf life, and a new test tracks how it ages
A new, fast and easy test could revolutionize blood transfusions, giving blood centers and hospitals a reliable way to monitor the quality of red blood cells after they sit for weeks in storage.
Medical Xpress / Study shows importance of conservative evaluation approach to unexplained unintentional weight loss
Researchers at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center have completed a study aimed at improving how physicians evaluate unintentional weight loss, a common but challenging clinical problem, particularly among older ...

Through new experiments, researchers in Japan and Germany have recreated the chemical conditions found in the subsurface ocean of Saturn's moon, Enceladus. Published in Icarus, the results show that these conditions can readily ...
Phys.org / Positive interactions dominate among marine microbes, six-year study reveals
A six-year analysis of marine microbes in coastal California waters has overturned long-held assumptions about how the ocean's smallest organisms interact.
Medical Xpress / Small number of 'highly plastic' cancer cells drive disease progression and treatment resistance
A small number of cancer cells with the ability to change their identities and behaviors appear to be a key driver of cancer progression and its ability to evolve resistance to treatment.
Tech Xplore / 'Dissolution barocaloric' cooling opens new path to zero-carbon refrigeration
A research team led by Prof. Li Bing from the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators, has overcome a longstanding bottleneck in refrigeration technology. Their findings, ...
