Phys.org / Food innovation in your kitchen: Giving peas, beans and lentils a surprisingly meat-like bite
Separating things and then putting them back together is a common principle in industrial food production. Agricultural raw materials are broken down into their individual constituents, such as proteins, starches and fats, ...
Phys.org / Exotic pines in the Southern Hemisphere grow faster and are more drought-resistant, study reveals
A new study published in the journal Nature reveals that conifers planted outside their native range in the Southern Hemisphere not only grow up to four times faster than those in the Northern Hemisphere but also show greater ...
Phys.org / Not tiger, not wolf: Australian thylacine skull reveals a far different hunting style
A new study led by Flinders University has flipped the historical narrative about Australia's thylacine, finding the native apex predator known as the "Tasmanian tiger" was significantly different from the wolves and wild ...
Phys.org / Light reveals internal motion in electron crystals and can trigger their melting
Electrons, particles that carry a negative electric charge, typically move through materials. At low densities and temperatures, however, the electrical repulsion between them can overpower their tendency to move, prompting ...
Medical Xpress / Tau's surprise birthplace offers a clue to how Alzheimer's tangles begin
Where and how does an Alzheimer's tangle begin? A new study by neuroscientists at Columbia University challenges a long-held assumption about the source of toxic tau proteins, which form neurofibrillary tangles and are closely ...
Medical Xpress / AI scribes may fail to capture patients' experiences
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to take notes can change the nature of interactions between patients and clinicians, sometimes missing vital information, according to the results of a new review.
Medical Xpress / Novel PET/MRI approach improves detection of endometriosis in difficult-to-assess areas
A new PET/MRI technique that targets fibroblast activation protein (FAP) overexpressed in endometriosis is more effective at identifying lesions than conventional imaging. According to new research published in The Journal ...
Tech Xplore / Four-legged robot learns dog-like movements to leap through tight spaces
Cats, dogs, wolves and other agile four-legged animals can easily jump and squeeze through tight spaces while moving at high speed. Reproducing similar agile motions and skills in quadrupedal robots has so far proved challenging.
Phys.org / Scientists discover the key ingredients that make birdsong pretty
What makes birdsong beautiful? Answering this question could help us understand how soundscapes make the natural world relaxing for humans, opening the door to improving parks, upgrading the design of stressful places like ...
