A new study from the HistoGenes project, of which Patrick Geary, professor emeritus in the School of Historical Studies, is co-PI, is helping scholars frame a better picture of the early medieval people who inhabited Western ...
Phys.org / Molecular anchors on gut phages could open new therapeutic avenues
Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria and are not considered human pathogens. Yet researchers at the Translational Microbiology Laboratory of the Institute of Biochemistry, HUN-REN Biological Research ...
Medical Xpress / Our brains may be automatically filtering out negative words
We tend to assume that emotionally charged words are more likely to grab our attention. An insult shouted across a crowded room or a disturbing phrase overheard on television can seem impossible to ignore. But a new study ...
Phys.org / Trees may store less carbon than expected in the future
It's intuitive to think that if a tree is photosynthesizing, it's also growing. But that's not necessarily so—and a new study of oak trees, published in the journal Science Advances, found that even as they photosynthesize ...
Medical Xpress / Written exposure therapy can provide transformative, scalable PTSD care
JMIR Publications today released an article on a brief, scalable intervention for post-traumatic stress disorder in its News and Perspectives section. Authored by JMIR correspondent Candice Marie Sage, Ph.D., "Written Exposure ...
Phys.org / Mountainous landscapes store far more carbon than previously thought, new research shows
Hilly and mountainous landscapes have a much greater ability to store carbon in the soil than previously thought, according to a new study co-led by scientists at the University of Oregon.
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop injectable device to control nerves without surgery
Researchers from NYU Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, have developed a tiny, injectable medical device that introduces a new approach to treating chronic pain and movement disorders by controlling ...
Phys.org / New findings complete first evolutionary history of all living millipede orders, dating back 460 million years
Long before vertebrates walked on land, millipedes had the place to themselves. Hundreds of millions of years before dinosaurs arrived, these early decomposers were helping establish Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. But despite ...
Phys.org / Rare-earth-free zinc oxide achieves a first in stress-to-light conversion
Mechanoluminescent materials convert mechanical energy such as stress, strain and vibration directly into light, making them attractive as self-powered sensors that require no batteries or wiring. From biomedical sensors ...
Medical Xpress / Tourette patients face high suicide risk, pain and discrimination, report reveals
Some might joke about Tourette syndrome, but it's hellish for those who have the condition, a new report says. In all, 1 in 4 teens and adults with Tourette or other tic disorders have attempted suicide at some point in their ...
Tech Xplore / Transparent OLED advance could improve AR displays and smart windows
Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Prof. Yongtaek Hong from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has developed a high-performance transparent organic light-emitting ...
Medical Xpress / Faulty protein cleanup gene tied to severe early-onset neurological disorders
Though protein clumps associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's were discovered more than a century ago, researchers remain largely unable to prevent them from forming or eliminate them from the brain. And though a variety ...
