Medical Xpress / The Alzheimer's gut-brain link: How butyrate could curb amyloid-β buildup and inflammation
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive memory loss and a significant decline in mental functions. Past studies have shown that people with AD exhibit a buildup of a protein called ...
Phys.org / Laser-assisted electron scattering seen with circularly polarized light for the first time
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have succeeded in detecting laser-assisted electron scattering (LAES) using circularly polarized light for the first time. The use of circularly polarized light promises valuable ...
Phys.org / It's coyote puppy season; here's what you need to know
Coyotes may be building dens and having litters of pups near you, according to new research from the University of Georgia. But chances are you won't see them—even if they are denning right next door. In one of the first ...
Phys.org / Microbes in Antarctica survive the freezing and dark winter by living on air
Winter in Antarctica is long and dark. Temperatures remain well below freezing. In many places, the sun sets in April and does not rise above the horizon again until August. Without sunlight, photosynthetic life such as plants, ...
Medical Xpress / Usage of psychedelic psilocybin rises after state decriminalization, new study finds
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound that is the active ingredient in certain types of mushrooms (also called magic mushrooms), long used by Indigenous communities in parts of Mexico and Central America ...
Phys.org / Gold nanoclusters could selectively recognize chiral biomolecules to help detect certain diseases
An extensive computational study by researchers from Finland's University of Jyväskylä predicts that gold nanoclusters could selectively recognize chiral biomolecules. This property may help in detecting certain diseases ...
Phys.org / Climate action could prevent over 13 million premature deaths, but equity choices matter for global health
A new study published in The Lancet Global Health reveals a previously underappreciated tension at the heart of international climate negotiations: policies designed to protect developing countries from bearing an unfair ...
Phys.org / New study offers insight into tissue-specific gene regulation of sheep
Livestock breeders could soon have more tools to improve the health and quality of their animals, thanks to a recent study that sheds new light on regulatory elements in the sheep genome.
Phys.org / Hunted by Neanderthals, giant elephants traveled hundreds of kilometers across ice-age Europe
Neumark-Nord in northeastern Germany was a lake landscape in the last interglacial period. It is rich in archaeological finds discovered during lignite mining. The area in Saxony-Anhalt is one of the most important European ...
Tech Xplore / Communication-aware neural networks could advance edge computing
Edge computing is an emerging IT architecture that enables the processing of data locally by smartphones, autonomous vehicles, local servers, and other IoT devices instead of sending it to be processed at a centralized large ...
Phys.org / Not just spin—electron orbitals can provide new method for controlling magnetism
Research is actively underway to develop a "dream memory" that can reduce heat generation in smartphones and laptops while delivering faster performance and lower power consumption. Korean researchers propose a new possibility ...
Phys.org / Frog-cell 'neurobots' grow self-organized nervous systems and alter gene activity
Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built exclusively using frog embryonic cells. Originally developed in the laboratories of Wyss Institute Associate ...
