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 ...
Science X / Hot European summers may be predictable years in advance from North Atlantic warming
A buildup of warmth in the North Atlantic Ocean could provide an early warning that Europe is more likely to experience unusually hot summers years later, according to a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters.
Medical Xpress / Popular joint pain supplement might increase Alzheimer's risk, study says
A popular over-the-counter supplement taken for joint pain might increase people's risk for Alzheimer's disease, a new study says.
Phys.org / Newfound sound wave scattering rule may lead to less bulky, more effective soundproofing
Researchers in China recently uncovered a quantum-inspired rule governing how sound is scattered by certain physical properties of a material. Their research, published in Physical Review Letters, may lead to the ability ...
Phys.org / Oldest Maya Long Count calendar date may reveal how royalty turned time into power
Archaeologists working at the ancient Maya site of El Palmar in Campeche, Mexico, have discovered what may be the earliest known Long Count calendar date in the Maya lowlands. It is carved into a stone monument and is interpreted ...
Medical Xpress / Fructose sends a weaker satiety signal to the brain than glucose
Researchers at the Monell Chemical Senses Center have found that common dietary sugars fructose and glucose, despite having the same number of calories, communicate with the brain through different gut–brain pathways, a difference ...
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 / 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 / AI tool shown to reduce eye care disparities for African American adults with diabetes
In a study exploring how an AI-assisted diagnostic tool shaped care for underserved populations at multiple community-based primary care sites, investigators at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine, found that ...
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 / Sugar-coated CAR-T cells survive longer and shrink lymphoma tumors in mice
Scientists at Florida International University may have found a way to make a powerful cancer treatment work even better. The treatment, called CAR-T therapy, uses a patient's own immune cells to fight cancer. Doctors remove ...
Medical Xpress / Shared recollections of events linked to similar brain activity patterns
People who attended or experienced the same event often remember it in completely different ways. For instance, one person might remember a family dinner as warm and enjoyable, while another might recall that the same dinner ...
