Medical Xpress / The same sounds are mapped similarly in the human and mouse brain, study finds
While exploring the world around them, both humans and other animals continuously interpret information they pick up with their sight, hearing, touch and other senses. Neuroscience research suggests that the brain does not ...
Phys.org / The secret to hydrogen's quantum behavior lies in symmetry
As interest in clean hydrogen power grows, so does the need for safe storage and transportation materials. One such material, vanadium, is a leading candidate because it readily absorbs hydrogen and allows it to move through ...
Phys.org / X-ray tracking reveals uneven expansion in young supernova remnant G292.0+1.8
By analyzing data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, Dutch astronomers have investigated a young, oxygen-rich supernova remnant known as G292.0+1.8. Results of the new study, published June 29 on the arXiv preprint server, ...
Phys.org / The starry night redux: Dark energy camera captures stars, nebulae, clusters, and more in a rich, van Gogh-esque scene
The 570-megapixel Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera (DECam) captures a vibrant scene filled with swirls and stars reminiscent of Van Gogh's The Starry Night. This new cosmic masterpiece features the glowing ...
Phys.org / Engineers find a precise way to grow artificial blood vessels
Tissue engineers are finding ways to grow living organs and tissues from cells, with the aim of replacing diseased and damaged counterparts in the body. Scientists have successfully grown artificial muscles, livers, kidneys, ...
Phys.org / Scientists explain how nucleolus sub-compartments drive ribosome assembly
The nucleolus is a liquid-like cellular organelle where protein factories called ribosomes are assembled. Researchers knew of three distinct compartments within the nucleolus, but how these compartments function to drive ...
Phys.org / Glyphosate ban could cost Illinois farmers millions annually
A new analysis from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the Illinois Soybean Association finds that Illinois corn and soybean farmers could lose up to $609 million per year—representing a 3.6% revenue loss—if ...
Tech Xplore / India launches first hydrogen-powered train built in the country to expand clean energy on railways
India rolled out its first domestically built, hydrogen-powered train on Friday, a move aimed at expanding the use of clean energy in its vast rail network.
Medical Xpress / Medical spas and pharmacies offering compounded weight-loss drugs despite regulatory concerns
Despite the end of federal shortages of popular GLP-1 weight-loss medications, the market for compounded alternatives remains strong—and some patients may unknowingly be receiving products from pharmacies with concerning ...
Phys.org / 'Uncanny valley' effect observed in macaques through 3D animated monkey avatars
A new tool that allows researchers to create realistic full-body animations of monkeys has provided the first evidence that nonhuman primates experience the "uncanny valley" phenomenon for body avatars, according to a study ...
Tech Xplore / Startups bet on AI—and a leaner future
When Eric Lauer needs to hire at Giftory, the online gift-giving platform he runs, he's no longer looking for eager young coders fresh out of college.
