Medical Xpress / Cerebrospinal fluid motion in the brain captured in remarkable detail
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear and watery liquid that flows in and around the brain and spinal cord. Its functions include protecting parts of the nervous system, delivering nutrients and removing metabolic waste.
Phys.org / Satellite mapping reveals rapid shifts in Antarctic glacier grounding lines
A University of Houston scientist has teamed with international partners to examine how Antarctica's massive glaciers are shifting and how that could predict sea level changes. Their latest collaboration offers the most precise ...
Phys.org / Are aliens real? Do aliens exist? Technosignatures may hold new clues
In 1995, a pair of scientists discovered a planet outside our solar system orbiting a solar-type star. Since that finding—which won the scientists a portion of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics—researchers have discovered ...
Phys.org / Kelp farming is expensive, but a new resource points to lower costs
Farming kelp to sell as food, beauty products, fertilizer additives and other goods is a growing industry in Maine, but also a costly one. One key barrier for new farmers is a lack of cost-analysis tools to help reduce expenditures ...
Tech Xplore / Clean energy found in old coal mines
Cumberland, B.C. was built on coal mining—both literally and practically. Thousands of workers were employed and millions of tons of coal were exported over 80 years before the mines were shuttered, leaving deep holes in ...
Phys.org / Researchers model how encapsulation shapes the evolution of living cells
A cell is fundamentally a container—a vessel that encapsulates life at the most basic level. Many biologists believe encapsulation of chemicals may have been necessary for evolution to gain traction.
Phys.org / South Africa's G20 presidency: Diplomatic victory, but a weak final declaration
US president Donald Trump's efforts to derail a successful wrap-up of the G20 summit in Johannesburg failed. Trump boycotted the meeting and the US told other countries through diplomatic channels not to sign a communiqué. ...
Phys.org / Strangulation laws potentially saved 1,500 lives
US legislation making strangulation a serious criminal offense has been linked to reduced intimate partner homicide rates, with 14% fewer women killed and 27% fewer male victims in the 18-49 age group.
Phys.org / Antimicrobial resistance risks from bacteria in 'Trojan horse' amoebae
Amoebae living in a creek in Mumbai are acting as a "Trojan horse," harboring and protecting multidrug resistant bacteria, according to new research.
Medical Xpress / How brain tumors respond to low-nutrient environments
A new study led by Peter Mac Professor Louise Cheng on fruit-fly brains has uncovered how cells that form the brain's protective barrier can act as "gatekeepers" and slow down the growth of some brain tumors.
Phys.org / 3D printing: The future of food
In a perfect world, people would have easy access to fresh fruits and vegetables at affordable prices. They would not live in food deserts and 30% to 40% of food produced in the U.S. would not be lost annually through overproduction, ...
Phys.org / Fishing for phages in botanical gardens
Kompetensportalen, Lucat, Lupin, Lubas and LUCRIS. Those are the names of some of Lund University's administrative systems. They are now also the names of five new bacteriophages that have recently been discovered in the ...
