A new study shows how social media can be an important weapon in combating perinatal depression and anxiety in rural areas if it is carefully designed and misinformation is rooted out. James Cook University Senior Research ...

How do software developers respond when they come across code they do not intuitively understand? Neuropsychologists have now explored this question by recording brain activity alongside eye movements. A team of psycholinguists ...

As the global temperature increases, Earth's oceans are experiencing a huge shift. In addition to commonly known effects, such as melting of ice caps and thermal expansion, there is an invisible factor that influences ocean ...

Can we make artificial intelligence impervious to adversaries who want to twist the technology to nefarious ends? Though AI is among the newest of technologies, the answer to that question is nearly a century old.

Inside every human cell, a tiny structure called a lysosome acts like a recycling center, breaking down toxic waste, clearing damaged proteins and helping keep the cell functioning properly. When that recycling center stops ...

Researchers from Skoltech—a VEB.RF group institution—and their colleagues from the U.S. and China have explained how the antibiotic resistance gene established itself in the genome of the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae. ...

Healthy sleep and regular exercise can work to counteract genetic mutations in white blood cells that are associated with cardiovascular disease and are most common among older people, Mount Sinai researchers have found. ...
