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 / Warm Jupiter exoplanet transiting a sun-like star discovered
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new exoplanet orbiting a sunlike star as part of the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). The newfound alien world, designated NGTS-39 b, is a Jupiter-sized ...
Phys.org / Solving a 30-year-old puzzle about a mysterious superconducting material
A material made from yttrium, barium and copper oxide (better known as YBCO) has intrigued scientists since its discovery in 1987, largely because it retains its superconductive properties at a higher-than-normal temperature. ...
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 / Where mainshocks strike may explain earthquake size patterns better than timing, data suggests
Japan is well known for its large earthquakes, but not all regions show the same patterns of earthquake activity. One way to understand which places tend to experience large or small earthquakes is the b-value, a key statistical ...
Tech Xplore / Birdlike robot swims underwater, then flaps into flight without paddling
Loons, gulls, puffins and petrels are some of the 100 species of birds that can both fly and swim. These diving birds can plunge into water to swim after prey, and leap back into the air to fly away.
Medical Xpress / Young blood stem cells rejuvenate aging immune systems in old mice
By freezing your own healthy blood stem cells in your 20s, thawing them and undergoing a stem cell transplant in your 40s or 50s, it might be possible to rejuvenate your blood-forming and immune systems. Science fiction? ...
Tech Xplore / Metals' atomic arrangement can create 'corrosion highways' in nuclear reactors
Nuclear reactors are traditionally powered with dense fuel rods that can produce about 1 gigawatt of carbon-free electricity, enough to power about 100,000,000 lightbulbs. Newer power plant designs using molten salt for cooling ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers uncover new therapeutic vulnerability in one of the most aggressive childhood leukemia
An international team led by the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC) in Barcelona, the Centre for Genomics and Oncological Research (GENyO) and the University of Granada (UGR) has identified a new biological ...
Phys.org / VLA sky survey sets new standard for high-resolution, wide-area radio astronomy
The U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO) has completed observations for the Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS), the most detailed radio survey of the sky ever conducted, providing ...
Medical Xpress / For your health—can your breakfast help lower cancer risk?
Don't sleep on the cancer prevention benefits of a healthy breakfast. Whether it's oatmeal, whole-wheat toast, berries in Greek yogurt or other healthy combinations—starting the morning with simple, whole foods is a great ...
Medical Xpress / Primary care initiation of continuous glucose monitoring is effective
Among adults with insulin-treated diabetes, initiation of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) by primary care clinicians is associated with clinically meaningful improvements in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and significant reductions ...
