Medical Xpress / Sleep replay of learned skills can occur independently of the hippocampus, mouse study finds
Sleep is a crucial physiological process that supports recovery, clears metabolic waste products from the brain, regulates metabolism and supports the functioning of the immune system. Sleep is also known to play a key role ...
Phys.org / Most Americans prefer non-violent border enforcement, study finds
Most Americans favor nonviolent measures, such as temporary barricades, over violent measures, like the use of rubber bullets, by border enforcement officers toward undocumented migrants on the southern border, a UCL-led ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers test heated hair products without animal testing
Hair products used in hair salons release aerosols that can cause respiratory tract irritation if inhaled. Under a contract from industry, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicine ITEM ...
Medical Xpress / Less sugar early in life may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's
Sugar restriction during the first 1,000 days after conception may significantly reduce a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's by up to 46%. Those are the findings of a new study published in the journal npj Aging that ...
Medical Xpress / Mapping how metabolism rewires protein function in cancer
All cells metabolize nutrients to generate the energy and molecular building blocks required for survival. Cancer cells, however, do it differently. To sustain rapid growth and adapt to hostile environments, they extensively ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies link between caregiver-child relationship, ADHD symptoms
Research from Oregon Health & Science University's Center for Mental Health Innovation provides new evidence that the way caregivers interact with children when they're very young can protect against the negative effects ...
Tech Xplore / Energy-efficient electric drying with superheated steam
Drying is widely used across many sectors, including the paper, cement and chemical industries. It is a key step in the production, processing and treatment of minerals, food or detergents, for example.
Phys.org / Rainfall across the US is increasingly coming from farther away
Before rain falls, the moisture that forms it may have traveled anywhere from just a few kilometers to hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away. It usually begins as water that evaporated from oceans, lakes, forests ...
Phys.org / How digital interferences shape parent-child time
New research is giving children a voice in understanding how technological interruptions affect parent-child relationships. A paper, "Distracted, Interrupted, or Disrupted: A Pathway Model of Technoference," led by Associate ...
Medical Xpress / New tool enables early intervention for diabetes related foot ulcers
A collaborative project between the University of Melbourne and RMIT has developed a thermal-imaging artificial intelligence (AI) tool called THERMUL to prevent diabetes-related foot ulcer hospitalizations and amputations ...
Phys.org / Non-monogamy may reduce jealousy overall, but feeling less desirable can still strain relationships
Comparing yourself with your partner is more common than you'd think. Psychologists even have a term for it: mate value discrepancy (MVD), which is the gap between how attractive, smart or successful each partner feels compared ...
Phys.org / Physicists capture first direct evidence of a Floquet topological state
A new study published in Nature Physics reports the first direct experimental evidence of a Floquet topological state, a novel light-induced phase of matter that, until now, has existed only on paper and in simulations. Topological ...
