Medical Xpress / Is aging an act of genetic sabotage? Scientists find a gene that turns off food detection after reproduction
When roundworms stop reproducing, they can still move and function normally but lose their ability to detect certain food odors that once led them to their meals.
Phys.org / Climate misinformation is becoming a national security threat. Canada isn't ready for it
When a crisis strikes, rumors and conspiracy theories often spread faster than emergency officials can respond and issue corrections.
Medical Xpress / Brain injuries linked with potential risk of suicide
Adults who experience a head injury face a substantially higher risk of attempting suicide compared to those without such injuries, according to the findings from a new UK-based study.
Phys.org / Wind-sculpted landscapes: Investigating the Martian megaripple 'Hazyview'
While much of Perseverance's work focuses on ancient rocks that record Mars' long-lost rivers and lakes, megaripples offer a rare opportunity to examine processes that are still shaping the surface today. Megaripples are ...
Phys.org / NASA's wideband technology demo proves space missions are free to roam
Just like your cellphone stays connected by roaming between networks, NASA's Polylingual Experimental Terminal, or PExT, technology demonstration is proving space missions can do the same by switching seamlessly between government ...
Phys.org / Archaeologists use AI to create prehistoric video game
Archaeologists from the University of Copenhagen and the University of Bergen have used AI and free digital tools to create a dynamic and educational video game about the Stone Age. According to the researchers, the new technology, ...
Phys.org / Elegant solution for measuring ultrashort laser pulses discovered
Ultrashort laser pulses—that are shorter than a millionth of a millionth of a second—have transformed fundamental science, engineering and medicine. Despite this, their ultrashort duration has made them elusive and difficult ...
Phys.org / CO₂-driven method rapidly creates complex nanomaterials at room temperature
A team of researchers at UNIST, in collaboration with the University of Cologne and Purdue University, has unveiled a rapid, sustainable method to create complex nanomaterials containing up to 30 different metals in just ...
Medical Xpress / As measles cases rise, views of MMR vaccine safety and effectiveness—and willingness to recommend it—drop
The United States is experiencing the worst year for measles cases in more than three decades, with nearly 2,000 cases confirmed by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). There have been 49 outbreaks spanning ...
Phys.org / I study rat nests—here's why rodents make great archivists
Rats and other rodents and pests can make great archivists.
Medical Xpress / NU-9 halts Alzheimer's disease in animal model before symptoms begin
An experimental drug developed at Northwestern University has demonstrated further promise as an early intervention for Alzheimer's disease.
Phys.org / Tracing the quick synthesis of an industrially important catalyst
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully traced the mechanism behind how an industrially important "superbase" catalyst is synthesized in a faster, microwave-assisted reaction. They took measurements ...
