Medical Xpress / Why some people are more prone to negative emotions than others
Why are some people particularly prone to anxiety, worry or stress, while others remain more composed? An international study led by the Central Institute of Mental Health (CIMH) shows that the amygdala—previously considered ...
Medical Xpress / Going to the cinema, theater or a museum may slow down physiological aging
An analysis published online in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health suggests higher levels of cultural engagement are significantly associated with lower physiological aging.
Phys.org / Magnetic fingerprint of a cosmic explosion detected for the first time
Astronomers have made a series of landmark observations of one of the universe's most violent events. Using the U.S. National Science Foundation Very Large Array (NSF VLA) radio telescope, which is operated by the U.S. National ...
Phys.org / Invasive aoudad pose deadly risk to native bighorn sheep
An invasive species found across West Texas may pose a greater threat to native bighorn sheep than previously understood.
Phys.org / Honey bees' sense of smell changes from larval to adult life stages, study finds
Honey bee larvae lack the sophisticated olfactory capabilities of adult honey bees, a new study finds. Scientists point to this temporary loss of function as a side effect of the nurse bees' heroic level of brood care, calling ...
Phys.org / The spin of Pluto's moon, Charon, may be slowing down
Evidence of the slowing of Charon's spin period (despinning) is recorded in tectonic features on the surface of Pluto's icy moon, according to a modeling study published in Nature Communications. The findings offer insights ...
Medical Xpress / MicroRNA discovery points to new strategy for slowing lung cancer growth
Cancer develops when the body's systems for controlling cell growth break down, allowing cells to multiply unchecked. Texas A&M researchers have identified two naturally occurring molecules that appear to help restore those ...
Phys.org / Devastating Asian beetle detected in EU for first time
A tiny Asian-origin beetle that has devastated ash forests in North America has been detected in the European Union for the first time, in Hungary and Slovakia, authorities said.

Migraines, digestive problems, anxiety and depression can be part of endometriosis, although they are often interpreted as separate conditions. Research led by the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) and published in ...
Phys.org / New method brings single-particle quality control to nanocrystal manufacturing
Nanocrystals are already used in millions of devices, including televisions, laptops and displays, and are considered key materials for the next generation of quantum, sensing and solar technologies. However, they have not ...
Tech Xplore / Paintable electrodes could power creative and colorful wearable sensors
Engineers at Penn State are blending art and science to create cute, paint-on tattoos that could help spot heart attacks early, power robotic prosthetics and read brain waves—all within a colorful, customizable system that ...
Phys.org / New atomic trap boosts quantum performance by using surface forces
Researchers at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin have developed a new method for trapping and controlling atoms near an ultrathin glass fiber. This has significantly improved the atoms' ability to store quantum information—an ...
