Phys.org / How a 'psychic' horse named Clever Hans changed the way we do science
Do you sometimes wish that you had telepathic or other supernormal powers? About 100 years ago, some of the greatest minds in philosophy thought there were people who had such abilities. In fact, they even suggested that ...
Medical Xpress / An 'undruggable' cancer target meets an RNA-based strategy to curb tumor growth
Researchers at Umeå University have developed a strategy to slow the growth of tumor cells. By targeting the genetic instructions that control the production of a key cancer-related protein, they were able to inhibit tumor ...
Phys.org / Exploring how bumble bee queens coordinate chemical signals
New research by SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) Assistant Professor of Biology Dr. Margarita Orlova is providing new insight into how bumblebee queens communicate through chemical signals and how those signals change ...
Tech Xplore / How probabilistic analysis can help improve nuclear safety
In nuclear power plants, primary coolant piping systems are designed to maintain the structural integrity of the nuclear reactor under normal operating conditions. A pipe rupture that can result in a loss-of-coolant accident ...
Medical Xpress / Inspired by soap bubbles, scientists reproduce alveolar movement in artificial lung model
Almost everyone has blown a soap bubble through a straw at least once. Inspired by this thin soap bubble film, an artificial lung that breathes like a real lung has been developed. A research team led by Professor Sungjune ...
Phys.org / Mule helps scientists build the clearest horse and donkey genomes yet
A mule has helped researchers build the most complete reference genomes to date for horses and donkeys, giving scientists access to complex regions of DNA that earlier versions could not fully capture.
Tech Xplore / New system recognizes masked faces using eyes and forehead
A face-recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing a face mask covering their nose and mouth is discussed in the International Journal of Computational Vision and Robotics. The new system uses biometrics ...
Medical Xpress / Workout or nap? Either can help your sleepless brain, study finds
A short workout or a nap can help protect memory after a sleepless night, a McGill University-led study has found.
Phys.org / Microcline reveals how a common mineral surface triggers ice formation in clouds
Pure water freezes only at around -38°C (-36°F). Tiny mineral dust particles act as so-called ice nucleators—crystallization seeds on which ice crystals form. A research team at Bielefeld University and the University of ...
Medical Xpress / Beyond hunger: Food insecurity in later life linked to dementia
Older adults who experienced food insecurity in both midlife and later life had nearly four times the risk of probable dementia as those who remained food secure, according to new University of Michigan research.
Phys.org / Lunar soil reads as a cosmic time capsule for exploding stars
When a star reaches its final stages of life, it ends in a bright, powerful explosion called a supernova and scatters material across the universe. A new study led by a University of Hawai'i at Mānoa researcher has discovered ...
Phys.org / Could 12 inches of rain hit New York City? AI maps plausible rare storms
Can a city's seawall stand up to a blockbuster storm? Will a region's power grid hold against record-breaking heat? And can a town's firefighting resources contain a major wildfire?
