Phys.org / Distant ocean temperatures found to influence snowfall in Antarctica
Snowfall deep inside East Antarctica has increased in recent decades, and distant ocean temperature changes may be partly responsible. Using long-term climate data and observations from Dome Fuji station, researchers found ...
Phys.org / Walking shark discovery reveals new species in tiny Papua New Guinea range
A night dive to study wild sharks that can walk on land has surfaced with something even rarer—a species unknown to science. "New shark species don't come along that often, and it's most definitely the first one named after ...
Phys.org / How the invention of glassblowing changed everyday life in ancient Rome
We see glass objects every day and often don't think much about them. Mass-produced glass has become so cheap we barely think about the things it allows us to do.
Tech Xplore / Engineered van der Waals crystal mimics neuronal cells with light-driven learning
A research team led by Professor Taesung Kim of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has developed an optoelectronic synaptic device that mimics the functions of human neurons and synapses ...
Phys.org / AI decodes plant DNA 'switches' to better predict gene control
An international research team led by Forschungszentrum Jülich and the IPK Leibniz Institute has developed an artificial intelligence model that predicts where regulatory proteins dock onto plant DNA to switch genes on and ...
Tech Xplore / Aperture-tuning antenna keeps 5G signals strong across wider frequencies
A compact aperture-adjustable antenna developed by researchers at Science Tokyo could improve high-speed wireless communication across the wide 5G millimeter-wave frequency bands without increasing power consumption. The ...
Phys.org / Research reveals how parenting styles influence children's honesty
Parents who come down hard on their children for telling lies or misbehaving may believe they are teaching the child right from wrong. But new research by NUS suggests that overly strict or punitive parenting could be part ...
Phys.org / Observation of living cells solves mystery of bacterial cell division
Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel University has solved the long-standing mystery of how the bacterium B. subtilis regulates its cell ...
Medical Xpress / Many cancers originate from a single cancer cell and evolve through early bursts of chromosome changes
A comprehensive multi-cancer study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has revealed that cancer cells within tumors are genetically diverse, yet all carry the same core genetic changes that ...
Phys.org / Cockatoos learn when touchscreen rewards 'die,' then apply rule to new contexts
For humans, death is surrounded by culture, emotion, ritual and language. But the question can be framed in a much more basic way: What would an animal have to understand in order to recognize that someone has died?
Medical Xpress / Caregivers of children hospitalized for cancer, blood disorders at risk for food insecurity, researchers find
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine found caregivers of children hospitalized for cancer and blood disorders may experience food insecurity during their child's stay, even if they don't face that issue ...
Phys.org / Thermochemical mantle plume identified as the likely origin of Earth's largest oceanic plateau
The Ontong Java Plateau in the western Pacific Ocean is the largest oceanic plateau on Earth, and its formation mechanism has not been well understood.
