Science X / Electrochemistry captures coffee's taste, powering a more consistent cup
It takes a surprising amount of work to keep coffee consistent cup to cup. An electrifying new approach from University of Oregon researchers could make the task easier. They've discovered a way to measure the flavor profile ...
Science X / Your dreams are doing far more than replaying your day, and this study shows why
Why do dreams sometimes feel vivid and immersive, while at other times they seem fragmented or difficult to interpret? A new study conducted by researchers at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca provides new insights ...
Medical Xpress / A banned chemical still lingers, and its strangest effect may depend on sex, genes and one common vitamin
In two new studies, researchers at the UC Davis MIND Institute have clarified how a long-banned group of chemicals, called polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), affect genetic activity. The research helps explain how biological ...
Medical Xpress / GLP-1 reduces heavy drinking days in treatment seeking people with alcohol use disorder and obesity, finds small trial
A trial of 108 adults with obesity seeking treatment for alcohol use finds a once-weekly semaglutide injection reduced heavy drinking days in the past 30 days by an average of roughly 12 days, 50% higher than the eight-day ...
Phys.org / Perseverance and Curiosity panoramas reveal dual sides of Mars
NASA's Curiosity and Perseverance rovers have captured two 360-degree landscapes that highlight how the missions are revealing details of the Red Planet's formation, watery past, and potential for life. Located 2,345 miles ...
Phys.org / Hold your nose and don't stop for a selfie: Why getting up close to a beached whale is a really bad idea
The beaches of Sydney's Royal National Park have been disrupted by a pungent odor. And its source is drawing in more than just seagulls.
Phys.org / Inside 18 years of ape minds, a vast record that may upend how human intelligence began
A pioneering project led by researchers from the University of Stirling and the Max Planck Institute has opened the door for new insights into the evolutionary origins of human intelligence, by compiling the largest dataset ...
Phys.org / From smoking to stigma: How screen stories influence health
What people see on screen can shape what they do off it. When actors such as James Dean and Marlon Brando lit cigarettes in 1950s rebel films, smoking came to signify cool, defiance and desire for an entire generation.
Phys.org / Single-vesicle profiling could push liquid biopsies toward everyday clinical use
Extracellular vesicles, or EVs, are tiny membrane-bound particles released by nearly all cells. They carry proteins, RNA, lipids, and other biological cargo that reflect the condition of their parent cells. Because EVs circulate ...
Science X / Alien comet carries record-heavy water, and its birthplace looks nothing like our cosmic neighborhood
Less than a year ago, astronomers discovered a comet soaring through our sky that was not from our solar system. Although we still don't know where this interstellar object called 3I/ATLAS came from, research led by the University ...
Phys.org / Investigating the disordered heart of glass
Recent research led by the University of Trento reveals that fundamental atomic vibrations remain unchanged also in ultra-stable glasses. This discovery advances the decade-long debate on the physics of disorder and opens ...
Phys.org / Specially designed material combines light and electricity to remove PFAS from water without harmful byproducts
Researchers at Clarkson University have reported a breakthrough in tackling per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of widely used "forever chemicals" that are difficult to remove from water and have raised growing ...
