Phys.org / Old aerial photos give scientists a new tool to predict sea level rise
On 28 November 1966, an American airplane flies over the Antarctic Peninsula just south of the southernmost tip of Chile. On board is a photographer, probably from the U.S. Navy, whose job is to map the Antarctic landscape. ...
Phys.org / Junggar Basin sediments reveal interplay between solar system chaos and Earth's carbon cycle
Researchers from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Columbia University, along with their collaborators, have analyzed sediments from the terrestrial Sangonghe Formation ...
Phys.org / Scientists reveal rapid electric current evolution during solar X-class flare
A research team led by Dr. Shen Jinhua from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has investigated rapid spatiotemporal vertical electric currents (VECs) during an X-class flare.
Medical Xpress / Key group of cerebral amygdala neurons identified in anxiety and social disorders
A research team has discovered that a specific group of neurons in the amygdala, a brain region involved in emotion regulation, plays a key role in the emergence of conditions such as anxiety, depression, and altered social ...
Phys.org / Split RNA switch system boosts precision of cell-specific gene expression control
Professor Hirohide Saito (Department of Life Science Frontiers at CiRA / The University of Tokyo) and Assistant Professor Hirohisa Ohno (Department of Life Science Frontiers at CiRA) recently led a team effort to develop ...
Phys.org / Water activates hidden aluminum sites to enhance zeolite catalysis
Researchers from the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology (APM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found that water can activate previously "NMR-invisible" aluminum in ultra-stable Y (USY) ...
Phys.org / Lung cells generated from mouse fibroblasts in just 7 to 10 days without stem cell tech
Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse embryonic fibroblasts without using stem cell technology. The AT2-like cells were generated in just ...
Phys.org / Photon 'time bins' and signal stability show promise for practical quantum communication via fiber optics
Researchers at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) in Jena, Germany, together with international collaborators, have developed two complementary methods that could make quantum communication via fiber ...
Phys.org / Destabilizing microtubules to boost platelet production from iPS cell-derived megakaryocytes
A collaborative research team led by Dr. Thorsten Schlaeger (Boston Children's Hospital) Emiri Nakamura and Professor Koji Eto (Department of Clinical Application) has identified microtubule (MT) destabilization as a promising ...
Phys.org / Coherent, not chaotic—surprising order found in Brahmaputra-Jamuna River channel migration
Compared to single-channel meandering rivers, multichannel braided rivers are often found in environments with sparse vegetation and coarse, shifting bars of sediment. Past research has called the way in which the paths of ...
Medical Xpress / Antibody sIgM emerges as a key guardian of gut health and metabolism
A pioneering new study published in Nature Microbiology, led by J. Oriol Sunyer, professor of immunology and pathobiology at the School of Veterinary Medicine, and a team of researchers at Penn Vet and the University of New ...
Medical Xpress / AI predicts patients likely to die of sudden cardiac arrest
A new AI model is much better than doctors at identifying patients likely to experience cardiac arrest. The linchpin is the system's ability to analyze long-underused heart imaging, alongside a full spectrum of medical records, ...
