Medical Xpress / Research reveals how the brain turns experience into memory—with help from a tiny protein
Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the Stowers Institute has identified the mechanism that makes a fleeting moment unforgettable. In a study ...
Phys.org / Study shows the hominid population of Sima de los Huesos had a varied diet
Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH) have led a study, recently published in the Journal of Human Evolution, on the diet of individuals at the Sima de los Huesos site (Sierra ...
Phys.org / New fear unlocked: Runaway black holes
Last year, astronomers were fascinated by a runaway asteroid passing through our solar system from somewhere far beyond. It was moving at around 68 kilometers per second, just over double Earth's speed around the sun.
Medical Xpress / Sewage monitoring uncovers 'invisible' COVID-19 cases missed by testing
As COVID-19 testing becomes less routine, official case numbers can make outbreaks look smaller than they really are. A research team led by Professor Michio Murakami has now shown that wastewater surveillance can uncover ...
Phys.org / Bacteria use wrapping flagella to tunnel through microscopic passages, research reveals
Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella around their bodies and moving forward. Using a microfluidic device that mimics insect gut channels, ...
Phys.org / Sloshing liquefied natural gas in cargo tanks causes higher impact forces than expected
What happens if liquefied natural gas (LNG) hits the wall of the cargo tanks in a ship? New research from the team of physicist Devaraj van der Meer from the University of Twente, published in the Proceedings of the National ...
Medical Xpress / Glowing bacterial sensors detect gut illness in mice before symptoms emerge
University of British Columbia researchers have engineered gut bacteria that dim their fluorescent glow in the presence of illness. Their findings could improve how we diagnose problems in the gut by using bacteria that already ...
Tech Xplore / America is falling behind in the global EV race. That's going to cost the US auto industry
At the 2026 Detroit Auto Show, the spotlight quietly shifted. Electric vehicles, once framed as the inevitable future of the industry, were no longer the centerpiece. Instead, automakers emphasized hybrids, updated gasoline ...
Phys.org / How defects make permanent magnets even more efficient
Rare-earth magnets are essential for electric motors in vehicles, drones, and trains, forming the backbone of modern, environmentally friendly mobility. These are not simple blocks of metal, but carefully engineered materials ...
Phys.org / Prototype cassettes mark key step toward new CMS high-granularity calorimeter
In beehives on the CERN site, a buzzing team of bees collaborates to build hexagon after hexagon of honeycomb—a shape that allows the most honey for a given amount of beeswax to be stored. Working nearby, a team of similarly ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers identify genetic blueprint of mania in bipolar disorder
For the first time, researchers at King's College London and the University of Florence have identified the specific genetic blueprint of mania, the defining feature of bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is one of the most ...
Medical Xpress / A curiosity-driven journey toward understanding brain folding
The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are a visual icon for intelligence itself. Peeling back the layers of this fundamental biological process ...
