Medical Xpress / Gene behind delayed, softer teeth found in zebrafish study
A research team at the Korea University College of Medicine has uncovered a genetic mechanism responsible for delayed tooth development and impaired mineralization. The team, led by Professor Hae-chul Park (Department of ...
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 ...
Phys.org / Hafted stone tools in China suggest early hominins were more inventive than thought
A newly excavated archaeological site in central China is reshaping long-held assumptions about early hominin behavior in Eastern Asia. Led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, an international team of researchers conducted ...
Phys.org / Artificial nighttime lighting is suppressing moth activity, new research shows
Moths move significantly less when exposed to artificial nighttime light, new research shows. Moths' attraction to artificial light, such as streetlights, is common knowledge and has been much studied. But, as many people ...
Phys.org / Study links social class origins to lower wage goals in job search
A college degree is supposed to be the great equalizer in the labor market, promising upward mobility and better pay for all. But a new study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology suggests how family background shapes ...
Phys.org / Particle permutation task can be tackled by quantum but not classical computers, study finds
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, are expected to outperform classical computers on some complex tasks. Over the past few decades, many physicists and quantum engineers ...
Phys.org / On the nose: Reddit users report self-image struggles after years of exposure to Eurocentric beauty standards online
New Edith Cowan University (ECU) research has explored how facial filters, pop culture and centuries-old stereotypes are shaping how people see their faces. The study investigated the way the nose is represented on social ...
Tech Xplore / Swarms of mini robots that 'bloom' could lead to adaptive architecture
Nature is, of course, the master engineer—been there, seen it, solved it. While we struggle to design buildings that don't overheat or feel like concrete cages, nature has been perfecting comfortable living structures for ...
Phys.org / What is extremism, and how do we decide?
As controversy over Australia's new hate laws continues, last weekend's so-called March for Australia rallies were the latest in a string of events that have raised the temperature of public debate.
Medical Xpress / Half of trans people pay for gender affirming surgery themselves
One in three people in Norway (32.5%) who have started hormone treatment, and half (49.5%) of those who have undergone gender affirming surgery, have obtained treatment entirely through private funding. That is the findings ...
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 / Streaks on Mercury show that it is not a 'dead planet'
Although Mercury was geologically active in its early days, today its surface appears almost completely static. This is why it is often perceived as a dead and dry planet. A new study led by Dr. Valentin Bickel from the Center ...
