Medical Xpress / Chasing a winning streak: A new way to trigger responses in the body by simulating psychological pressure
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed an experimental method to induce a strong physiological response linked to psychological pressure by making participants aim for a streak of success in a task.
Phys.org / Early Triassic sediments reveal Earth's hidden wildfire past
An international team of scientists, including a senior researcher at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, has uncovered new evidence of ancient wildfires that reshapes our understanding of Earth's turbulent Early ...
Phys.org / Seal mothers care for deceased pups, exhibiting unique mammalian behavior in Antarctic predator species
A new paper by University of Rhode Island post-doctoral researchers Emily Sperou and Renato Borras-Chavez published in the journal Polar Biology discusses a unique phenomenon observed in a reclusive Antarctic animal: postmortem ...
Phys.org / Working with local communities to manage green spaces could help biodiversity crisis
Helping communities manage green spaces by understanding how they use and value the area could be an effective way for local governments to tackle the biodiversity crisis, according to a new study from the University of Exeter.
Phys.org / Scientists directly observe diffusion behavior within individual nanostructures
In recent years, organic semiconductor materials have attracted considerable attention as key components for next-generation photoenergy conversion devices and organic solar cells due to their light weight and mechanical ...
Phys.org / Ultracold potassium-cesium molecules assembled in absolute ground state
Researchers from Hanns-Christoph Nägerl's group have produced the world's first ultracold KCs molecules in their absolute ground state. Starting by mixing clouds of potassium and cesium atoms cooled almost to absolute zero ...
Phys.org / Ancient condors thrived on Peru's northern coast before retreating to the highlands, study reveals
In a recent study, Dr. Weronika Tomczyk and her colleagues conducted a zooarchaeological and isotopic study of ancient Andean condor bones from an archaeological site Castillo de Huarmey, providing the first and earliest ...
Phys.org / Bacteriophages: The hidden facilitators in kimchi fermentation
The World Institute of Kimchi has confirmed in a new study that bacteriophages, which were previously considered a "nuisance" during the process of food fermentation, actually play the role of key helpers that facilitate ...
Medical Xpress / Neural 'barcodes': Intra-regional brain dynamics linked to person-specific characteristics
People can think, behave and function very differently. These observed differences are known to be the result of complex interactions between genetics, neurobiological processes and life experiences.
Phys.org / Chinese team finds a fern that makes rare earth elements
Scientists have discovered a fern from South China that naturally forms tiny crystals containing rare earth elements (REEs). This breakthrough opens the door to a promising new way of "green mining" of these minerals called ...
Phys.org / Lead-free alternative discovered for essential electronics component
Ferroelectric materials are used in infrared cameras, medical ultrasounds, computer memory and actuators that turn electric properties into mechanical properties and vice-versa. Most of these essential materials, however, ...
Medical Xpress / NIH grant terminations leave thousands without access to care, study finds
Thousands of clinical trial participants lost access to important medical studies this year after the Trump administration terminated hundreds of National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants, according to new research published ...
