Phys.org / Ancient bog growth reveals shifting Southern Hemisphere winds 15,000 years ago
Scientists have revealed that ancient bogs in the Southern Hemisphere hold clues to a major shift in Earth's climate thousands of years ago.
Phys.org / New roles found for STIP1 and Maspin proteins in cell renewal and structure
Two recently published studies led by Brazilian scientists reveal the key roles of multifunctional proteins, STIP1 and Maspin, in vital cellular processes.
Medical Xpress / Vision can be rebooted in adults with amblyopia, study suggests
Temporarily anesthetizing the retina briefly reverts the activity of the visual system to that observed in early development and enables growth of responses to the amblyopic eye, new research shows.
Phys.org / Emerald green degradation in masterpieces: Scientists identify the culprits
An international team of researchers have found what triggers degradation in one of the most popular pigments used by renowned 19th and 20th century painters. Using a multi-method approach, including advanced synchrotron ...
Phys.org / New type of DNA damage discovered in our cells' mitochondria
A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC Riverside-led study are published ...
Phys.org / Improved mapping system ends farm mislabeling, protecting coffee and cacao trade
A new system could overhaul maps that misclassify hundreds of thousands of smallholder coffee and cacao farmers as working in forests. Without better maps, deforestation regulations could ripple through markets from remote ...
Phys.org / Calcite deposit from southern Nevada cave reveals 580,000 years of climate history
Climate history recorded in a calcite deposit in a southern Nevada cave indicates that the hot, arid southwestern United States experienced significant shifts in temperature and rainfall over the last 580,000 years.
Medical Xpress / Asymptomatic carriers revealed: Computer model outperforms traditional contact tracing for drug-resistant infections
A new analytical tool can improve a hospital's ability to limit the spread of antibiotic-resistant infections over traditional methods like contact tracing, according to a new study led by researchers at Columbia University ...
Tech Xplore / Real-world helper exoskeletons come closer to reality with AI training
Georgia Tech researchers are using AI to quickly train exoskeleton devices, making it much more practical to develop, improve, and ultimately deploy wearable robots for people with impaired mobility.
Phys.org / Coaxing bilayer graphene into a single diamond-like layer for industrial applications
Graphene's enduring appeal lies in its remarkable combination of lightness, flexibility, and strength. Now, researchers have shown that under pressure, it can briefly take on the traits of one of its more glamorous carbon ...
Medical Xpress / The future of insulin delivery for diabetes could be through a patch
A compound that enables the delivery of insulin through the skin has been demonstrated in mice and minipigs. The findings, reported in a paper published in Nature, suggest a potential alternative to injection for diabetes ...
Phys.org / Magnetic nanocultures: A tiny lens into the vast world of soil microbes
An estimated 1 trillion species of microorganisms reside on Earth, yet scientists have been able to study less than two percent of them. Because many microorganisms cannot be cultivated in laboratories, researchers at Carnegie ...
