Medical Xpress / Review of 153 studies links youth media use to later mental health risks
Children and teenagers who spend more time on digital media are more likely to experience mental health, behavioral and academic difficulties later on, according to a major international review published in JAMA Pediatrics. ...
Phys.org / Cockroaches that eat each other's wings become exclusive partners
Scientists have discovered that, far from being solitary insects, some cockroaches appear to form an exclusive bond with a partner. And how do they get this relationship off the ground? By eating each other's wings.
Phys.org / Modernization can increase differences between cultures
Does modernization—economic growth, technological advancement, globalization, increased education, and urbanization—reduce cultural differences? Conventional wisdom suggests that as nations get richer and more educated, ...
Phys.org / New peptide catalyst enables stereoselective head-to-tail macrocycle synthesis
A team at ETH Zurich developed a new peptide-based organocatalyst that handles macrocycle formation from start to finish. Macrocyclic compounds are ubiquitous both in nature and in the chemical industrial setup. They are ...
Medical Xpress / Detecting Alzheimer's with DNA aptamers—new tool for an easy blood test
With aging populations on the rise, the need for better tools to diagnose and monitor Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, has never been more urgent. This disease is characterized by the gradual loss ...
Phys.org / Stars like our sun may maintain the same rotation pattern for life, contrary to 45 years of theoretical predictions
Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have conducted the most detailed simulation of the interior of stars and disproved a theory scientists have believed for 45 years: that stars switch their rotation patterns as they ...
Phys.org / Heat-tolerant corals may help some reefs persist, but most still erode
A recent report on global tipping points warned that coral reefs face widespread dieback and have reached a point from which they cannot recover.
Phys.org / Study reveals new technique to identify individual night-flying birds for the first time
Millions of birds invisibly migrate through the night sky each autumn, most flying in near silence toward their wintering grounds. Now, scientists have developed a way to see and identify many of those birds for the first ...
Phys.org / Researchers track mineral growth on bioorganic coatings in real time at nanoscale
Materials that encourage mineralization, mimicking the process in the human body, are becoming increasingly important in medicine and technology. This process, which occurs at the interface between inorganic materials and ...
Tech Xplore / French AI startup AMI announces $1 bn raised in funding
French artificial intelligence startup AMI, co-founded by Meta's former chief AI scientist Yann LeCun, announced Tuesday it has raised $1 billion to develop models able to understand the physical world.
Medical Xpress / Tubulin prevents toxic protein clumps in the brain, fighting back against neurodegeneration
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a potential new strategy to fight back against Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, conditions that are linked to the toxic accumulation of Tau and alpha synuclein ...
Phys.org / Simultaneously decoding the transcriptome, epigenome and 3D genome within a single cell
The origin of many diseases begins at the cellular level and involves multiple molecular interactions. However, previous methods have struggled to accurately observe changes in individual cells. Analyzing average values across ...
