Phys.org / Cell membranes may store memories after electrical stimulation
The science of memories has been pursued and studied since the days of ancient Greece and Aristotle. Today, research conducted by Dima Bolmatov, assistant professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Texas Tech University, ...
Tech Xplore / Making big tech algorithms 'fair' is harder than it looks
Before big tech engineers can improve the fairness of recommendation systems, such as social media feeds and online shopping results, they need to define what "fairness" even means. Should an app show people only the content ...
Phys.org / Rye mulch stabilizes vegetable yields—clover living mulch can significantly reduce yields
Results recently published in the journal Plant and Soil by the researchers of the Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ) show that strip tillage combined with rye mulch can maintain stable yields of white ...
Medical Xpress / Quantifying how homeless individuals in the U.S. are impacted by climate change and wildfires
Four recently published studies led by UCLA researchers highlight the role of climate change and displacement on homeless populations across the United States—and that recovery planning should focus on risks to those already ...
Phys.org / Crabs' iconic sideways walk evolved from common ancestor, study suggests
Researchers have provided new insights into the evolutionary origin of sideways walking in crabs. Their study, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, presents the largest comparative dataset on crab locomotion to ...
Phys.org / A laser inspired by black holes: Extreme physics recreated in the lab
Researchers from Bar-Ilan University have successfully recreated key features of black hole physics in a laboratory setting using an innovative optical system that mimics how black holes behave after violent cosmic events ...
Tech Xplore / 'Seeing clearly even in the fog'—a next-generation infrared image sensor for autonomous driving
Infrared sensors that detect the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region can clearly recognize objects not only during the day and at night, but also in fog or smoke, making them a key component of future intelligent technologies ...
Phys.org / Deep-rooted grass stores significantly more carbon, says new study
Soil biologist Eric Slessarev has some advice for conservationists, landscapers, and farmers with fallow fields: Go touch deep-rooted grass. Or better yet, go plant some. Slessarev, an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary ...
Phys.org / Astronomers precisely date rare brown dwarf companion, offering new test for how these objects cool
Astronomers at the University of Hawaiʻi have precisely measured the age of a nearby sun-like star and its unusual companion, known as a brown dwarf, an object that falls between a planet and a star. The discovery offers ...
Medical Xpress / Continuous glucose monitors improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes trial
A major clinical trial has found that real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) significantly improves blood glucose management in adults living with type 2 diabetes who are treated with basal insulin.
Tech Xplore / Cheaper, longer-lasting batteries are closer thanks to a pinch of sodium and a supercomputer
The Expanse supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California School of Computing, Information and Data Sciences has played an important role in helping researchers design the next ...
Medical Xpress / Blood vessels in fat tissue may help drive obesity and type 2 diabetes
Adipose tissue is far more important for our health than many may realize. It does not merely function as an energy store, but as an active tissue that continuously communicates with the rest of the body. This communication ...
