Phys.org / Expanded MAGIC toolkit makes genome-wide single-cell mosaic analysis possible in Drosophila
Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful new genetic toolkit that allows scientists to study how genes function at the level of individual cells, an advance that could accelerate discoveries in development, ...
Tech Xplore / Sonar on stock smartwatches leads to hand-tracking advancement
Imagine tapping your thumb and index finger together twice to skip to the next song or clicking around your laptop or desktop computer without a mouse, using discreet finger motions. New first-of-its-kind wearable technology ...
Phys.org / Mutant clownfish reveals how nature draws boundaries
In 1999, a clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) hatched in the aquarium of a tropical fish hobbyist in the UK. These clownfish are prized by aquarists for their unique pattern of three straight white bars bordered by a thin black ...
Phys.org / Structural color can now be printed with an inkjet printer
While traditional printer pigments fade and most structural color can't be printed, Kobe University material engineer Sugimoto Hiroshi has been working on nothing short of a revolution in the way color is produced.
Phys.org / By age 7, most children quickly spot individuals' social biases toward social groups, study finds
Most elementary school-aged children have a surprising cognitive ability: they can detect—nearly as well as adults—when someone treats people from one social group differently than another. The study, "Children's and adults' ...
Phys.org / New York Bight is a key spring habitat for endangered sei whales, research reveals
A new study led by scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) reveals that endangered sei whales regularly use the New York Bight as a key spring habitat, underscoring ...
Tech Xplore / Explainability is a must for older adults to trust AI, study shows
Voice-activated, conversational artificial intelligence (AI) agents must provide clear explanations for their suggestions, or older adults aren't likely to trust them. That's one of the main findings from a study by AI Caring ...
Tech Xplore / High-entropy design achieves 3-fold increase in hydrogen production
While mixing materials typically leads to instability, there exists a phenomenon known as high entropy, where increasing compositional complexity can actually enhance stability. KAIST researchers have leveraged this principle ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds hunger hit mental health harder than job loss amid COVID-19 pandemic
Not having enough food may have had a greater negative effect on mental health in the United States than unemployment or loss of income during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study led by Penn State researchers. The ...

Phys.org / If life exists in Venus's atmosphere, it could have come from Earth
The theory of panspermia holds that life is spread through the cosmos via asteroids, comets, and other objects. When the building blocks of life emerge on one planet, impacts can eject surface material into space, which then ...
Phys.org / A secret odorant code patches a problematic relationship between pollinators and flowers
A plant uses a rare scent to guide its pollinator to male flowers first and to female flowers later, finds a study led by Kobe University. The work, appearing in Current Biology, uncovers a precise chemical system that not ...
