Phys.org / 'Stick and glue' method enables more precise biomolecule tracking in cells
A team of researchers at IOCB Prague headed by Dr. Tomáš Slanina has developed a new method for labeling molecules with fluorescent dyes that surpasses existing approaches in both precision and stability. The new fluorescent ...
Medical Xpress / Specific brain activity patterns predict greater control over drinking behavior, study finds
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is among the most widespread substance use disorders (SUDs) worldwide, characterized by an impaired ability to control the intake of alcohol. For many years, psychologists and psychiatrists have ...
Medical Xpress / Prototype device restores lost smell by teaching the brain to feel odors
There is new hope for people who have lost their smell. Scientists have successfully tested a breakthrough device that lets people detect the presence of certain odors. This innovative system helps them "smell" again by translating ...
Tech Xplore / All-solid-state batteries: New findings on space charge effects could improve efficiency
Batteries are found in many devices. The development of solid-state batteries that provide higher working voltage, have a higher capacity, and can no longer burn is the subject of current research. Researchers at the Max ...
Phys.org / Latent antimicrobial resistance is widespread across the world, research discovers
A group of researchers has analyzed 1,240 wastewater samples from 351 cities in 111 different countries and found that bacterial latent antimicrobial resistance is widespread on all the world's continents. The research was ...
Phys.org / Modern life explains why people in Chile are taller and have larger heads than their ancestors
Modern Chileans are significantly taller and have larger heads than their ancestors. That's the central finding of new research looking at how intracranial volume (ICV) has changed across thousands of years in northern Chile. ...
Phys.org / An unusually 'sticky' RNA class that keep cells organized: Researchers discover smOOPs
Inside cells, RNAs and proteins form tiny, liquid-like droplets called biomolecular condensates. These droplets are essential for organizing cellular life, yet why some RNAs cluster more readily than others has remained unclear. ...
Medical Xpress / Bird flu viruses are resistant to fever, making them a major threat to humans
Bird flu viruses are a particular threat to humans because they can replicate at temperatures higher than a typical fever, one of the body's ways of stopping viruses in their tracks, according to new research led by the universities ...
Phys.org / Lake heat waves are more intense, longer-lasting than atmospheric ones, new study reveals
Freshwater lakes are critical ecosystems that regulate regional climates, support biodiversity, and provide essential resources for human societies. However, as global warming accelerates, extreme heat waves are increasingly ...
Medical Xpress / Inhibitory neurons in the amygdala can flexibly shape emotional learning and memory
Neurons that specifically reduce and modulate electrical brain activity have a greater influence on emotional memories than previously thought. DZNE researchers came to this conclusion based on studies in mice. A team led ...
Tech Xplore / Humans and AI models show similar confusion when reading tricky program code
Researchers from Saarland University and the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems have, for the first time, shown that the reactions of humans and large language models (LLMs) to complex or misleading program code significantly ...
Tech Xplore / Robots combine AI learning and control theory to perform advanced movements
When it comes to training robots to perform agile, single-task motor skills, such as handstands or backflips, artificial intelligence methods can be very useful. But if you want to train your robot to perform multiple tasks—say, ...
