Medical Xpress / A simple energy molecule gives female mice a memory boost
A team of scientists from the U.S. has discovered that acetate, a simple molecule involved in how our bodies create energy, can significantly increase long-term memory in female mice. The researchers were looking for a direct ...
Phys.org / Genetic discovery could lead to faster growing duckweed
Duckweed is the fastest-growing flowering plant, but new knowledge of duckweed genetics discovered by Adelaide University researchers could lead to even faster growing rates. The research team, led by Professor Nikolai Borisjuk ...
Phys.org / Russian astronomers observe the eruptive behavior of a young star
Russian astronomers from Moscow State University have performed photometric, polarimetric, and spectroscopic observations of a young star designated IRAS 21204+4913. Results of the new observations, which were published February ...
Phys.org / AI toolkit turns microscopy images into multi-feature microstructure datasets
A research team from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed GrainBot, an AI-enabled toolkit that automatically extracts and quantifies multiple microstructural features from microscopy images. ...
Phys.org / Filamentous cyanobacteria exhibit a unique navigation strategy due to their chiral gliding
Cyanobacteria are among the most significant life forms in the history of our planet. As one of the first organisms to produce oxygen through photosynthesis, they shaped early Earth and created the atmosphere in which complex ...
Medical Xpress / Changing the past in your imagination: Working with memories can reduce fear of failure
Certain imagery-based techniques can reduce the fear of failure that results from difficult childhood memories, according to research by scientists from SWPS University and the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology. The ...
Phys.org / We may be underestimating the true carbon cost of northern wildfires
Wildfires in the northern boreal forests of Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Russia may be more damaging to the climate than previously thought, a new UC Berkeley-led study suggests. That's because these fires don't just ...
Phys.org / First plesiosaurian fossil discovered in Algeria fills a Cretaceous gap
In a study published in Historical Biology, Dr. Mohammed Naimi and his colleagues report the discovery of the first plesiosaurian remains from Algeria. Additionally, the fossil, dated to the Late Coniacian, is one of only ...
Medical Xpress / Drug that targets immune cells shows potential as new treatment for diabetic heart disease
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have found that a medication originally developed for glycemic control can reverse serious heart damage—not by controlling blood sugar as originally intended, but by retraining ...
Phys.org / Putting sports stats to the test: Unpredictable play helps pick a winner in soccer
A comprehensive game plan and strategic tactics are critical to winning soccer, but how much does a team's unpredictability in moving the soccer ball around the pitch matter? In a new article published in PLOS One, an international ...
Medical Xpress / Testosterone increases severity of bacterial skin infections, researchers discover
Men are more susceptible than women to skin infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, but the biological basis for this disparity has remained unclear. A new study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers ...
Phys.org / DOE climate report 'demonstrably incorrect', say scientists in new analysis
A leading climate scientist has sought to set the record straight over "demonstrably incorrect" claims made in a major U.S. government report that misrepresented his work and downplayed the role of human activity in global ...
