When surgeons remove patients’ kidney stones, they typically leave behind small stones that appear not to be causing problems. However, a new randomized controlled study has shown that leaving these asymptomatic stones behind significantly increases th…
Engineers have developed a method to increase wind farms’ energy output. Whereas individual turbines are typically controlled separately, the new approach models the wind flow of the entire collection of turbines and optimizes the control of individual…
Researchers have genetically sequenced carotid plaque tissue collected from patients within days after a stroke. When compared to stable plaque, researchers discovered the tissues from recent stroke victims contained messenger RNA that can cause inflam…
Researchers have developed a new cardiac cell-derived platform that closely mimics the human heart, unlocking potential for more thorough preclinical drug development and testing, and better modeling for cardiac diseases.
Large dinosaur predators, such as Tyrannosaurus rex, evolved different shapes of eye sockets to better deal with high bite forces, new research has shown.
The star Betelgeuse appears as a brilliant, ruby-red, twinkling spot of light in the upper right shoulder of the winter constellation Orion the Hunter. But when viewed close up, astronomers know it as a seething monster with a 400-day-long heartbeat of…
By flying with hawkmoths during migration, scientists reveal the insects employ sophisticated flight strategies similar to vertebrates
The evolution of the human larynx contributed to the stable voices we use to communicate. The morphological changes do not include the addition of structures but rather the loss of specific vocal folds or cords in the larynx, providing a stable voice q…
Harvested wood products in residential structures will continue to increase carbon storage for the next 50 years, according to a new study.
Researchers have discovered that the electrical stimulation of the eye surface can alleviate depression-like symptoms and improve cognitive function in animal models.
Researchers have demonstrated that ZCB11, a broadly neutralizing antibody derived from a local mRNA-vaccinee against the spreading Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2, displays potent antiviral activities against all variants of concern (VOCs), including th…
A research team has developed a sensing technology that can detect whether a substance was exposed to light using metahologram.
For birds that inhabit developed areas of the Pacific Northwest, the reduction in noise and commotion from COVID-19 lockdowns may have allowed them to use a wider range of habitats in cities, a new study finds.
A fundamental discovery about a driver of healthy development in embryos could rewrite our understanding of what can be inherited from our parents and how their life experiences may shape us.
Researchers say that an experimental dendrimer nanoparticle treatment called OP-101 substantially reduced the risk of death and need for a ventilator in a study of 24 severely ill adults hospitalized with COVID-19.
Whether networks with a high level of cooperation emerge in a community depends on how quickly individuals leave — for example, because they are exploited by others. Researchers investigated this problem by modeling a well-known cooperation game. They…
A new analysis by education researchers reveals best practices and challenges for online K-12 education.
Findings from a new study offer a new potential method for cleaning wastewater after use by textiles, cosmetics or other industries.
Researchers had a solution, but they also had a problem. They had created a novel and highly promising material to improve the success of vascular grafts, but they needed a better way to test how well it worked.
Compelling new research challenges the deeply ingrained idea that diet alone should be adequate for everyone seeking to shed pounds. A new rigorous study has the potential to help reshape the science of weight-loss programs so they can be personalized …
