Most theories claim the Moon formed out of the debris of a collision between the Earth and an object about the size of Mars, called Theia, coalescing in orbit over months or years. A new simulation puts forth a different theory — the Moon may have for…
A new study shows that targeted cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can significantly lessen food allergy-related anxiety (FAA) for both children and parents.
In one of the largest single-center COVID-19 cohort studies to date, researchers have identified a key driver of COVID-19 disease severity. The findings suggest that lung damage is linked to the loss of immune cells called macrophages that normally res…
Newly discovered biological changes in mothers who suffer postpartum depression may help explain the condition, yield long-sought treatments and let doctors identify those at risk even before their babies are born.
A newly developed model can accurately predict how stay-at-home orders like those put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic affect the mental health of people with chronic neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis. Researchers gathered data fro…
Scientists have successfully modeled the formation of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that spreads COVID-19. The research offers an overall understanding of the assembly and formation of SARS-CoV-2 from its constituent components.
A study provides experimental evidence of an association between a variant in MTSS2 gene and a novel neurological disorder in humans.
A new study shows that in China, wearing masks for health reasons tends to influence people to follow rules and norms more generally.
Robotics and wearable devices might soon get a little smarter with the addition of a stretchy, wearable synaptic transistor. The device works like neurons in the brain to send signals to some cells and inhibit others in order to enhance and weaken the …
A new study provides a novel framework for identifying broad coral disease resistance traits and examines the fundamental processes behind species survival.
Researchers have developed a new satellite tag that allows them to better track whales’ behavior, including previously unobservable feeding events during dives.
Neutron scattering is considered the method of choice for investigating magnetic structures and excitations in quantum materials. Now, for the first time, the evaluation of measurement data from the 2000s with new methods has provided much deeper insig…
A study has used a multidisciplinary high-throughput functional genomics approach to identify and functionally validate dozens of genes that could cause or protect against Parkinson’s disease.
A new study finds enhanced activity of a specific enzyme drives spinocerebellar ataxia type 14, which suggests inhibiting the enzyme may have therapeutic potential.
The world’s whitest paint is now thinner and lighter than ever before. This makes it ideal for cooling vehicles like airplanes or cars, which reduces the reliance on air conditioning.
