By temporarily suspending retinal activity in the non-amblyopic eye of animal models, neuroscientists restrengthened the visual response in the amblyopic eye, even at ages after the critical period when patch therapy fails.
A nationwide survey of hospitals has revealed a wide variety of approaches to newborn skincare — including the timing of the first bath — that could ultimately have lasting effects on a baby’s health and wellbeing.
Have you ever met someone you instantly liked, or at other times, someone who you knew immediately that you did not want to be friends with, although you did not know why? Now, a new study suggests that there may be a biological basis behind this insta…
Watercoolers have become a staple in homes, offices and schools, but their tanks and parts are made of materials that could release unwanted or potentially harmful compounds into drinking water. In a preliminary study, researchers report that organopho…
Teenagers from California’s Salinas Valley worked alongside scientists on research showing that switching to green cleaning products can reduce users’ exposure to a variety of toxic chemicals. The high school team also created a series of animated publ…
There is a clear link between taking antibiotics and an increased risk of developing colon cancer within the next five to ten years. This has been confirmed after a study of 40,000 cancer cases. The impact of antibiotics on the intestinal microbiome is…
A new assessment of flood risk in Venice indicates that the impact of higher emissions on relative sea level rise during this century will be critical in planning future defense infrastructure for Venice and other coastal cities.
A study compared dogs’ spontaneous reactions to intentional and unintentional human behavior and found that dogs reacted differently depending on the condition.
The built-in tools of ants have been imaged in atomic detail for the first time by materials scientists.
A new study has revealed that biotechnology could be the missing ingredient in helping cocoa farmers get a better deal for their beans.
Rare earth elements are finding their way into Colorado water supplies, driven by changes in climate, finds new research.
A new study explains the science behind microscale concave interfaces (MCI) — structures that reflect light to produce beautiful and potentially useful optical phenomena. Future applications of these effects could include aiding autonomous vehicles in…
B-SOiD is an open source, unsupervised algorithm that can discover and identify behaviors without user input.
Laboratory and retrospective analyses suggest that MMR and Tdap memory T cells are activated by SARS-CoV-2 and decrease COVID-19 severity.
A new family of materials that could result in improved digital information storage and uses less energy may be possible thanks to a team of researchers who demonstrated ferroelectricity in magnesium-substituted zinc oxide.
A research team investigated whether electrical therapy, coupled with exercise, would show promise in treating tendon disease or ruptures. They found that tendon cell function and repair can be controlled through electrical stimulation from an implanta…
Researchers have developed a blood test that, they believe, could one day offer a highly sensitive and inexpensive approach to detect cancer early in people with NF1. The blood test could also help doctors monitor how well patients are responding to tr…
