Researchers have discovered another functional autoantibody in COVID-19 patients that contributes to the disease’s development and the ‘firestorm’ of blood clots and inflammation it induces. The autoantibody makes it much harder for the body to degrade…
A new approach to analyse satellite measurements of Earth’s cloud cover reveals that clouds are very likely to enhance global heating.
By uprooting carbon trapped in soil, wild pigs are releasing around 4.9 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide annually across the globe, the equivalent of 1.1 million cars, according to new research.
New research has found marine seismic surveys used in oil and gas exploration are not impacting the abundance or behaviour of commercially valuable fishes in the tropical shelf environment in north-western Australia.
Scientists are developing a low-cost, practical biopolymer dressing that helps heal chronic wounds.
Parenting deficiencies have long been blamed for the vocabulary gap between low-income children and their more affluent peers. But new research implicates the economic context in which parenting takes place — in other words, the wealth gap.
Researchers discover a signaling protein that controls the assembly of human cellular ‘power plants’.
The second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine induces a powerful boost to a part of the immune system that provides broad antiviral protection, according to a new study.
A new study shows how biometric data can be used to find potentially challenging and dangerous areas of urban infrastructure. By analyzing eye-tracking data from cyclists navigating Philadelphia’s streets, researchers found that these individual-based …
When it comes to making eggs, female flies and female humans are surprisingly similar. And that could be a boon for women seeking better birth control methods, a researcher reports.
New research shows that modelling hyperspectral- and thermal-based plant traits can help in the early detection of Phytophthora-induced symptoms in oak decline.
A team of researchers has developed novel approaches using computer vision and deep learning to resolve the problem of low-level vision in videos caused by rain and night-time conditions, as well as improve the accuracy of 3D human pose estimation in v…
A potentially game-changing treatment for people with, or at risk of, blood clots has been found effective by an international team of researchers.
CT scans for patients with concussion provide critical information about their risk for long-term impairment and potential to make a complete recovery – findings that underscore the need for physician follow-up.
Astronomers have imaged the heart of the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A in unprecedented detail.
Researchers have found that when fruit bats forage in the city (Tel Aviv), they are much more exploratory and enjoy the diversity of urban life, visiting a variety of fruit trees every night and tasting as wide a variety of foods as possible. In contra…
Researchers have adapted deep learning techniques in a multi-object tracking framework, overcoming short-term occlusion and achieving remarkable performance without sacrificing computational speed.
The carbon-hydrogen bonds in alkanes — particularly those at the ends of the molecules, where each carbon has three hydrogen atoms bound to it — are very hard to ‘crack’ if you want to replace the hydrogen atoms with other atoms. Methane (CH(4)) and …
Some COVID-19 patients who experience acute respiratory failure respond by significantly increasing their respiratory effort — breathing faster and more deeply. There is concern among some doctors that this level of respiratory effort can lead to furt…
The final stage of cataclysmic explosions of dying massive stars, called supernovae, could pack an up to six times bigger punch on the surrounding interstellar gas with the help of cosmic rays, according to a new study.
