Extremely hot years will wipe out hundreds of thousands of tons of fish available for catch in a country’s waters in this century, on top of projected decreases to fish stocks from long-term climate change, a new study predicts. Modelling a worst-case …
Researchers have utilized two-dimensional hybrid metal halides in a device that allows directional control of terahertz radiation generated by a spintronic scheme. The device has better signal efficiency than conventional terahertz generators, and is t…
Researchers have found that aging produces significant changes in the microbiome of the human small intestine distinct from those caused by medications or illness burden.
More than half of U.S. women will experience at least one urinary tract infection (UTI) in their lifetimes, while a quarter will have a subsequent infection. Recurrent urinary tract infections are defined as two or more infections in six months or thre…
A new study looks at how exposure to media content featuring specific moral values (care, fairness, loyalty and authority) might influence the weight kids place on those values. The main study showed that exposure to books emphasizing four separate mor…
Researchers have developed a sensor that could diagnose a heart attack in less than 30 minutes, according to a new study.
A discovery of a new family of enzymes enriches the toolbox needed to engineer sulfur-containing compounds in the laboratory.
A team led by researchers has profiled in unprecedented detail thousands of individual cells sampled from patients’ brain tumors. The findings, along with the methods developed to obtain those findings, represent a significant advance in cancer resear…
COVID-19 may bring high risks of severe disease and death in many patients by disrupting key metabolic signals and thereby triggering hyperglycemia, according to a new study.
New research into metal-rich asteroids reveals information about the origins and compositions of these rare bodies that could one day be mined.
The discovery of genes that directly cause obesity could pave the way for treatments for a condition that affects more than 40% of American adults.
Researchers analyzed idle thoughts for 10 minutes. What they learned may be useful in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues such as depression.
Researchers have shown that high levels of a specific protein circulating in the blood accurately detect a severe type of peripheral artery disease that narrows the arteries in the legs and can raise the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Researchers have shed light on the function of the enzyme SLK for the development of nerve cells in the brain. If it is missing, the neurons’ branches are less abundant. In addition, it is then more difficult to inhibit the activity of the cells. This …
Dunes develop when wind-blown sand organizes into patterns, most often in deserts and arid or semi-arid parts of the world. Every continent on Earth has dune fields, but dunes and dune-like sand patterns are also found across the solar system: on Mars,…
Daily release of hormones depends on the coordinated activity of clocks in two parts of the brain, a finding that could have implications for human diseases.
Medical researchers have reviewed current literature and are recommending a pivotal change in treatment of Type 2 diabetes to focus on obesity first and glucose control second.
Adolescents can speed their recovery after a sport-related concussion and reduce their risk of experiencing protracted recovery if they engage in aerobic exercise within 10 days of getting injured, according to a new study.
Researchers have compared how well different Alzheimer’s biomarkers predict the progression of the disease and its effect on the memory. They found that early accumulation of tau proteins in the brain as measured by PET scanner was more effective at pr…
