Mindfully Curated
The mental distress of cognitive dissonance — encountering information that conflicts with how we act or what we believe — can lead to added pressure on the neck and low back during lifting and lowering tasks, new research suggests.
The Midwestern United States has lost 57.6 billion tons of topsoil due to farming practices over the past 160 years, and the rate of erosion, even following the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s guidelines, is still 25 times higher than the rate at whic…

Scientists have developed a nanodevice that can measure the absolute power of microwave radiation down to the femtowatt level at ultra-low temperatures — a scale trillion times lower than routinely used in verifiable power measurements. The device has…

Some of nature’s most diverse pollinators often go unnoticed, even by scientists: long-snouted beetles called weevils. A new study provides a deep dive into the more than 600 species of weevils, including ones whose entire life cycles are interwoven wi…

One researcher says we should look beyond the hype to see how virtual reality can make scientists more effective. But to realize the benefits, researchers must also plan well and avoid potential pitfalls.
A new study suggests iron-rich ancient sediments may have helped cause some of the largest volcanic events in the planet’s history.
A new study provides novel insight into the benefits of exercise, which should motivate adults to keep moving throughout their lifetime, especially during middle age. Long-term exercise profoundly benefits the aging brain and may prevent aging-related …
Scientists have made a significant advancement with quantum technologies that could transform complex systems modelling with an accurate and effective approach that requires significantly re-duced memory.
Regular walks strengthen connections in and between brain networks, according to new research, adding to growing evidence linking exercise with slowing the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. The study examined the brains and story recollection abilities of …
There is a massive, mineral-rich region in the Pacific Ocean — about twice the size of India — called the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), which has already been divided up and assigned to companies for future deep-sea mining. To better understand what…
By comparing the structures of protein complexes from different lineages of the dangerous Lassa virus, a team identified new antibodies and vaccine targets.
Animals using the most of efficient methods of searching for resources may well pay with their lives, scientists have discovered.

The effects of the ground on propeller noise have now been measured experimentally.
A hormone and specialized brain cells regulate feeding behavior in mice.
Researchers have discovered that the oldest-old, those who live to be 90+ and have superior cognitive skills, have similar levels of brain pathology as Alzheimer’s patients, however, they also have less brain pathology of other neurodegenerative diseas…
Scientists studied how the epigenetic landscape influences the binding of pioneer transcription factors, affecting access to DNA.
