Blind people sense their heartbeats better than sighted
Blind people are better at sensing their own heartbeats than sighted, shows a new study. The study indicates that blindness leads to a heightened ability in feeling signals from the inner body.

Pathogen mapped: Evolution and potential treatments
A parasite which has devastating impacts on agriculture and human health is the first pathogen to have its proteins located and mapped within its cells — providing clues to their function and helping to identify potential drug targets.
Graphene grows — and we can see it
Graphene is the strongest of all materials. On top of that, it is exceptionally good at conducting heat and electrical currents, making it one of the most special and versatile materials we know. For all these reasons, the discovery of graphene was awa…
Time of day matters when it comes to cancer diagnosis and treatment
Your circadian rhythm doesn’t just govern your sleeping schedule; it can also impact cancer development, diagnosis, and treatment. Researchers discuss the role of circadian rhythms in tumor progression and spread and describe how we could better time w…

RNA vaccination in rabbit mothers confers benefits to offspring in the womb
Newly developed mRNA vaccines against Zika virus and HIV-1 produced strong antibody responses that transferred from pregnant rabbits to their offspring, researchers report. As noted by the authors, the results support further development of their vacci…

Dieting: Brain amplifies signal of hunger synapses
Many people who have dieted are familiar with the yo-yo effect: after the diet, the kilos are quickly put back on. Researchers have now shown in mice that communication in the brain changes during a diet: The nerve cells that mediate the feeling of hun…
More predictable renewable energy could lower costs
Lower electricity costs for consumers and more reliable clean energy could be some of the benefits of a new study by researchers who have examined how predictable solar or wind energy generation is and the impact of it on profits in the electricity mar…

Finding the sweet spot in sugar reductions
Putting less sugar in sodas and reducing the package size of sodas sold in supermarkets may help reduce our collective sugar intake and thus lower the associated health risks. Good news for consumers, but how does it affect manufacturers? Research cond…

Giant volcanic ‘chain’ spills secrets on inner workings of volcanoes
Volcanic relics scattered throughout the Australian landscape are a map of the northward movement of the continent over a ‘hotspot’ inside the Earth, during the last 35 million years.

Use age, not weight, to screen for diabetes
Focus on age, not weight, to capture the greatest number of people in all racial and ethnic groups with prediabetes and diabetes, reports a new study. Screening all adults aged 35 to 70 years, regardless of weight, identifies the greatest proportion of…
