Mindfully Curated
Sometimes, the most complex problems can be solved with the simplest approaches. Such was the case for researchers as they tried to resolve a longstanding issue of fluid friction — the resistance between an object moving through fluid, or conversely, …
Researchers have used single carbon atom doping to form four chemical bonds in one step. Gamma-lactams (cyclic molecules that are common in antibiotics) were easily synthetically accessible from alpha, beta-unsaturated amides (an important molecule in …

An international team of researchers has developed a technique that uses liquid metal to create an elastic material that is impervious to both gases and liquids. Applications for the material include use as packaging for high-value technologies that re…

Trapped ions have previously only been entangled in one and the same laboratory. Now, teams have entangled two ions over a distance of 230 meters. The nodes of this network were housed in two labs at the Campus Technik to the west of Innsbruck, Austria…
Humans are less forgiving of robots after multiple mistakes — and the trust is difficult to get back, according to a new study.

Study shows just one quality conversation with a friend during the day makes you happier and less stressed by day’s end.
New data analyses indicate that previous models systematically underestimate how sensitively water availability reacts to certain changing climate parameters. An analysis of measurement data from over 9,500 hydrological catchments from all over the wor…

Small isolated wetlands that are full for only part of the year are often the first to be removed for development or agriculture, but a new study shows that they can be twice as effective in protecting downstream lake or river ecosystems than if they w…

Trees living in conditions where the carbon dioxide (CO2) has been artificially elevated are likely to become more efficient in conserving water.
Coronary artery disease is the most common form of heart disease, affecting more than 20 million Americans. It’s estimated to be responsible for 1 in 4 deaths in the United States each year. The new gene discovery opens the door to better treatments.
Astronomers have directly measured the mass of a single, isolated white dwarf — the surviving core of a burned-out, Sun-like star. Researchers found that the white dwarf is 56 percent the mass of our Sun. This agrees with earlier theoretical predictio…
Researchers show that brain organoids — clumps of lab-grown neurons — can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual stimulation like flashing lights.
Researchers found that alterations in the gut microbiome that are linked to graft-versus-host disease severity are connected to an increase in oxygen levels in the intestine that follows immune-mediated intestinal damage. Pharmacologically reducing int…
