For The Better

Goffin’s cockatoos have been added to the short list of non-human animals that use and transport toolsets. Researchers show that the cockatoos carry multiple tools to their worksite when the job calls for it. This behavior has only been previously repo…

There is currently less sea ice in the Antarctic than at any time in the forty years since the beginning of satellite observation: in early February 2023, only 2.20 million square kilometers of the Southern Ocean were covered with sea ice.

Researchers have discovered the active compound from an edible mushroom that boosts nerve growth and enhances memory.

Using a new method ‘Terahertz (THz) calorimetry’, a research team shed new light on the spontaneous phase separation into a protein-rich and a protein-poor phase in a solution. It is assumed that the protein-rich droplets promote the formation of neuro…

Scientists have demonstrated that fish think ‘it’s me’ when they see themselves in a picture. The researchers found that the determining factor was not the fish seeing their own body but seeing their face.

Researchers have discovered a new neurological condition characterized by issues with motor coordination and speech.

Existing data are too biased to provide a reliable picture of the global average of local species richness trends.

Over 600 CTE cases have been published in the literature from multiple international research groups. And of those over 600 cases, 97 percent have confirmed exposure to RHI, primarily through contact and collision sports. CTE has been diagnosed in amat…

A team of scientists has discovered a new abiotic pathway for the formation of peptide chains from amino acids — a key chemical step in the origin of life. The current study provides strong evidence that this crucial step for the emergence of life can…

Monkeyflowers glow in a rich assortment of colors, from yellow to pink to deep red-orange. But about 5 million years ago, some of them lost their yellow. Botanists now explain what happened genetically to jettison the yellow pigment, and the implicatio…

Humans are artificially expanding cities’ coastlines by extending industrial ports and creating luxury residential waterfronts. Developers have added over 2,350 square kilometers of land (900 square miles, or about 40 Manhattans) to coastlines in major…

Controlling the size, shape and crystallographic orientation of single crystals is vital to exploit the desired properties.
