Researchers say they have added to evidence that the compound farnesol, found naturally in herbs, and berries and other fruits, prevents and reverses brain damage linked to Parkinson’s disease in mouse studies.
Children whose parents regularly smoke or vape marijuana may experience viral respiratory infections, such as the common cold, more frequently than those whose parents do not smoke, according to a new study.
Caecilians have arrived in Miami. Florida Fish and Wildlife officers captured one of the obscure legless amphibians in the Tamiami Canal, the first example of an introduced caecilian in the U.S.
Matrix, process, or something else? The structure of an organization is of little significance for its success, as long as there is systems intelligence, according to a new study.
Researchers have developed nanobodies that efficiently block the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and its new variants.
Dark mode is unlikely to make a big difference to battery life with the way that most people use their phones on a daily basis, says a new study. That doesn’t mean that dark mode can’t be helpful, though.
By combining quantum theory and thermodynamics, it is possible to design a new kind of atomic refrigerator, which can cool down extremely cold Bose-Einstein-condensates even further.
What is the best option for individual water consumption if we take into account both health and environmental impacts? The answer to that question, according to a new study is that, at least in the city of Barcelona, tap water is the option that offer…
Researchers have shown ‘gene drive’ technology, which spreads a genetic modification blocking female reproduction, works in natural-like settings.
Generating mechanical motion in crystals using light or heat has increasingly become the focus of materials scientists. However, the conventional mechanism employed for the purpose produces slow responses and is ineffective for thick crystals. Now, in …
A new study provides foundational information about SARS-CoV-2’s spike protein.
A new study provides foundational information about SARS-CoV-2’s spike protein.
A combination of a once-debunked 19th-century identification of a water-carrying iron mineral and the fact that these rocks are extremely common on Earth, suggests the existence of a substantial water reservoir on Mars, according to a team of geoscient…
Hydrogen fuel derived from the sea could be an abundant and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, but the potential power source has been limited by technical challenges, including how to practically harvest it. Researchers have designed a nanoscale…
Twenty-six subjects from a cohort of 80 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 via nasopharyngeal swab, and all 26 tested positive using gargle lavage (mouthwash), according to new research.
Researchers have discovered new dynamics that could supercharge a sluggish part of the core chemical reaction in fuel cells.
New research finds that sexual reproduction and multicellularity drive diversity among different species.
The interdisciplinary team’s work could allow scientists to accelerate the rate of discovery and study of materials that exhibit a metal-insulator transition.
A new study tackles one of the oldest questions in the history of the planet: How did living organisms get so big?
Chaos, to a point: A new study confirms the chaotic behavior of electrons in ‘strange’ metals has a limit established by the laws of quantum mechanics.
