| Classifying exoplanet atmospheres opens new field of study Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:17 AM PDT An international team of researchers examined data for 25 exoplanets and found some links among the properties of the atmospheres, including the thermal profiles and chemical abundances in them. These findings will help establish a generalized theory of planet formation which will improve our understanding of all planets, including the Earth. |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:17 AM PDT Homeowners in Baltimore area neighborhoods where stream restoration would do the most for water quality are far less willing to pay for such projects, than those in other areas, according to a new study. |
| Study suggests early self-awareness of autism leads to better quality of life Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:16 AM PDT People who learn they are autistic when they are younger may have a heightened quality of life and sense of well-being in adulthood, according to a new study. |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:16 AM PDT A multidisciplinary research team has investigated whether Neanderthals were well adapted to life in the cold or preferred more temperate environmental conditions. Based on investigations in Lichtenberg in the Wendland region (Lower Saxony, Germany), the researchers showed that during the last Ice Age, Neanderthals visited their northernmost settlement areas even during cold phases -- albeit more frequently in the summer months. |
| Micronutrients (vitamins + minerals) show benefit for children with ADHD and emotional dysregulation Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:16 AM PDT A study reports that children with ADHD and emotional dysregulation randomized to take a micronutrient formula were three times more likely to show symptomatic improvement on blinded clinician ratings, compared to those in the placebo group (54% versus 18%). The micronutrient formula, consisting of all known vitamins and essential minerals, was administered for eight weeks. |
| A new treatment reduces inflammation in multiple sclerosis mice models Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:16 AM PDT Researchers managed to reduce chronic inflammation associated with multiple sclerosis in mice thanks to the administration of a type of lipid that mediates inflammation. |
| Boys are more demanding than girls before they are born, according to scientists Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:16 AM PDT Finding out the sex of a baby during pregnancy could lead to better life chances, a new study has discovered. Male baby pregnancies are more likely to result in complications, possibly because they grow faster in the womb and require more nutrients and oxygen than supplied by the mother through the placenta -- the temporary organ that attaches to the wall of the uterus during pregnancy to help the fetus grow and develop. |
| Microrobot collectives display versatile movement patterns Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:16 AM PDT Collective behavior and swarm patterns are found everywhere in nature. Robots can also be programmed to act in swarms. Researchers have developed collectives of microrobots, which they can move in every formation they wish. |
| New graphite based rapid sensor chip for real-time theophylline monitoring Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:16 AM PDT Although theophylline (THO) is effective in treating respiratory problems and inflammation, the drug can be toxic if taken above certain limits. This demands accurate and rapid sensing devices that can closely monitor THO levels in patients. Therefore, scientists have now designed a paper-based THO sensor with a response time of 3 seconds. This new sensor is highly selective and sensitive. It has also been successfully tested using whole bovine blood. |
| Could blocking or deleting a protein help prevent common oral cancers? Posted: 25 Apr 2022 06:21 PM PDT Around one-third of people with oral squamous cell carcinoma don't survive it, but dental researchers have found deleting or inhibiting a protein in the tongue might stall tumor growth. |
| The impact of COVID-19 on drug use -- and how it contributes to overdose risk Posted: 25 Apr 2022 06:20 PM PDT In rural communities, structural and community factors during the pandemic have increased anxiety, depression, and loneliness and altered drug use behaviors, according to a new study. |
| Humans possess surprising nutritional intelligence Posted: 24 Apr 2022 05:32 PM PDT Pioneering research has shed new light on what drives people's basic food preferences, indicating our choices may be smarter than previously thought and influenced by the specific nutrients, as opposed to just calories, we need. |
