| Bacterial trick: A kind of sponge that absorbs certain messengers Posted: 03 Feb 2022 07:30 AM PST Bacteria are extremely resourceful when it comes to adapting to a given environment. A team of researchers has now discovered a new trick bacteria use: a kind of sponge that absorbs certain messengers. |
| People with less memory loss in old age gain more knowledge Posted: 03 Feb 2022 07:30 AM PST Do cognitive abilities change together, or do they change independently of each other? Researchers present new findings. |
| Juno and Hubble data reveal electromagnetic 'tug-of-war' lights up Jupiter’s upper atmosphere Posted: 03 Feb 2022 05:36 AM PST New space research has revealed a complex 'tug-of-war' lights up aurorae in Jupiter's upper atmosphere. The study describes the delicate current cycle driven by Jupiter’s rapid rotation and the release of sulphur and oxygen from volcanoes on its moon, Io. |
| Wisdom engendered: Study finds men and women have different strengths Posted: 03 Feb 2022 05:36 AM PST Researchers looked at gender differences relative to wisdom, using two different validated scales and found that, in general, women scored higher on compassion-related items and on self-reflection while men scored higher on cognitive-related items and on emotional regulation. |
| Exercise can provide relief for dry, itchy eyes Posted: 03 Feb 2022 05:36 AM PST Researchers have discovered that a significant increase in tear secretion and tear film stability after participating in aerobic exercise can be another remedy for relieving dry, itchy eyes. |
| Posted: 03 Feb 2022 05:36 AM PST Investigators have identified a germline biomarker signature that successfully predicts which patients will suffer serious side effects that occur in up to 3 in ten patients on anti-PD1/PDL1 therapy, a promising new approach to treating cancer. |
| How migraine pain signals are generated, and blocked Posted: 03 Feb 2022 05:36 AM PST An international team of researchers has discovered that Schwann cells -- which are abundant in the peripheral nervous system and create a protective sheath around nerve fibers -- play an essential role in migraine pain. Their study illustrates how pain is signaled from within Schwann cells and finds several ways to block this signaling, providing potential targets for new migraine treatments. |
| Human-induced climate change impacts the highest reaches of the planet — Mount Everest Posted: 03 Feb 2022 05:35 AM PST Melting and sublimation on Mount Everest's highest glacier due to human-induced climate change have reached the point that several decades of accumulation are being lost annually now that ice has been exposed, according to a research team that analyzed data from the world's highest ice core and highest automatic weather stations. |
| People prefer interacting with female robots in hotels, study finds Posted: 03 Feb 2022 05:35 AM PST People are more comfortable talking to female rather than male robots working in service roles in hotels, according to new research. The study, which surveyed about 170 people on hypothetical service robot scenarios, also found that the preference was stronger when the robots were described as having more human features. |
| Shocked zircon find a 'one-off gift' from Mars Posted: 02 Feb 2022 11:30 AM PST Researchers studying a Martian meteorite have found the first evidence of high-intensity damage caused by asteroid impact, in findings that have implications for understanding when conditions suitable for life may have existed on early Mars. |
| The puzzle of the 'lost' angular momentum Posted: 02 Feb 2022 08:17 AM PST A research team succeeds in solving a decade-old physical puzzle: the question of the fate of angular momentum during the ultrafast demagnetization of nickel crystals by laser light. |
| Social isolation and loneliness increase heart disease risk in senior women Posted: 02 Feb 2022 08:17 AM PST Data from a new study point to as much as a 27% increase in heart disease risk in postmenopausal women who experience both high levels of social isolation and loneliness. |
| Red snow phenomena are a balancing act Posted: 02 Feb 2022 06:19 AM PST Researchers found that the occurrence of red snow algal blooms is associated with the occurrence of new snowfall and the duration of snow melt. A revised snow algae model incorporated into a land surface model was used to simulate global snow algal abundance. The model can be used to predict the location and timing of red snow algal blooms, and their effects on global snow cover. |
| Posted: 02 Feb 2022 05:03 AM PST A new study presents a 1.5 million-year-old human vertebra discovered in Israel's Jordan Valley. According to the research, ancient human migration from Africa to Eurasia was not a one-time event but occurred in waves. |
