| Federal research funding has positive 'ripple effects' Posted: 22 Apr 2022 01:15 PM PDT Federal funding for biomedical research has a 'ripple effect' of stimulating new studies even beyond the original purposes of a grant and may provide unexpected benefits, a new study suggests. |
| Breakthrough in estimating fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions Posted: 22 Apr 2022 01:15 PM PDT Scientists have made a major breakthrough in detecting changes in fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions more quickly and frequently. |
| Fluid flow stimulates chemosynthesis in a Greek salad of hydrothermal microbes Posted: 22 Apr 2022 08:47 AM PDT A new study uses an innovative approach to examine a shallow-water hydrothermal system and the production of microbes there in situ and near natural conditions as a model to assess the importance of hydrothermal fluid circulation on chemosynthesis. |
| Discovery sheds light on why the Pacific islands were colonized Posted: 22 Apr 2022 08:47 AM PDT Evidence of the early colonization of the Pacific has been described as like finding a needle in a haystack by researchers who have unearthed items from more than 3000 years ago in Papua New Guinea. |
| Posted: 22 Apr 2022 06:43 AM PDT Pancreatic cancer has a significantly poor prognosis; therefore, the development of effective treatments is an unmet clinical need. The major drawback in this field was the lack of useful model animals, which delayed the establishment of markers for early diagnosis and therapeutic options. The research group established an effective carcinogenesis method with wild-type rats by selectively introducing oncogenes into the pancreas, using the pancreas-targeted hydrodynamic gene delivery method that has been developed by the group. |
| Water processing: Light helps degrade hormones Posted: 22 Apr 2022 06:43 AM PDT Micropollutants in water often are hormones that accumulate in the environment and may have negative impacts on humans and animals. Researchers have now developed a process for the photocatalytic degradation of these pollutants when they flow through polymer membranes. Irradiation with light triggers a chemical reaction, as a result of which steroid hormones are degraded on the membranes coated with titanium dioxide. |
| Lesser known ozone layer's outsized role in planet warming Posted: 22 Apr 2022 06:43 AM PDT New research has identified a lesser-known form of ozone playing a big role in heating the Southern Ocean -- one of Earth's main cooling systems. |
| Why stored linseed oil tastes bitter -- and what you could do about it Posted: 21 Apr 2022 11:16 AM PDT Scientists have uncovered new molecular details relevant to the bitterness of stored linseed oil. The findings should help to develop suitable technological processes or breeding strategies that preserve the good taste of the edible oil for longer. |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2022 11:16 AM PDT A study has found that living in a tree-filled environment is associated with better early childhood development than living in an environment where vegetation takes the form of grass cover. The analysis also found that both varieties of green space are associated with better child development outcomes than areas dominated by paved surfaces. |
| Skin bacteria may boost immune response of mice vaccinated with smallpox vaccine, study shows Posted: 21 Apr 2022 11:15 AM PDT The global eradication of smallpox in the 1980s was achieved by intradermal vaccination with vaccinia virus. A study shows that there is a large increase in skin bacteria and suggests that this may enhance the immune response. |
| Strategy for highly efficient and stable perovskite solar cells Posted: 21 Apr 2022 11:15 AM PDT A research has developed new, highly efficient and stable perovskite solar cells. The breakthrough invention is expected to greatly accelerate the commercialization of perovskite photovoltaic technology, providing a promising alternative to silicon solar cells. |
| Fungal meningitis spreads by blocking and bursting blood vessels Posted: 21 Apr 2022 11:15 AM PDT New research has revealed how fungus blocks and bursts blood vessels in the brain, helping scientists better understand how meningitis starts. |
| Ancient skeletons reveal the history of worm parasites in Britain Posted: 21 Apr 2022 11:15 AM PDT New research reveals the scale of parasitic worm infections in Britain from the Prehistoric to the early Victorian periods. |
