Nanoparticle vaccine protects against a spectrum of COVID-19-causing variants and related viruses Posted: 05 Jul 2022 07:38 AM PDT A new vaccine candidate, named mosaic-8, containing pieces of eight different SARS-like betacoronaviruses provides broad protection against other related coronaviruses. |
Hereditary factors that increase the likelihood of cancer mutations detailed in new study Posted: 05 Jul 2022 07:38 AM PDT A new study reveals 42 hereditary genes which predispose individuals to a higher number of mutations that correlate with a greater probability of developing cancer. |
Why natural gas is not a bridge technology Posted: 05 Jul 2022 07:36 AM PDT The expansion of natural gas infrastructure jeopardizes energy transition, as natural gas is not a bridge technology towards a 100 per cent renewable energy system as defined by the Paris Climate Agreement. The researchers have examined the natural gas issue from five perspectives and given gas a fairly poor climate balance, comparable to that of coal or oil. They recommend that politicians and scientists revise the current assumptions about natural gas. |
Taking Vitamin D during pregnancy could lower the risk of eczema in babies Posted: 05 Jul 2022 06:38 AM PDT Taking Vitamin D supplements during pregnancy could substantially reduce the chances of babies up to a year old suffering from atopic eczema, according to a new study. |
Eavesdropping on whales in the high Arctic Posted: 05 Jul 2022 06:07 AM PDT Earth's oceans are crisscrossed with roughly 1.2 million km of fiber optic telecommunication cables. Researchers have now succeeded in using a fiber in a submarine cable as a passive listening system, enabling them to listen to and monitor whales. |
Making it easier to differentiate mirror-image molecules Posted: 05 Jul 2022 06:07 AM PDT Using a new method, scientists are better able to distinguish between mirror-image substances. This is important amongst others in drug development, because the two variants can cause completely different effects in the human body. |
Link between recognizing our voice and feeling in control Posted: 05 Jul 2022 06:07 AM PDT Being able to recognize our own voice is a critical factor for our sense of control over our speech, according to a new study. If people think they hear someone else's voice when they speak, they do not strongly feel that they caused the sound. This could be a clue to understanding the experience of people who live with auditory hallucinations and could help to improve online communication and virtual reality experiences. |
More dogs in the neighborhood often means less crime, research shows Posted: 05 Jul 2022 06:07 AM PDT In a recent study, researchers found that neighborhoods with more dogs had lower rates of homicide, robbery and, to a lesser extent, aggravated assaults compared to areas with fewer dogs, at least when residents also had high levels of trust in each other. |
Magnetic spins that 'freeze' when heated: Nature in the wrong direction Posted: 04 Jul 2022 03:09 PM PDT Physicists observed a strange new type of behavior in a magnetic material when it's heated up. The magnetic spins 'freeze' into a static pattern when the temperature rises, a phenomenon that normally occurs when the temperature decreases. |
Coevolution of mammals and their lice Posted: 04 Jul 2022 03:09 PM PDT According to a new study, the first louse to take up residence on a mammalian host likely started out as a parasite of birds. That host-jumping event tens of millions of years ago began the long association between mammals and lice, setting the stage for their coevolution and offering more opportunities for the lice to spread to other mammals. |
Genetic atlas for zebrafish 'breakthrough' for biomedical research Posted: 04 Jul 2022 03:09 PM PDT Medical and life science researchers will benefit from the most comprehensive atlas yet of genetic data on zebrafish, newly published research suggests. |
Birds warned of food shortages by neighbor birds change physiology and behavior to prepare Posted: 01 Jul 2022 07:27 AM PDT Songbirds learning from nearby birds that food supplies might be growing short respond by changing their physiology as well as their behavior, research shows. |
