The researchers even succeeded, for the first time, in manipulating the molecule’s operations without creating any cognitive impairment.
Following a 5,000 km long ocean survey, research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences presents a new way to measure how the…
Oscillations of brain activity influence our attention and many other mental functions. Tatjana Tchumatchenko from the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research…
A research team from Germany developed an analytical model to describe the structural dynamics of photoexcited thin films and verified it by ultrafast X-ray…
Why does the cold, barren surface of Mars contain geological features that appear to have been formed by flowing water: river valleys, lake basins, and deltas?…
The researchers examined patient cells and animal models of several diseases that feature chronic protein misfolding and found that in each case, a cellular…
On a quest to design an alternative to the two complex approaches currently used to produce electrons within microwave electron guns, a team of researchers…
Scientists have long known that volcanoes can cool the atmosphere, mainly by means of sulfur dioxide gas that eruptions expel. Droplets of sulfuric acid that…
For such humble creatures, single-celled paramecia have remarkable sensory systems. Give them a sharp jab on the nose, they back up and swim away. Jab them in…

Theoretically, iron pyrite — a cheap compound that makes a common mineral known as fool's gold — could do the job, but when it works at all, the conversion…
Hox genes are master body-building genes that specify where an animal's head, tail and everything in between should go. There's even a special Hox gene program…
Professor Davis says: “We studied the immune system and then stumbled across something that may explain why some drugs don't work as well as hoped. We found…
However, future land-management will be crucial to fulfill human needs. Both objectives, climate mitigation and fulfilling human needs, can only be achieved by…
Why do some people become mentally ill when exposed to stress while others do not? Which genetic factors underlie the processes that maintain our mental…
