Insights into how the parasites that cause the disease are able to communicate with one another could help limit the spread of the infection. The findings…
More than 30 percent of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes TB, yet only 5 to 10 percent of those…
Teens who were heavy marijuana users — smoking it daily for about three years — had abnormal changes in their brain structures related to working memory and…
The statement — whose lead author is Yvonne Maldonado, MD, professor of pediatrics at the Stanford University School of Medicine — will be published online…
In neuroscience research, optogenetics is a newly developed technology that allows researchers to control the activity of specific populations of brain cells,…
“With the genuine rise in wealth inequality over the past several decades, and the popular media's intensive coverage of this issue, we wondered how income…
This may have practical significance in the control of nanoscale friction. The results have been published in the scientific journal Nature Materials. Friction is often seen as an adverse phenomenon that leads to wear and causes energy loss. Conversely, however, too little friction can be a disadvantage as well – for example, running on an icy surface or driving on a wet road….
A Cologne scientist has, together with American colleagues, discovered huge active plumes containing water vapour being released from the surface of Jupiter’s…
