Global deforestation can be reduced by measuring the amount of carbon contained in natural forests. The measurements may make it possible for tropical…
The results, which are presented in Nature, may provide future treatments of intestinal diseases and obesity.There are ten times more bacteria in our…
Diabetes is common among patients with coronary artery disease, and this is a potentially lethal combination: a thesis from the University of Gothenburg's…
At least for extreme rainfall and heat waves the link with human-caused global warming is clear, the scientists show in a new analysis of scientific evidence…
What we believe to see in one of the most famous optical illusions changes in a split second; and so does the path that the information takes in the brain. In…
Theoretical chemists like Dr. £ukasz Tomasz Rajchel (University of Warsaw) are familiar with that. However, they – or rather their computers – are not capable…
In type 1 diabetes (T1D), pancreatic beta cells die from a misguided autoimmune attack, but how and why that happens is still unclear. Now, JDRF-funded…
For example, it is impossible to take a single photon and make a number of photons that are in the exact same quantum state. This may seem minor, but it's not….
But when scientists use food as a proxy for that water – taking into account how much crops are irrigated and livestock are fed – they can get a glimpse of the…
“This melt-rich layer is actually quite spotty under the Pacific Ocean basin and surrounding areas, as revealed by my analysis of seismometer data,” says Dr….
A new study in the March issue of the Journal of Food Science, published by the Institute of Food Technologists, reported that two specific genes (TAS2R38–a…
Trace amounts of the contaminant, which is used in medical treatments, are entering waterways via wastewater treatment systems and providing a new way to track…
In a paper published in the Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, Ali Passian and colleagues present a technique that uses a quantum cascade laser to “pump,”…
The future belongs to electric vehicles – the experts are convinced of this. But there are a few challenges to overcome before quietly whirring electric cars…
The drugs, azacitidine (AZA) and decitabine (DAC), are epigenetic-targeted drugs and work to correct cancer-causing alterations that modify DNA.The researchers…
