Bacteria communicate like us — and we could use this to help address antibiotic...
Like the neurons firing in human brains, bacteria use electricity to communicate and respond to environmental cues. Now, researchers have discovered a way to...
New technique maps large-scale impacts of fire-induced permafrost thaw in Alaska
Researchers have developed a machine learning-based ensemble approach to quantify fire-induced thaw settlement across the entire Tanana Flats in Alaska, which encompasses more than...
Social isolation triggers astrocyte-mediated deficits in learning and memory
In animal models, social isolation triggers memory and learning deficits that are mediated by hyperactivity of the most abundant brain cell, the astrocyte. Importantly,...
Pungent ginger compound puts immune cells on heightened alert
Ginger has a reputation for stimulating the immune system. New results now support this thesis. In laboratory tests, small amounts of a pungent ginger...
Scientists find world’s oldest European hedgehog
The world's oldest scientifically-confirmed European hedgehog has been found in Denmark by a citizen science project involving hundreds of volunteers. The hedgehog lived for...
Rats trade initial rewards for long-term learning opportunities
Scientists have provided evidence for the cognitive control of learning in rats, showing they can estimate the long-term value of learning and adapt their...
On-demand male contraceptive shows promise in preclinical study
An experimental contraceptive drug temporarily stops sperm in their tracks and prevents pregnancies in preclinical models. The study demonstrates that an on-demand male contraceptive...
The roar and crackle of Artemis 1
When the Artemis 1 mission was launched in November, it became the world's most powerful rocket, and with liftoff came a loud roar heard...
The perfect pour: Model predicts beer head features
Researchers have analyzed brewing with numerical simulations to predict an array of beer foam features. They demonstrate that their model can determine foam patterns,...
Better understanding on the way to a carbon-neutral economy
What role could rifted margins play in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy? Researchers summarize the current state of knowledge about the so-called rifting...
