Green algae, white noise: Gas bubbles produced during photosynthesis ‘ring’ upon release
Gas bubbles released by marine algae during photosynthesis produce sound whose intensity correlates with the degree of algal cover on coral reefs, according to...
Teeth of Homo antecessor shed light on trends in Pleistocene hominin dental evolution
Some of the dental features characteristic of Neanderthals were already present in Early Pleistocene Homo antecessor, according to a new study.
Astronomers find first compelling evidence for a moon outside our solar system
On the hunt for distant worlds, researchers have identified an exomoon candidate around the transiting exoplanet Kepler-1625b that indicates the presence of a previously...
Weak magnetic fields affect cells via a protein involved in bird migration
Beneficial effects, and possible harm, of exposure to weak pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) may be mediated by a protein related to one that helps...
Free thinking: Origins of free will in the brain
Neuroscientists used brain lesion network mapping to find the anatomical origins of the perception of free will.
Making the right connections
Researchers have uncovered a new molecular interaction that governs the formation of specific functional connections between two types of neurons. It gives an important...
