Genetic patterns of world's farmed, domesticated foxes revealed via historical deep-dive
Domesticated animals play a prominent role in our society, with two-thirds of American families enjoying the companionship of pets and many others relying on animal products for their nutritional needs. But the process of domestication remains a bit of a mystery.
A prosthesis driven by the nervous system helps people with amputation walk naturally
With a new surgical intervention and neuroprosthetic interface, researchers restored a natural walking gait in people with amputations below the knee. Seven patients were able to walk faster, avoid obstacles, and climb stairs more naturally than people with a traditional
New and improved camera inspired by the human eye
Computer scientists have invented a camera mechanism that improves how robots see and react to the world around them. Inspired by how the human eye works, their innovative camera system mimics the tiny involuntary movements used by the eye to maintain clear and stable vision
Self-assembling, highly conductive sensors could improve wearable devices
To advance soft robotics, skin-integrated electronics and biomedical devices, researchers have developed a 3D-printed material that is soft and stretchable -- traits needed for matching the properties of tissues and organs -- and that self-assembles. Their approach employs a
A new pulsar buried in a mountain of data
Astronomers have discovered the first millisecond pulsar in the stellar cluster Glimpse-CO1.
Dampening the 'seeds' of hurricanes
Increased atmospheric moisture may alter critical weather patterns over Africa, making it more difficult for the predecessors of many Atlantic hurricanes to form, according to a new study.
Shrinking glaciers: Microscopic fungi enhance soil carbon storage in new landscapes created by shrinking Arctic glaciers
Shrinking glaciers expose new land in the Arctic, creating unique ecosystems. Researchers studied how microbes colonize these barren landscapes. The study reveals a crucial role for specific fungal species in capturing and storing carbon in the newly formed soil. These findings
Overlooked brain organ plays key role in promoting brain repair after stroke
Scientists found the choroid plexus and cerebrospinal fluid play a key role in maintaining a pool of newly born neurons to repair the adult brain after injury.
Why Hurricane Beryl Underwent Unprecedented Rapid Intensification
Hurricane Beryl, the earliest Category 5 storm in the Atlantic, exploded in strength unusually early in its development, fueled by exceptionally warm ocean waters
Study suggests evolutionary history regulates fine root lifespan in tree species across the world
Fine roots (≤2 mm in diameter), the main conduit for resource uptake in the plant-soil continuum, are one of the most metabolically active organs of trees. Due to the difficulty of directly observing root dynamics, quantifying fine root lifespan can be challenging. Many factors
City fern, country fern: Citizen science is helping to study why some plants love the city life
In research published in the American Journal of Botany, University of Connecticut Department of Earth Sciences Assistant Professor in Residence Tammo Reichgelt has used citizen science data to show that while some ferns prefer to remain rural, others thrive in urban settings
Multinational fusion energy project marks completion of its most complex magnet system
After two decades of design, production, fabrication and assembly on three continents, the historic, multinational ITER fusion energy project today celebrates the completion and delivery of its massive toroidal field coils from Japan and Europe.
Research intern helps discover a new pulsar buried in a mountain of data
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Remote Sensing Division intern Amaris McCarver, along with a team of astronomers, has discovered the first millisecond pulsar in the stellar cluster Glimpse-CO1 and recently published findings in The Astrophysical Journal.
New insights into antihistamine binding could lead to more effective treatments
Even if two molecules have the exact same chemical formula and the same number and types of bonds, their three-dimensional arrangements can still be different. While some people might mistakenly disregard this as a minor detail, even simple changes in the position or
New radiative transfer modeling framework enhances deep learning for plant phenotyping
A research team has developed a radiative transfer modeling framework using Helios 3D plant modeling software to simulate RGB, multi-/hyperspectral, thermal, and depth camera images with fully resolved reference labels. This innovative method markedly diminishes the necessity
Determining the safest Mars caves for future astronauts
When astronauts land on Mars someday, they might have to live in lava caves or lava tubes to survive the harsh radiation that rains down on the Martian surface every second. But which caves could offer them the best chance of survival?
With X-ray analysis, an asteroid provides a view into our solar system's past
Imagine opening a time capsule, hoping to learn about the ancient past. Except, instead of a box or a chest, it's an asteroid that could provide insights into the very dawn of life on Earth.
Mothers who receive childcare support from maternal grandparents show more parental warmth, finds study
Mothers whose parents help out with childcare are more likely to show their children parental warmth than mothers who do not receive any support, finds a study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and published in the Journal of Marriage and Family.
Study finds one-third of Indonesia's deforested land left idle
According to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, extensive land areas have been left sitting idle after tropical forests were cleared in Indonesia, a country renowned for its biodiverse rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands.
Microscopic fungi enhance soil carbon storage in new landscapes created by shrinking Arctic glaciers
Melting Arctic glaciers are in rapid recession, and microscopic organisms colonize the newly exposed landscapes. Dr. James Bradley, Honorary Reader in Arctic Biogeochemistry in the School of Biological and Behavioral Sciences at Queen Mary University of London, and his team,
When ultrashort electron bunch accelerates and drastically stops, it can generate terahertz radiation
The propagation of charged particles in a medium at a speed exceeding the phase speed of light in the medium (this speed also called superluminal) leads to the generation of radiation. The diagram of generated radiation during this process has a conical structure. This effect,
NASA shares two new Moon to Mars architecture white papers
NASA has released two white papers associated with the agency's Moon to Mars architecture efforts. The papers, one on lunar mobility drivers and needs, and one on lunar surface cargo, detail NASA's latest thinking on specific areas of its lunar exploration strategy.
Rethinking old reaction mechanisms to obtain drug-type molecules
Nitrogen is an important and abundant element on Earth. In fact, nitrogen in the gas state is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere. This element is in our body as part of our DNA and in the center of hemoglobin. But nitrogen is also involved in our health.
Creating bio-concrete and biogenic construction materials with cyanobacteria
Fraunhofer researchers have developed a method of creating biogenic construction materials based on cyanobacteria. The bacteria multiply in a nutrient solution, driven by photosynthesis.
