    • Did teenage 'tyrants' outcompete other dinosaurs? February 25, 2021
      Paleo-ecologists have demonstrated that the offspring of enormous carnivorous dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus rex may have fundamentally re-shaped their communities by out-competing smaller rival species.
    • People with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies may have low risk of future infection, study finds February 24, 2021
      People who have had evidence of a prior infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, appear to be well protected against being reinfected with the virus, at least for a few months, according to a new study. This finding may explain why reinfection appears to be relatively rare, and it could have important public health implications.
    • New study suggests supermassive black holes could form from dark matter February 24, 2021
      A new theoretical study has proposed a novel mechanism for the creation of supermassive black holes from dark matter. The international team find that rather than the conventional formation scenarios involving 'normal' matter, supermassive black holes could instead form directly from dark matter in high density regions in the centres of galaxies. T […]
    • How did dogs get to the Americas? An ancient bone fragment holds clues February 24, 2021
      Researchers analyzed the dog's mitochondrial genome, and concluded that the animal belonged to a lineage of dogs whose evolutionary history diverged from that of Siberian dogs as early as 16,700 years ago. The timing of that split coincides with a period when humans may have been migrating into North America along a coastal route that included Southeast […]
    • A memory without a brain February 23, 2021
      Researchers have identified how the slime mold Physarum polycephalum saves memories -- although it has no nervous system.
    • The way a fish swims reveals a lot about its personality, say scientists February 23, 2021
      New research suggests animal personality can be reliably measured simply from the way individual animals move, a type of micropersonality trait, and that the method could be used to help scientists understand about personality differences in wild animals.
    • Whale sharks show remarkable capacity to recover from injuries, including partial fin re-growing February 23, 2021
      A new study explores the extraordinary rate at which the world's largest fish, the endangered whale shark, can recover from its injuries. The findings reveal that lacerations and abrasions, increasingly caused through collisions with boats, can heal in a matter of weeks and researchers found evidence of partially removed dorsal fins re-growing.
    • 'Walking' molecule superstructures could help create neurons for regenerative medicine February 23, 2021
      By discovering a new printable biomaterial that can mimic properties of brain tissue, researchers are now closer to developing a platform capable of treating conditions using regenerative medicine.
    • The Milky Way may be swarming with planets with oceans and continents like here on Earth February 23, 2021
      According to a new study, Earth, Venus and Mars were created from small dust particles containing ice and carbon. The discovery opens up the possibility that the Milky Way may be filled with aquatic planets.
    • NASA's Mars Perseverance rover provides front-row seat to landing, first audio recording of Red Planet February 22, 2021
      New video from NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover chronicles major milestones during the final minutes of its entry, descent, and landing (EDL) on the Red Planet on Feb. 18 as the spacecraft plummeted, parachuted, and rocketed toward the surface of Mars. A microphone on the rover also has provided the first audio recording of sounds from Mars.
    • Sleep is vital to associating emotion with memory, study finds February 22, 2021

    • Air pollution puts children at higher risk of disease in adulthood February 22, 2021
      A new study reveals evidence that early exposure to dirty air alters genes in a way that could lead to adult heart disease, among other ailments. The findings could change the way medical experts and parents think about the air children breathe and inform clinical interventions.
    • Potentially harmful chemicals found in plastic toys February 22, 2021
      New research suggests that more than 100 chemicals found in plastic toy materials may pose possible health risks to children. The study provides findings that may lead to stricter international regulations.
    • 'Jumping genes' repeatedly form new genes over evolution February 22, 2021
      A new study investigates how genetic elements called transposons, or 'jumping genes,' are added into the mix during evolution to assemble new genes through exon shuffling.
    • A speed limit also applies in the quantum world February 19, 2021
      Even in the world of the smallest particles with their own special rules, things cannot proceed infinitely fast. Physicists have now shown what the speed limit is for complex quantum operations. The results are important for the realization of quantum computers, among other things.
    • Touchdown! NASA's Mars Perseverance rover safely lands on Red Planet February 18, 2021
      The largest, most advanced rover NASA has sent to another world touched down on Mars Thursday, after a 203-day journey traversing 293 million miles (472 million kilometers). About the size of a car, the robotic geologist and astrobiologist will undergo several weeks of testing before it begins its two-year science investigation of Mars' Jezero Crater. A […]
    • Scientists identify more than 140,000 virus species in the human gut February 18, 2021

    • Toward a disease-sniffing device that rivals a dog's nose February 17, 2021
      A new system can detect the chemical and microbial content of an air sample with even greater sensitivity than a dog's nose. Researchers coupled this to a machine-learning process that can identify the distinctive characteristics of the disease-bearing samples.
    • Neandertal gene variants both increase and decrease the risk for severe COVID-19 February 16, 2021
      Last year, researchers showed that a major genetic risk factor for severe COVID-19 is inherited from Neandertals. Now the same researchers show that Neandertals also contributed a protective variant. Half of all people outside Africa carry a Neandertal gene variant that reduces the risk of needing intensive care for COVID-19 by 20 percent.
