    • A hint of new physics in polarized radiation from the early universe December 2, 2020
      Astronomers developed a new method to calibrate detectors to the light from dust in our Galaxy, thereby describing a new physics, with 99.2 percent accuracy, that may show parity symmetry breaking.
    • Researchers determine how the SARS-CoV-2 virus hijacks and rapidly causes damage to human lung cells December 2, 2020
      Researchers have identified host proteins and pathways in lung cells whose levels change upon infection by the SARS-CoV-2, providing insights into disease pathology and new therapeutic targets to block COVID-19.
    • Greenland ice sheet faces irreversible melting December 2, 2020
      Scientists predict Greenland ice sheet will pass a threshold beyond which it will never fully regrow and sea levels will be permanently higher in as little as 600 years under current climate change projections, as Greenland's climate would be permanently altered as the ice sheet shrinks.
    • New tests identify early changes in Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms appear December 2, 2020
      Researchers have found new forms of tau protein that become abnormal in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease before cognitive problems develop. The scientists developed new tools to detect these subtle changes and confirmed their results in human samples.
    • Is it better to give than receive? December 1, 2020
      Young children who have experienced compassionate love and empathy from their mothers may be more willing to turn thoughts into action by being generous to others, a University of California, Davis, study suggests. Lab studies were done of children at ages 4 and 6.
    • Fingerprints' moisture-regulating mechanism strengthens human touch November 30, 2020
      Human fingerprints have a self-regulating moisture mechanism that not only helps us to avoid dropping our smartphone, but could help scientists to develop better prosthetic limbs, robotic equipment and virtual reality environments, a new study reveals.
    • New Hubble data explains missing dark matter November 30, 2020
      The missing dark matter in certain galaxies can be explained by the effects of tidal disruption: the gravity forces of a neighboring massive galaxy, literally tearing the smaller galaxy apart.
    • Which factors trigger leaf die-off in autumn? November 30, 2020
      Researchers have identified a self-regulating mechanism in European deciduous trees that limits their growing-season length: Trees that photosynthesize more in spring and summer lose their leaves earlier in autumn.
    • Not just lizards: Alligators can regrow their tails too, new study reveals November 23, 2020
      Scientists have discovered that young alligators have the ability to regrow their tails up to three-quarters of a foot -- about 18 percent of their total body length. The researchers speculate that this ability to regrow tails gives the alligators a functional advantage in their murky aquatic habitats.
    • Zebra finches amazing at unmasking the bird behind the song November 21, 2020

    • Researchers examine which approaches are most effective at reducing COVID-19 spread November 20, 2020
      Researchers have found that physical distancing is universally effective at reducing the spread of COVID-19, while social bubbles and masks are more situation-dependent. The researchers developed a model to test the effectiveness of measures such as physical distancing, masks or social bubbles when used in various settings.
    • Memories create 'fingerprints' that reveal how the brain is organized November 20, 2020
      While the broad architecture and organization of the human brain is universal, new research shows how the differences between how people reimagine common scenarios can be observed in brain activity and quantified. These unique neurological signatures could ultimately be used to understand, study, and even improve treatment of disorders such as Alzheimer […]
