| An efficient and low-cost approach to detecting food fraud Posted: 11 Oct 2021 06:13 AM PDT Fraudulent practices in food production, especially false claims of geographical origin, cause billions of dollars in economic damage every year. Botanists have now developed a model that can be used to determine the origin of food in an efficient and low-cost manner. |
| A rare feat: Material protects against both biological and chemical threats Posted: 08 Oct 2021 01:04 PM PDT Researchers have developed a versatile composite fabric that can deactivate both biological threats, such as the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, and chemical threats, such as those used in chemical warfare. A material that is effective against both classes of threats is rare. The new material also is reusable. It can be restored to its original state after the fabric has been exposed to threats by a simple bleach treatment. |
| Multiple individuals are buried in the Tomb of Nestor’s Cup, study finds Posted: 06 Oct 2021 11:34 AM PDT The Tomb of Nestor's Cup, a famous burial in Italy, contains not one deceased individual, but several, according to a new study. |
| Line and hook fishing techniques in Epipaleolithic Israel Posted: 06 Oct 2021 11:34 AM PDT Humans in the Middle East were using complex fishing tools and techniques by 12,000 years ago, according to a new study. |
| Soil microorganism provides clues into the breakdown of natural red dye Posted: 05 Oct 2021 09:48 AM PDT Researchers isolated a soil microorganism that initiates the breakdown of a popular natural red dye via a newly discovered enzyme, providing insight into how this chemical reaction occurs in nature. |
| Revealing the secrets of ground beetle wing casings Posted: 05 Oct 2021 09:48 AM PDT Researchers explore the microstructure of the ground beetle exoskeleton using microscopy. |
| Evolutionary reason why females feel the cold more than males do Posted: 05 Oct 2021 09:48 AM PDT Researchers offer a new evolutionary explanation for the familiar scenario in which women bring a sweater into work, while their male counterparts feel comfortable wearing short sleeves in an air-conditioned office. The researchers concluded that this phenomenon is not unique to humans, with many male species of endotherms (birds and mammals) preferring a cooler temperature than the females. |
