| Rocking shadows in protoplanetary discs Posted: 15 Jul 2022 07:57 AM PDT Astronomers reveal a new phenomenon dubbed the 'rocking shadow' effect that describes how discs in forming planetary systems are oriented, and how they move around their host star. The effect also gives clues as to how they might evolve with time. |
| Does this ring a bell? Wild bats can remember sounds for years Posted: 14 Jul 2022 04:04 PM PDT There are certain skills that once we acquire them, we rarely have to relearn them, like riding a bike or looking both ways before crossing a street. Most studies on learning and long-term memory in the wild focus on a handful of animal species. Now, in a publication in Current Biology, researchers working at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) share the first report of long-term memory in frog-eating bats (Trachops cirrhosus). |
| One-hit wonder: How awards, recognition decrease inventors' creativity Posted: 14 Jul 2022 01:58 PM PDT New research has identified one reason why some first-time producers struggle to repeat their initial creative productions while others go on to continually produce creative works. |
| New anticoagulant platform, offering hope for advances for heart surgery, dialysis, other procedures Posted: 14 Jul 2022 01:58 PM PDT While blood clotting is important to prevent blood loss and for our immunity, coagulation also can cause health issues and even death. Now, a new biomolecular anticoagulant platform holds promise as a revolutionary advancement over the blood thinners currently used during surgeries and other procedures. |
| Epo does not help with neurological damage to newborns Posted: 14 Jul 2022 01:58 PM PDT Adding erythropoietin to cooling therapy for term newborns with birth asphyxia has no benefit over cooling therapy alone, a new study shows. The findings contrast with results from small trials in which erythropoietin appeared safe and effective. |
| Wireless activation of targeted brain circuits in less than one second Posted: 14 Jul 2022 01:58 PM PDT Neuroengineers have created wireless technology to remotely activate brain circuits. Researchers showed they could control the behavior of freely moving fruit flies using magnetic signals that activated genetically engineered neurons causing the flies to perform specific behaviors. |
| A new treatment approach for cystic fibrosis Posted: 14 Jul 2022 01:58 PM PDT Antisense oligonucleotides, or ASOs, are molecules that can be used to control protein levels in cells. Scientists have discovered a new way ASOs may help cells produce a protein missing in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The discovery sets the stage for a new therapeutic approach that may help reduce CF symptoms and improve patients' quality of life. |
| Link between air pollution and child brain development strengthened Posted: 14 Jul 2022 11:52 AM PDT A new study has added evidence showing that both prenatal and postnatal exposure to air pollution can harm kids. |
