| Researchers achieve remote control of hormone release Posted: 17 Apr 2020 06:29 PM PDT Using magnetic nanoparticles, scientists stimulate the adrenal gland in rodents to control release of hormones linked to stress. |
| Under pressure: New bioinspired material can 'shapeshift' to external forces Posted: 17 Apr 2020 08:44 AM PDT Inspired by how human bone and colorful coral reefs adjust mineral deposits in response to their surrounding environments, researchers have created a self-adapting material that can change its stiffness in response to the applied force. This advancement can someday open the doors for materials that can self-reinforce to prepare for increased force or stop further damage. |
| The origin of feces: coproID reliably predicts sources of ancient scat Posted: 17 Apr 2020 05:16 AM PDT The archaeological record is littered with feces, a potential goldmine for insights into ancient health and diet, parasite evolution, and the ecology and evolution of the microbiome. The main problem for researchers is determining whose feces is under examination. |
| Light from stretchable sheets of atoms for quantum technologies Posted: 16 Apr 2020 08:45 AM PDT A team of scientists may have developed a way to address a decades-long challenge in the field of quantum materials - the spectral tuning of proposed quantum light sources. |
