| Researchers develop a method for predicting unprecedented events Posted: 23 Jul 2020 11:37 AM PDT Researchers combined avalanche physics with ecosystem data to create a computational method for predicting extreme ecological events. The method may also have applications in economics and politics. |
| COVID-19 lockdown caused 50 percent global reduction in human-linked Earth vibrations Posted: 23 Jul 2020 11:37 AM PDT The lack of human activity during lockdown caused human-linked vibrations in the Earth to drop by an average of 50 percent between March and May 2020. |
| Spectacular ultraviolet flash may finally explain how white dwarfs explode Posted: 23 Jul 2020 08:59 AM PDT For just the second time ever, astrophysicists have spotted a spectacular flash of ultraviolet (UV) light accompanying a white dwarf explosion. An extremely rare type of supernova, the event is poised to offer insights into several long-standing mysteries, including what causes white dwarfs to explode, how dark energy accelerates the cosmos and how the universe creates heavy metals, such as iron. |
| Neanderthals may have had a lower threshold for pain Posted: 23 Jul 2020 08:59 AM PDT Nerve cells have a special ion channel that has a key role in starting the electrical impulse that signals pain and is sent to the brain. New research finds that people who inherited the Neanderthal variant of this ion channel experience more pain. |
| Meet Cosmo, a bull calf designed to produce more male offspring Posted: 23 Jul 2020 08:58 AM PDT Scientists have successfully produced a bull calf, named Cosmo, who was genome-edited as an embryo so that he'll produce more male offspring. |
| Is it a bird, a plane? Not superman, but a flapping wing drone Posted: 22 Jul 2020 11:27 AM PDT A drone prototype that mimics the aerobatic manoeuvres of one of the world's fastest birds, the swift, is being developed by an international team of engineers in the latest example of biologically inspired flight. |
| Antibiotics disrupt development of the 'social brain' in mice Posted: 22 Jul 2020 10:49 AM PDT Antibiotic treatment in early life impedes brain signalling pathways that function in social behavior and pain regulation in mice, a new study has found. |
| Holograms help physicians during cardiac procedure Posted: 21 Jul 2020 10:28 AM PDT A holographic display improves physician accuracy when performing a procedure to treat irregular heartbeat. |
