| Swallowing this colonoscopy-like bacteria grabber could reveal secrets about your health Posted: 12 Aug 2020 01:13 PM PDT Your gut bacteria could say a lot about you, such as why you're diabetic or how you respond to certain drugs. But scientists can see only so much of the gastrointestinal tract to study the role of gut bacteria in your health. Researchers built a way to swallow a tool that acts like a colonoscopy, except that instead of looking at the colon with a camera, the technology takes samples of bacteria. |
| Time-shifted inhibition helps electric fish ignore their own signals Posted: 12 Aug 2020 01:13 PM PDT African fish called mormyrids communicate using pulses of electricity. New research shows that a time-shifted signal in the brain helps the fish to ignore their own pulse. This skill has co-evolved with large and rapid changes in these signals across species. |
| How stars form in the smallest galaxies Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:41 AM PDT The question of how small, dwarf galaxies have sustained the formation of new stars over the course of the Universe has long confounded the world's astronomers. An international research team has found that dormant small galaxies can slowly accumulate gas over many billions of years. When this gas suddenly collapses under its own weight, new stars are able to arise. |
| Quantum researchers create an error-correcting cat Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:40 AM PDT Physicists have developed an error-correcting cat -- a new device that combines the Schrödinger's cat concept of superposition (a physical system existing in two states at once) with the ability to fix some of the trickiest errors in a quantum computation. |
| Engaging undergrads remotely with an escape room game Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:40 AM PDT Researchers describe an alternative way to engage students: a virtual game, modeled on an escape room, in which teams solve chemistry problems to progress and 'escape.' |
| Evidence in mice that electroacupuncture reduces inflammation via specific neural pathways Posted: 12 Aug 2020 08:53 AM PDT Stimulating the nervous system using small electric current by acupuncture could tamp down systemic inflammation in the body, suggests new research in mice. |
| Nanotubes in the eye that help us see Posted: 12 Aug 2020 08:53 AM PDT A new mechanism of blood redistribution that is essential for the proper functioning of the adult retina has just been discovered in vivo. |
| Extremely young galaxy is Milky Way look-alike Posted: 12 Aug 2020 08:53 AM PDT Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have revealed an extremely distant and therefore very young galaxy that looks surprisingly like our Milky Way. The galaxy is so far away its light has taken more than 12 billion years to reach us: we see it as it was when the Universe was just 1.4 billion years old. It is also surprisingly unchaotic, contradicting theories that all galaxies in the early Universe were turbulent and unstable. |
| 'Black dwarf supernova': Physicist calculates when the last supernova ever will happen Posted: 12 Aug 2020 08:33 AM PDT New theoretical research finds that many white dwarfs may explode in supernova in the distant far future, long after everything else in the universe has died and gone quiet. |
| Bouncing, sticking, exploding viruses: Understanding the surface chemistry of SARS-CoV-2 Posted: 11 Aug 2020 05:45 PM PDT Researchers highlight the need to understand the different environmental conditions that affect the surface chemistry of viruses like SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease COVID-19. |
| What violin synchronization can teach us about better networking in complex times Posted: 11 Aug 2020 05:45 PM PDT A new study suggests by using a model of violin synchronization in a network of violin players, there are ways to drown out distractions and miscommunications that could be used as a model for human networks in society. |
