| Nova explosions alone cannot explain amount of lithium in current universe Posted: 07 Jul 2021 08:24 AM PDT A new study of lithium production in a classical nova found a production rate of only a couple of percent that seen in other examples. This shows that there is a large diversity within classical novae and implies that nova explosions alone cannot explain the amount of lithium seen in the current Universe. This is an important result for understanding both the explosion mechanism of classical novae and the overall chemical evolution of the Universe. |
| Mucus and mucins may become the medicine of the future Posted: 07 Jul 2021 08:24 AM PDT The body is filled with mucus that keeps track of the bacteria. Now, researchers present a method for producing artificial mucus. They hope that the artificial mucus, which consists of sugary molecules, may help to develop completely new, medical treatments. |
| New clues to why there's so little antimatter in the universe Posted: 07 Jul 2021 08:23 AM PDT New research shows radioactive molecules are sensitive to subtle nuclear phenomena. The molecules might help physicists probe violation of the most fundamental symmetries of nature, including why the universe contains relatively little antimatter. |
| There's a 'man in the moon': Why our brains see human faces everywhere Posted: 06 Jul 2021 04:16 PM PDT Whether you see an angry face in a tree trunk or even the presence of Jesus Christ in toasted cheese, until now scientists haven't understood exactly what the brain is doing when it processes visual signals and interprets them as representations of the human face. |
