| Neutron star collisions are 'goldmine' of heavy elements, study finds Posted: 25 Oct 2021 08:37 AM PDT Most elements lighter than iron are forged in the cores of stars, but scientists have puzzled over what could give rise to gold, platinum, and the rest of the universe's heavy elements. study finds that of two long-suspected sources of heavy metals, one of them -- a merger between two neutron stars -- is more of a goldmine than the other. |
| Vitamin D deficiency for the first time visible after cremation Posted: 25 Oct 2021 07:17 AM PDT The cremation process destroys a lot of information that can usually be obtained from the human skeleton. Especially diseases are difficult to observe. Researchers have now found a way to reveal some of the information. For the first time, they have succeeded in detecting vitamin D deficiency in cremated human remains. |
| Posted: 22 Oct 2021 02:15 PM PDT One of the youngest planets ever found around a distant infant star has been discovered by an international team of scientists. |
| VR experiment with rats offers new insights about how neurons enable learning Posted: 22 Oct 2021 06:41 AM PDT A new study provides deep insights into how the brain's hippocampus works, involving networks of millions of neurons. That knowledge could be an important step toward the development of treatments for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia and epilepsy, all of which are related to dysfunction in the hippocampus. |
| Skin-inspired sensors show how our body moves Posted: 21 Oct 2021 09:09 AM PDT Scientists have created wearable, stitchable, and sensitive sensors from flexible polymers and bundles of carbon fibre. Like our skin, these sensors respond to pressure and can measure body position and movement. They could be used to measure disease progress in Parkinson's disease, or sense joint movement in athletes, for example. |
