Molecular code for melanin-like materials
To take advantage of these qualities, scientists across the City University of New York (CUNY) have developed a new approach for producing materials that not only mimic the properties of
Composition of Earth-size planets in TRAPPIST-1 system
“The goal of exoplanetary astronomy is to find planets that are similar to Earth in composition and potentially habitable,” said Quarles. “For thousands of years, astronomers have sought other worlds
How the brain recognizes what the eye sees
Now, Salk Institute researchers have analyzed how neurons in a critical part of the brain, called V2, respond to natural scenes, providing a better understanding of vision processing. The work
Where climate change is most likely to induce food violence
“A capable government is even more important to keeping the peace than good weather,” said Bear Braumoeller, co-author of the study and associate professor of political science at The Ohio
Tackling infectious disease, one protein at a time
But he is not in a hospital or field tent, taking vital signs or administering medications. Instead, Buchko the biochemist is in the laboratory, where the front line is the
Lost your appetite? Try inviting yourself to dinner
People rate food as tasting better, and eat more of it, when they eat with company than when they eat alone. This so-called “social facilitation of eating” is a well-established
From the somatic cell to the germ cell
In contrast to humans and animals, plants do not set aside a specialized cell lineage (germline) for the future production of gametes during early embryogenesis. Instead, the germ cells of
New approach in T-cell therapy to treat cancer
With numerous different entities and millions of people affected, cancer continues to be one of the most prevalent diseases around the world. Scientists are working to find new treatment possibilities,
Researchers identify gene that may play a central role in heart disease
The findings were published in the journal Science Advances. The study is the first to illuminate details of how this particular gene, which is called OBSCN, works in heart disease.

Bee buzzes could help determine how to save their decreasing population
“Causes of pollinator decline are complex and include diminishing flower resources, habitat loss, climate change, increased disease incidence and exposure to pesticides, so pinpointing the driving forces remains a challenge,”
Small climb in mean temperatures linked to far higher chance of deadly heat waves
This could have grim implications for the future, because mean temperatures are projected to rise by 2.2 to 5.5 degrees Celsius by the end of this century in the low-
New technique enables 3-D printing with paste of silicone particles in water
In a paper published this week in Advanced Materials, corresponding author Orlin Velev and colleagues show that, in a water medium, liquid silicone rubber can be used to form bridges
Rising sea levels will boost moderate floods in some areas, severe floods in others
The study by researchers at Princeton and Rutgers universities found that along the southeastern coast, where severe flooding due to hurricanes is relatively frequent, cities such as Charleston, South Carolina,
