‘Halos’ discovered on Mars widen time frame for potential life
“The concentration of silica is very high at the centerlines of these halos,” said Jens Frydenvang, a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of Copenhagen and lead
Remembrance of things past: Bacterial memory of gut inflammation
In order to use bacteria of the microbiome as biomarker sensors, their genome needs to be modified with synthetic genetic circuits, or a set of genes that work together to
‘Heat island’ effect could double climate change costs for world’s cities
The study by an international team of economists of all the world’s major cities is the first to quantify the potentially devastating combined impact of global and local climate change
Lawn mower injuries send 13 children to the emergency department every day
The most common types of lawn mower injuries were cuts (39%) and burns (15%). The hand/finger was the most commonly injured body region, followed by the leg, feet and toes.
Subduing the rebellion: Unmasking rogue cells in the immune system
Most of the current treatments against auto-immune diseases require to shut down major parts of the immune system, inhibiting desirable immune responses and, leaving the patient vulnerable to potentially life-threatening
Corals in peril at a popular Hawaiian tourist destination due to global climate change
Researchers from the Coral Reef Ecology Lab at the Hawai’i Institute of Marine Biology documented the third global bleaching event as it occurred from 2014 to 2016 at the Hanauma
Connecting the dots between dreams and brain disease
Since the 1960s, the brainstem has been known to be involved in controlling the act of dreaming during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. Dr. Peever has since found the cells
Toward an hiv cure: Team develops test to detect hidden virus
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public Health announced in Nature Medicine that they’ve created a test sensitive enough to detect “hidden” HIV, and yet is faster,
Some heart attack patients may not benefit from beta blockers
The study — by a research team at the University of Leeds — looked at patients who had a heart attack but did not suffer heart failure — a complication
Graphene and quantum dots put in motion a CMOS-integrated camera that can see the invisible
However, the diversification of this platform into applications other than microcircuits and visible light cameras has been impeded by the difficulty to combine semiconductors other than silicon with CMOS. This
Camera on NASA’s Lunar Orbiter survived 2014 meteoroid hit
LROC is a system of three cameras mounted on the LRO spacecraft. Two Narrow Angle Cameras (NACs) capture high resolution black and white images. The third Wide Angle Camera captures
How dinosaurs may have evolved into birds
The international group of researchers analyzed the genomes of 48 avian species that represent the evolutionary history of modern birds and compared them to many other vertebrates to find DNA
Novel treatment for improving leather recovery performance
The recovery property of leather after being stretched or bent will decrease over time because of intermolecular interaction, such as hydrogen bonding between collagen fibers. The current methods to improve
Sensing insole for footstrike pattern detection in runners
The annual injury risk for regular runners is up to 80%. It is largely related to how runner’s foot hits the ground. Emerging evidence suggests that heel or forefoot strike
