Rock climbing envisioned as new treatment for depression
UA researcher Eva-Maria Stelzer and Katharina Luttenberger of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg led a team that involved more than 100 individuals in a bouldering intervention in Germany, where some hospitals
Studying children at increased risk of suicide
Children and young people admitted to hospital in England with injuries related to self-harming, drugs or alcohol faced an increased risk of killing themselves over the following 10 years, according
Chemists synthesize molecular pretzels
The Nature Communication article is the crowning achievement of a five-year research effort at the Synthetic Organic Chemistry research group of professor Jan van Maarseveen, with PhD student Luuk Stemers
Toward mass-producible quantum computers
But practical, diamond-based quantum computing devices will require the ability to position those defects at precise locations in complex diamond structures, where the defects can function as qubits, the basic

Gray matter density increases during adolescence, study finds
A new study published by Penn Medicine researchers this month and featured on the cover of the Journal of Neuroscience may help resolve this puzzle, revealing that while volume indeed
Designer viruses stimulate the immune system to fight cancer
Most cancer cells only provoke a limited reaction from the immune system — the body’s defense mechanism — and can thus grow without appreciable resistance. By contrast, viral infections cause
Atomic-scale imaging improves dating of planetary events
The study, published in Nature Communications, uses a new atomic-scale imaging approach to locate and count individual atoms in planetary materials. Directly linking the structure and chemistry of minerals in
Cannabidiol reduces seizures in children with severe epilepsy
“Seizures in Dravet syndrome are extremely difficult to control and they can be deadly,” says study co-author Linda Laux, MD, from Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute at Ann Robert H.

Where rivers meet the sea: Harnessing energy generated when freshwater meets saltwater
“The goal of this technology is to generate electricity from where the rivers meet the ocean,” said Christopher Gorski, assistant professor in environmental engineering at Penn State. “It’s based on
Marine species distribution shifts will continue under ocean warming
The findings, reported in Progress in Oceanography, suggest ocean temperature will continue to play a major role in where commercially and recreationally important species will find suitable habitat. Sea surface
New genomic analysis promises benefit in female urinary incontinence
Pelvic floor disorders, including urinary incontinence, but also faecal incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, have a devastating effect on quality of life. Most commonly they occur after childbirth, or at
Genomics tracks migration from lost empires to modern cities
Until recently, assumptions about origins were based on where people were buried. “However, this does not take into account the migrations which we now know took place thousands of years
