P53's five-hour rhythm may let resonance target gene networks on command
Can networks of genes be stimulated using resonance? Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute are investigating whether the protein p53, which activates a range...
Study shows gains in preschoolers' executive function with additional teacher training
Research shows that when preschool teachers participate in professional learning workshops and ongoing coaching with experienced early childhood educators, stud...
New methods make tracking individual bird species during migration possible
Researchers at Cornell Lab of Ornithology, University of Massachusetts and University of Illinois have developed breakthrough methods to track the migration of...
Wheat root compounds suppress soil microbes, helping retain nitrogen and cut emissions
On a quiet weekend morning in a greenhouse in Aarhus University Flakkebjerg, rows of wheat plants stand with their roots submerged in clear water. There is no s...
Antibody-guided nanoparticles target blood cancer cells in bone marrow
New research co-led by Indiana University School of Medicine scientists presents a significant step toward more precise and effective cancer treatments by using...
Custom protein binders zero in on near-identical disease targets with unprecedented selectivity
In the human body, the boundary between health and severe illness can be microscopic. For decades, molecular scientists have grappled with a frustrating biologi...
Degradable sensors reveal hidden soil secrets after microbes nibble on them
New degradable sensors could reveal insights into the secret—yet essential—microscopic life in soil. The sensors, which are being developed by soil scientists a...
Lab-created 'moon' rock could help scientists interpret lunar data and explore how water might form on the moon
The moon may look unchanged from afar, but its surface is constantly reshaped by microscopic impacts and a steady stream of particles from the sun, a process kn...
Low-copper paints matched high-copper rivals, while silicone performed best against fouling
When comparing different types of antifouling paints against fouling on leisure boats, the results were the opposite of what many would expect. Of the paints te...
Novel catalyst design boosts solar-driven ammonia production under mild conditions
Sunlight, water, air and metal-organic catalysts—that could be all it takes. TU Wien has shown how catalyst design can be advanced for solar-driven NH3 synthesi...
Hurricane rainfall and landslide risk are on the rise in Southern California
Climate change could make historically rare tropical storms in Southern California produce significantly more precipitation in the next few decades, and when th...
Global warming hit 1.37°C in 2025, with Earth accumulating heat at an accelerating rate
Strong and consistent evidence shows that the entire climate system is continuing to heat, driving rapid global warming. Human activities pushed global warming...
