Acid coastal seas off US putting common fish species at risk Posted: 18 Aug 2018 08:58 AM PDT Scientists have shown that coastal waters and river estuaries can exhibit unique vulnerabilities to acidification than offshore waters. This acidification, detected in waters off the United States West Coast and the Gulf of Mexico, can lead to disorientation and cognitive problems in some marine fish species, such as salmon, sharks, and cod. |
World's first-ever 4D printing for ceramics Posted: 18 Aug 2018 08:58 AM PDT A ground-breaking advancement in materials research by successfully developing the world's first-ever 4D printing for ceramics, which are mechanically robust and can have complex shapes. This could turn a new page in the structural application of ceramics. |
Water-worlds are common: Exoplanets may contain vast amounts of water Posted: 18 Aug 2018 08:57 AM PDT Scientists have shown that water is likely to be a major component of those exoplanets (planets orbiting other stars) which are between two to four times the size of Earth. It will have implications for the search of life in our Galaxy. |
Making aquafeed more sustainable: Scientists develop feeds using a marine microalga co-product Posted: 18 Aug 2018 08:56 AM PDT Scientists have created a more sustainable feed for aquaculture by using a marine microalga co-product as a feed ingredient. The study is the first of its kind to evaluate replacing fishmeal with a co-product in feed designed specifically for Nile tilapia. |
Insight into development of lung cancer Posted: 18 Aug 2018 08:56 AM PDT Lung cancer results from effects of smoking along with multiple genetic components. A new study identifies two main pathways for the role of chromosome 15q25.1 -- a leader in increasing susceptibility to lung cancer -- in modifying disease risk. One pathway is implicated in nicotine dependence. The other plays a part in biological processes such as nutrient transfer and immune system function. The findings increase our understanding of lung cancer cause and development. |
Engineering team designs technology for smart materials Posted: 18 Aug 2018 08:56 AM PDT With inspiration from squid ring teeth, a multidisciplinary team has invented a novel way to manufacture smart materials, including fabrics, that can regulate their own thermal properties. |
Chemistry professor develops contaminant detection technique for heparin Posted: 18 Aug 2018 08:56 AM PDT In 2008, a contaminant eluded the quality safeguards in the pharmaceutical industry and infiltrated a large portion of the supply of the popular blood thinner heparin, sickening hundreds and killing about 100 in the US. |
A valley so low: Electrons congregate in ways that could be useful to 'valleytronics' Posted: 18 Aug 2018 08:56 AM PDT Researchers have made a finding that could help usher in new area of technology called 'valleytronics.' The study found that electrons in bismuth crystals prefer to collect in one valley rather than being distributed equally across valleys, setting up a type of electricity known as ferroelectricity. |
Perinatal hypoxia associated with long-term cerebellar learning deficits and Purkinje cell misfiring Posted: 18 Aug 2018 08:55 AM PDT The type of hypoxia that occurs with preterm birth is associated with locomotor miscoordination and long-term cerebellar learning deficits but can be partially alleviated with an off-the-shelf medicine, according to a study using a preclinical model. |
Students more likely to eat school breakfast when given extra time, new study finds Posted: 18 Aug 2018 08:55 AM PDT Using food weighting stations, the researchers collected information on the number of students who ate a school breakfast, how much they ate, and their exact nutritional intake. |
