| Climate change challenge: Terminology used by scientists confounds public Posted: 26 Aug 2021 02:02 PM PDT A new study finds that U.S. residents struggle to understand terms frequently used by scientists to describe climate change. |
| Old habit-controlling neurons may also help the brain learn new tricks Posted: 26 Aug 2021 02:01 PM PDT In a study of rodents, scientists discovered that a part of the brain traditionally thought to control typing the old sequence may also play a critical role in learning the new one. The results suggest that this process involves a delicate balance in the activity of two neighboring neural circuits: one dedicated to new actions and the other to old habits. |
| AI algorithm solves structural biology challenges Posted: 26 Aug 2021 02:01 PM PDT Researchers develop machine learning methods that accurately predict the 3D shapes of drug targets and other important biological molecules, even when only limited data is available. |
| Growth-promoting, anti-aging retinal at the root of plant growth too Posted: 26 Aug 2021 02:01 PM PDT What do frog eggs have in common with 'anti-aging' creams? Their success depends on a group of chemical compounds called retinoids, which are capable of generating and re-generating tissues. A new study in plants shows that retinoids' tissue-generating capacities are also responsible for the appropriate development of roots. |
| Highly conductive and elastic nanomembrane for skin electronics Posted: 26 Aug 2021 02:01 PM PDT Skin electronics require stretchable conductors that satisfy metal-like conductivity, high stretchability, ultrathin thickness, and ease of patternability, but it is challenging to achieve these characteristics simultaneously. The researchers developed a new float assembly method to fabricate a nanomembrane that satisfies all these requirements simultaneously. The exceptional material properties are attributed to its unique cross-sectional structure in which a monolayer of compactly assembled nanomaterials is partially embedded in an ultrathin elastomer membrane. |
| Your sense of smell may be the key to a balanced diet Posted: 26 Aug 2021 02:01 PM PDT When we smell food, we are more likely to eat -- but new findings suggest eating food also impacts our sense of smell, which could bias what we eat next. Imaging shows that brain's response to odors similar to a recent meal is less 'food-like' than its response to a different food odor. Interplay between smell and food intake may have evolutionary benefit in helping humans diversify diet |
