(Tata Institute of Fundamental Research) The primary cause of climate change is atmospheric CO2, whose levels are rising every day. There is, therefore, a great need to find ways to reduce CO2 levels. On other hand, an e...

A tailored layer of plasmonic nanoparticles can be introduced into the epoxy casing of a light-emitting diode (LED) to improve the device's light output, to benefit energy savings and boost the LED lifetime. In a new rep...

Researchers sought to determine whether a comprehensive and personalized program, designed to mitigate risk factors of Alzheimer's disease could improve cognitive and metabolic function in individuals experiencing cognit...

When college students learn specific techniques for managing stress and anxiety, their well-being improves across a range of measures and leads to better mental health, a new study finds.

Study reports success in treating cognitive decline and memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease with the aid of personalized precision medicine.

Researchers have been able to dial up and down creatures' lifespans by altering the activity of proteins found in roundworm cells that tell them to convert sugar into energy when their cellular energy is running low. Hum...

New research has found that paying greater attention to internal bodily sensations can increase our appreciation of our own bodies.

Dark energy is one of the greatest mysteries in science today. We know very little about it, other than it is invisible, it fills the whole universe, and it pushes galaxies away from each other. This is making our cosmos...

Not only does the fungus Massospora infect cicadas, eat their bodies and turn them into mind-controlled zombies, it forces them to attract more cicada victims.

Measures taken by the camp were not enough to prevent an outbreak.

Both food timing and the integrity of the internal clock in the liver altered rhythms of metabolism in mice. Almost half of the rhythmic genes are regulated by both the internal clock and when food is ingested.

Most of the study participants had mild or moderate COVID-19 symptoms and were not hospitalized.

The act of remapping an area can be mathematically modeled as probabilistic reasoning in rodents.

High resolution imaging reveals the human cerebellum is 80% of the area of the cortex. The findings indicate this area of the brain likely grew larger as human behavior and cognition evolved.

For 300 years we've assumed sperm swim by beating their tails symmetrically, but in reality sperm rotate like a corkscrew while beating their tails asymmetrically

Although solar panels are a source of renewable energy, making them has an environmental impact. A new type of panel has a lower carbon footprint than traditional silicon ones

Obesity risk in teens appears to be associated with stronger connectivity within and between regions of the brain implicated in determining the salience of stimuli. This may have implications for reward processing. Resea...

Study reports that almost 30% of women and 17% of men experience major depressive disorder episodes over the course of their lives.

The fields of condensed matter physics and materials science are intimately linked because new physics is often discovered in materials with special arrangements of atoms. Crystals, which have repeating units of atoms in...

A new human brain atlas features 250 structurally distinct areas, each based on the analysis of ten brains. Over 2400 brain sections were digitalized and assembled in 3D to create the new map.

The 28-year-old has a good outlook for recovery, her surgeon said.
