Whether for cooking, heating, as a light source or for making tools – it is assumed that fire was essential for the survival of people in the Ice Age. However, it is puzzling that hardly any well-preserved evidence of fireplaces from the coldest period of the Ice Age in Europe has been found so far.
A simple method of brain stimulation has been shown to change how people make decisions. These were the findings of a new study by the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), which was published in the "Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience". The investigation used transcranial direct current stimulation, which is an established method in research and therapy.
A new study has shed unprecedented light on the highly variable and climate-sensitive routes that substances from Siberian rivers use to travel across the Arctic Ocean. The findings raise fresh concerns about the increasing spread of pollutants and the potential consequences for fragile polar ecosystems as climate change accelerates.
Powerful enzyme could enable advances in chemical manufacturing and pollution cleanup
A team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), presents new details of an oceanic transform fault at the Gofar fault in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The NSF funded work reveals unexpected brine deposits beneath the seafloor near the fault, which could change the way we conceptualize oceanic transform faults.
University of Rhode Island animal science and technology majors are working on conservation efforts for the imperiled New England cottontail rabbit, considered a vulnerable species in the region because of their decreasing population. The students are helping efforts at Providence’s Roger Williams Park Zoo.
A new autonomous drone system could provide ecologists with deeper insights into animal behavior in the wild, a study suggests.
The sigma meson exists only for a fleeting moment before decaying into a pair of pions, making it hard to study. Nuclear physicists recently combined modern supercomputer calculations with more traditional theoretical tools to study the sigma meson, producing the first accurate theoretical view of the sigma as a system of quarks and gluons. This will aid in understanding the role the sigma meson plays in proton-neutron interactions and other phenomena.
The April 2025 issue of FASEB BioAdvances delves into the effects of global warming on obesity, innovative treatments for hypertension and kidney injury, gene recombination in neural tissues, and the future of precision medicine through AI and biomedical informatics.
