Sejong University researchers have developed a high-quality soybean with improved oxidative stability, reduced saturated fat and increased seed fatty acid content. The research team led by Hyun Uk Kim, a professor in…
Propolis may not only inhibit the growth of certain fungi but also affect the activity of drugs used to treat fungal infections. Researchers have investigated how an ethanolic extract of Polish propolis interacts with…
Telltale signs of financial abuse, such as depleted savings, increasing debts and declining credit scores, can be identified in bank records, according to an analysis of U.K. banking data published in Nature. The…
A researcher from Sejong University has used a new theory of gravity proposed by Erik Verlinde to predict the observed central surface density of dark matter. The study was published in Physics of the Dark Universe on…
The Compact Accelerator System for Performing Astrophysical Research (CASPAR) recreates conditions inside stars to study how elements are made. The experiment recently restarted with a new target—the ninth element on…
A team of Chilean and Spanish researchers has published the results of one of the longest-running in-situ warming experiments in maritime Antarctica in the journal Physiologia Plantarum. The experiment exposed the…
Scientists have shown that the two exponents (inelastic scattering exponent and dephasing exponent) commonly used to describe electron scattering in graphene do not necessarily follow the same behavior. Using gated…
On Oct. 25, 2024, 10 days before the election that would return Republican Donald Trump to the White House and more than three months after Kamala Harris ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket, ChatGPT was still…
Tuberculosis, or TB, is a contagious bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs. While curative treatments exist, more than 80% of cases occur in low- and middle-income nations, where drug-resistant strains…
New research from Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy examines charitable gifts of $1 million or more from 2021 to 2023. The Million-Dollar-Plus Giving in the United States, 2021–2023 report offers…
Every time a cell divides, its chromosomes must be distributed correctly between the two daughter cells. Central to this process is the centromere, a specialized region of the chromosome. The centromere serves as the…
Investing in cooling for Bangladesh's apparel factories can be commercially viable, with an average payback period of one to four years, according to new research from Cornell University's Global Labor Institute (GLI).
Take a second and turn it into trillions of moments. Measure each one. That's how precisely an atomic clock at Singapore's Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) keeps time—and with record-setting accuracy, according to…
An international collaboration led by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, has developed a labeling method that distinguishes fluorescent labels not by color but by how long it takes a dye to emit…
A new study conducted by the Climate Action Research Lab (CARL) at the University of Freiburg finds that electric cars and photovoltaic systems are less widespread on average in municipalities with strong support for…
A shape can be considered complex because it has many sides. A complex melody may feature varied pitches and rhythms. Does the mind treat these as separate features, or can it recognize something common beneath their…
New research from the University of California, Santa Cruz, in collaboration with other institutions, highlights the fragmented and staggered timing of warming increases across the planet, providing a nuanced…
When a glass of red wine arrives at the table, most drinkers make a snap judgment before taking a sip. Is the color deep enough? Does the hue suggest quality or raise a red flag?
Global warming is expected to cross the 1.5°C temperature threshold—the lower limit of the Paris Agreement temperature goal—within a handful of years. This temperature increase shows no signs of slowing, and on our…
Tropical army ants are known to form devastating armadas that march through forests eating other insects and small creatures. As they march, they deposit chemical trails of pheromones that others behind them sense and…
