Researchers defend the existence of a controversial semiconductor against claims of data inconsistencies. By presenting X-ray and spectroscopic evidence, they argue the material can be reliably synthesised in ambient lab conditions.
A randomised laboratory study utilised EEG to observe how repetitive negative thinking impacts the brain's reward processing. The findings indicate that induced rumination actively suppresses neural responses to positive feedback, particularly in those with severe depressive symptoms.
A pre-clinical study reveals that telmisartan, a common hypertension medication, protects rats from the cognitive decline associated with lack of sleep. By modulating specific protein pathways, the drug appears to shield the hippocampus from biochemical stress.
Researchers are attempting to eliminate complex external filters by integrating polarisation sensitivity directly into detector materials. This review evaluates the operating principles of organic and perovskite-based sensors and outlines the roadmap required to supersede traditional optical assemblies.
As climate change forces marine ecosystems to shift, static conservation maps are becoming obsolete. A new framework proposes a rigorous method to ensure ocean planning adapts to these fluid, warming realities.
Researchers have demonstrated the ability to print solid, complex microstructures inside live cells using two-photon polymerisation. This technique enables the insertion of functional components, such as tracking barcodes and microlasers, directly into the cytosol.
Researchers used dynamic MRI analysis to observe how brains transition between different states of connectivity. They found that in individuals with obesity, the brain is less flexible, tending to get 'stuck' in specific network patterns rather than switching fluidly, a trait that correlates with uncontrolled eating.
Researchers have identified 1D edge modes in the binary compound NdBi, offering a cleaner platform for studying quantum states than previous disordered materials. Using spin-polarized microscopy, the study reveals that these modes exist at magnetic domain walls and vanish when the material warms above its Néel temperature.
The Italian National Institute of Health has ratified updated GRADE-based protocols mandating visceral fat measurement alongside BMI. These directives establish a legal and clinical framework prioritising cognitive-behavioural lifestyle interventions before escalating to pharmacological or surgical options.
New research reveals that cumulative rainfall deficits increase ocean salinity, creating a feedback loop that intensifies and prolongs La Niña events. This 'salt memory' allows the climate phenomenon to strengthen significantly in its second year.
A new computational analysis identifies Asgard archaea as the primary genetic architects of the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor, relegating the mitochondrial ancestor to a specific energy role. The study suggests complex cellular structures evolved prior to the acquisition of the mitochondrion.
Researchers review how the linewidth of field emission resonance serves as a chronometer for electron lifetimes within scanning tunnelling microscope junctions. The findings reveal that while some surfaces trap electrons in quantum states, others, like graphite, physically deform under the electric field.
A new study reveals how the mouse germline prevents transposons from hiding in dense DNA regions. By anchoring the protein SPOCD1 to the nuclear pore component TPR, the cell ensures its defence machinery remains active and accessible.
Scientists have synthesised a hierarchical hybrid catalyst capable of rapid electron transfer, offering a powerful new platform for breaking down persistent environmental pollutants. The material combines accessible surface layers with gold nanoparticles for enhanced efficiency.
Researchers have synthesised a new asymmetric lithium salt, LiC6,6TFSI, which restricts anion mobility to boost lithium-ion transport. This molecular modification addresses the inefficiencies of standard electrolytes, offering a path toward more durable solid-state batteries.
Legume crops are vital for sustainable agriculture but have historically resisted genetic modification due to biological recalcitrance. A new review details how advanced editing tools and AI are finally bridging the gap between genomic knowledge and field application.
