Many species of songbirds have evolved to have strikingly colorful plumage, aiding them in catching the eye of mates, signaling, and recognizing each other. These eye-catching patterns have long interested scientists, who ...
A team of researchers has recently developed a nondestructive imaging and machine learning system that accurately predicts the efficiency of stem cell differentiation into muscle stem cells. The team was led by Associate ...
A team of astronomers from Rhodes University and elsewhere have investigated a sample of 104 quasars detected with the MeerKAT International GHz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE) survey. The new study, published ...
The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain is central to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. But to the human eye, proteins that are destined to form harmful ...
Researchers have developed a novel method to detect and study how ice forms in mixed-phase clouds, significantly boosting scientists' ability to forecast weather and model climate change.
Neurovascular coupling (NVC) is the dynamic regulation of cerebral blood flow in response to neural activity. Specifically, when neurons become active, nearby blood vessels dilate to increase blood supply, thereby meeting ...
Black holes played a critical role in the formation of the early universe. However, astronomers have been debating for a long time just how critical, as the information we had about early black holes, which exist at high ...
Land surface temperature (LST) is a critical parameter for understanding Earth's energy balance and monitoring climate change. However, due to the limited spatial resolution of current satellite observations, LST measurements ...
Inside living cells, molecules are constantly on the move—binding, diffusing, interacting. An international competition, the 2nd AnDi Challenge, has now delivered a systematic comparison of analytical methods for single-molecule ...
A University of Colorado Denver engineer is on the cusp of giving scientists a new tool that can help them turn sci-fi into reality.
