Researchers at the University of Cambridge decided that concentrated farming that allows for natural habitats is preferable to environmentally friendly agribusiness. Based on the study findings, concentrated farming with the highest possible yields is the most effective agricultural method. This means that farming can be limited to smaller regions, allowing more space to be left...
A human embryo in the lab at 9 days after fertilisation. The hypoblast (a group of cells outside the main embryo) sends a message to the embryo that initiates the development of the head-to-tail body axis. Using immunofluorescence analysis, the hypoblast is shown in green – these cells are asymmetrically distributed. A cavity is...
Credit: GERARD SOURY/THE IMAGE BANK/GETTY IMAGES Around 19 million years ago, something horrible happened to sharks. Fossils amassed from sediments in the Pacific Ocean reveal a previously unidentified and shocking shark extinction event. During this event, the populations of the predators abruptly dropped by as much as 90 percent, researchers report in the journal Science on June 4....
Scientists have collected evidence of local symmetry breaking in a quantum material upon heating. They believe these local states are associated with electronic orbitals that serve as orbital degeneracy lifting (ODL) "precursors" to the titanium (Ti) dimers (two molecules linked together) formed when the material is cooled to low temperature. (Electron orbitals are considered...
An international group of scientists made a tiny chemistry lab for a rover that will drill below the Martian surface, searching for previous or existing life signs. For ExoMars Reconnaissance is a joint venture involving the European Space Agency and the Russian aerospace company Roscosmos. NASA made a significant contribution to MOMA, the laboratory...
Researchers boost their recently developed quantum algorithm, bringing it to one-tenth the computational price of Quantum Phase Estimation, and also utilize it to directly compute the vertical ionization energies of light atoms as well as molecules such as CO, O2, CN, F2, H2O, NH3 within 0.1 electron volts of accuracy. OSAKA, Japan. Quantum computers have...
Credit: Getty Images Research led by scientists at the University of Toronto highlights the considerable damages that can be triggered by common teeth-whitening agents. Published just recently in Nature Scientific Reports, the study assessed the dental cell damage caused by carbamide peroxide teeth-whitening remedies. It found that a suggested application of only 10 percent carbamide peroxide gel...
Via SmilesDrs.com Regenerative Dentistry Breakthrough Researchers at King's College London have developed a biological therapy that could revolutionize the way damaged teeth are treated. The therapy, which involves the use of a small molecule drug called Tideglusib, has been shown to stimulate the stem cells inside teeth, encouraging them to regenerate damaged tissue. Tooth decay and trauma...
In 1934, Eugene Wigner, a pioneer of quantum mechanics, theorized of an odd sort of matter-- a crystal made from electrons. The idea was very straightforward, proving it had not been. With limited success, physicists tried many tricks over eighty years to nudge electrons right into forming these so-called Wigner crystals. However, in June,...
In a paper released in Nature Communications, the research study team describes the complicated physical processes working to recognize the chemistry of ice formation. The molecular-level viewpoint of this process may assist in forecasting the formation and melting of ice, from singular crystals to glaciers and ice sheets. The latter is essential to measure...
