A new study reveals how the duplication of the salivary amylase gene may not only have helped shape human adaptation to starchy foods, but may have occurred as far back as more than 800,000 years ago, long before the advent of farming. Read more ›

The foundation for healthy eating behavior starts in infancy. Young children learn to regulate their appetite through a combination of biological, psychological, and sociological factors. Researchers propose a model that explores these factors and their interactions, providing guidelines for better understanding childhood appetite self-regulation. Read more ›

Researchers developed HuBar, a visual analytics tool that summarizes and compares task performance sessions in augmented reality (AR) by analyzing performer behavior and cognitive workload. Using aviation as a case study, the research team demonstrated that HuBar provides insights into pilot behavior and mental states, helping researchers and trainers identify patterns, pinpoint areas of difficulty, and optimize AR-assisted training programs to improve learning outcomes and real-world performance.

Astronomers observed ancient quasars that appear to be surprisingly alone in the early universe. The findings challenge physicists' understanding of how such luminous objects could have formed so early on in the universe, without a significant source of surrounding matter to fuel their growth.

Researchers found a higher concentration of a specific kind of DNA -- extrachromosomal or ecDNA -- in more aggressive and advanced cancers that could mark them as targets for future therapies. They found significantly higher amounts of ecDNA in tumors from previously treated patients, leading to the theory that ecDNA might give a survival advantage to those tumors. Read more ›

Along coastal California, the possibility of earthquakes and landslides are commonly prefaced by the phrase, 'not if, but when.' This precarious reality is now a bit more predictable thanks to researchers who found that conditions known to cause slip along fault lines deep underground also lead to landslides above. Read more ›

Researchers have introduced a novel method for identifying the crucial set of gut microbes commonly found in humans and essential for health. The researchers said the discovery offers innovative opportunities for precision nutrition and personalized therapies aimed at managing chronic diseases associated with gut microbiome imbalances, including diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and cancer.

Researchers discovered they could boost survival to 92% for patients with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma by adding the immunotherapy nivolumab to a current treatment regimen. This is compared to 83% survival among patients who received standard care, after two years of follow-up. The study was designed to eliminate radiation, which can cause significant side effects and second cancers later in life. Researchers expect to see lower rates of breast cancer, infertility,...

It is just as safe and effective for people with HIV in need of kidney transplantation to get their organ from donors who are also HIV positive as it is from donors who are not infected with the virus, a study shows. Survival rates for organ recipients one and three years after the procedure were the same for donors with or without HIV. Read more ›

Atmospheric blocking events are persistent, high-impact weather patterns that occur when large-scale high-pressure systems become stationary and divert the jet stream and storm tracks for days to weeks, and can be associated with record-breaking flooding or heat waves, such as in Europe in 2023. Scientists used a deep learning model to infer the frequency of blocking events over the past 1,000 years and shed light on how future climate change... Read more ›

Researchers have unveiled a pioneering method for the efficient combustion of biofuels, using a revolutionary Swirl Burst (SB) injector to burn glycerol/methanol blends with near-zero emissions. This new technology enables ultra-clean combustion for fuels that are typically difficult to burn due to their high viscosity. Read more ›
