Evidence of prehistoric human activity in Falkland Islands — ScienceDaily
Since its first recorded sighting by European explorers in the 1600s, scientists and historians have believed that Europeans were the first people to ever set foot on the Falkland Islands. Findings from a new University of Maine-led study, however, suggests otherwise; that human activity on the islands predates European arrival […]
Living descendant of Sitting Bull confirmed by analysis of DNA from the legendary leader’s hair. — ScienceDaily
A man’s claim to be the great-grandson of legendary Native American leader Sitting Bull has been confirmed using DNA extracted from Sitting Bull’s scalp lock. This is the first time ancient DNA has been used to confirm a familial relationship between living and historical individuals. The confirmation was made possible […]
Astronomers discover massive galaxy ‘shipyard’ in the distant universe — ScienceDaily
Even galaxies don’t like to be alone. While astronomers have known for a while that galaxies tend to congregate in groups and clusters, the process of going from formation to friend groups has remained an open question in cosmology. In a paper published in the Astronomy & Astrophysics Journal, an […]
Mangrove trees use changes in gene activity, including the activity of parasitic ‘jumping genes’, to increase their resilience to stress, a new study finds. — ScienceDaily
Mangrove trees straddle the boundary between land and ocean, in harsh environments characterized by rapidly changing levels of salinity and low oxygen. For most plants, these conditions would mark a death sentence, but mangroves have evolved a remarkable resistance to the stresses of these hostile locations. Now, researchers from the […]
Scientists explains signaling mechanism between astrocyte cells and neurons that regulates synaptic development — ScienceDaily
Brain cells called astrocytes play a key role in helping neurons develop and function properly, but there’s still a lot scientists don’t understand about how astrocytes perform these important jobs. Now, a team of scientists led by Associate Professor Nicola Allen has found one way that neurons and astrocytes work […]
New synthesis process paves way for more efficient lasers, LEDs — ScienceDaily
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new process that makes use of existing industry standard techniques for making III-nitride semiconductor materials, but results in layered materials that will make LEDs and lasers more efficient. III-nitride semiconductor materials are wide-bandgap semiconductors that are of particular interest in optic […]
Novel theorem demonstrates convolutional neural networks can always be trained on quantum computers, overcoming threat of ‘barren plateaus’ in optimization problems — ScienceDaily
Convolutional neural networks working on quantum computer systems have produced considerable buzz for their potential to review quantum details greater than classical personal computers can. When a fundamental solvability problem recognised as “barren plateaus” has restricted the application of these neural networks for significant info sets, new investigate overcomes that […]
Solar energy can be cheap and reliable across China by 2060 — ScienceDaily
At the impending UN Local climate Improve Convention in Glasgow, Scotland, much focus will be centered on China. As the world’s major CO2 emitter, China’s endeavours to decarbonize its strength method will be essential to the goal of restricting the increase in global regular surface temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius. […]
Researchers identify brain circuitry in rodents that may be responsible for negative emotional aspects of pain — ScienceDaily
A new study published today in Nature Neuroscience has uncovered neuronal circuitry in the brain of rodents that may play an important role in mediating pain-induced anhedonia — a decrease in motivation to perform reward-driven behaviors. In the study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of […]
Putting honeybee hives on solar parks could boost the value of UK agriculture — ScienceDaily
The value of UK agriculture could be boosted by millions of pounds a year if thousands of honeybee hives were deployed on solar parks across the country, a new study reveals. However, scientists caution that the benefits of managing solar parks for wild pollinators over honeybees should be prioritised where […]
