That is the conclusion of a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in Kidney International. Based on these findings, researchers…

Endangered sea turtles hear ship noise loud and clear

Kemp’s ridley sea turtles rank among the most endangered sea turtle species on the planet. They live along the East Coast and Gulf Coast of North America, sharing these waters with some of the busiest shipping routes in the world. Scientists already know that fishing gear, pollution, and ship strikes…

Scientists just mapped the mutations that power cancer growth

Scientists have built a detailed map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a major cancer gene affect tumor growth. The research offers a clearer picture of how small genetic changes can lead to very different cancer behaviors. The work centers on CTNNB1, a gene responsible for producing the protein…

The analysis suggests that about five additional people survived…

This ultra-thin surface controls light in two completely different ways

Broadband achromatic wavefront control is a key requirement for next-generation optical technologies, including full-color imaging and multi-spectral sensing. Researchers led by Professor Yijun Feng and Professor Ke Chen at Nanjing University have now reported a major advance in this area in PhotoniX. Their work introduces a hybrid-phase cooperative dispersion-engineering approach…

Two-month-old babies are already making sense of the world

New research from neuroscientists at Trinity College Dublin shows that babies as young as two months old can already organize what they see into distinct object categories. This ability appears far earlier than scientists previously believed and suggests that important building blocks of perception are present almost from the very…
