Scientists may have found a pill for sleep apnea

A medication called sulthiame may help people with obstructive sleep apnea breathe more easily during the night and sleep better overall. The findings come from a European clinical trial in which the University of Gothenburg played an important role. Researchers say the results raise the possibility of a drug treatment…

Scientists discover tiny plant trick that could supercharge crop yields

An international team of scientists has uncovered a surprising molecular strategy used by a rare group of land plants. The finding could one day help researchers redesign important crops such as wheat and rice so they convert sunlight into food far more efficiently. The research was led by scientists at…

Ocean warming may supercharge a tiny microbe that controls marine nutrients

Rising ocean temperatures driven by marine heat waves and climate change are reaching deep waters, raising concerns about disruptions to the ocean’s fragile chemical and biological systems. But new research suggests that a key marine microbe, Nitrosopumilus maritimus, may already be adjusting to warmer and more nutrient-poor conditions. Scientists believe…

A massive asteroid hit the North Sea and triggered a 330-foot tsunami

A long running scientific dispute about the origin of the Silverpit Crater beneath the southern North Sea has now been settled. New research shows that the structure formed when an asteroid or comet struck the region roughly 43 to 46 million years ago. The investigation was led by Dr. Uisdean…

Cannabis study finds THC can create false memories

Smoking cannabis may do more than make memories fuzzy. It may actually alter how memories form and are recalled. A new study from Washington State University found that people who consumed THC were more likely to recall words that were never shown to them and had more trouble completing everyday…

A particle accelerator helped scientists create stunning 3D ants

For more than ten years, Evan Economo’s lab has relied on micro CT scanners to image insect specimens. These X ray scans allow scientists to examine the physical structure and form of insects, an area of research known as morphology. Although the technique provides extremely detailed 3D data, it is…

The 19th-century mathematical clue that led to quantum mechanics

Yet Hamilton’s reputation during his lifetime was built on work he completed much earlier. In the 1820s and early 1830s, while still in his twenties, he created powerful new mathematical methods for analyzing the paths of light rays (or “geometric optics”) and the motion of physical objects (“mechanics”). One particularly…

Scientists turn scrap car aluminum into high-performance metal for new vehicles

Over the next decade, a large amount of aluminum from vehicle body panels is expected to enter recycling and salvage systems. Much of this material cannot currently be reused in critical automotive components because contamination makes it too impure. That limitation has reduced its value. Researchers at the Department of…

Netanyahu: ‘Il lavoro non è finito’. Teheran minaccia Trump – Notizie – Ansa.it

“Con l’Iran non abbiamo ancora finito”: Benyamin Netanyahu ha stroncato sul nascere le speranze della comunità internazionale dopo l’ultima uscita di Donald Trump che, parlando di una guerra “praticamente conclusa”, aveva provocato ricadute positive sulle borse ed i listini del petrolio. Le affermazioni del tycoon sono state ricalibrate anche dal…

AI finally tests a century old theory about how cancer begins

The human body depends on carefully organized genetic instructions that guide how cells grow and function. Cancer can begin when those instructions become disrupted. Over time, cells may accumulate genetic mistakes that allow them to escape the normal controls that limit growth and division. One of the earliest warning signs…

Scientists discover molecule that stops aggressive breast cancer in its tracks

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have developed a new molecule that may open the door to treating difficult cases of triple-negative breast cancer, a particularly aggressive form of the disease that currently has few effective treatment options. In a study published in the journal Cell Reports Medicine, the…
