Capturing a cosmogenic isotope to determine the age of artifacts
You may probably wonder how archaeologists determine the age of ancient artifacts or how long a piece of rock exists above the surface. Isotopic dating can tell the age covering hundreds of thousands of years. For instance, common carbon isotope 14C.....»»
Thermal fluctuations and oscillation modes found to determine the uptake of bacteria in cells
How and with what effort does a bacterium—or a virus—enter a cell and cause an infection? Researchers from Freiburg have now made an important contribution to answering this question......»»
Feds looking at Goldman Sachs" Apple Card business unit

New method can determine how much a predatory fish eats, which can contribute to more sustainable fishing
Imagine that in the future, we know exactly how many fish we can catch without negatively impacting either the stock of predatory fish or their prey—and that we can actually regulate the amount of fish if an excess of, say, cod suddenly occurs in a.....»»
Using cancer cells as logic gates to determine what makes them move
Cancer cells migrate through the body for multiple reasons; some are simply following the flow of a fluid, while others are actively following specific chemical trails. So how do you determine which cells are moving and why? Purdue University researc.....»»
Study explores control options for black swallowwort
Black swallowwort is a difficult to control invasive vine that thrives in natural areas and perennial cropping systems across northeastern North America. To date, though, no scientific studies have been conducted to determine how the weed responds to.....»»
Tracking the elusive and shifting identities of the global fishing fleet
A new study published today in Science Advances combines a decade's worth of satellite vessel tracking data with identification information from more than 40 public registries to determine where and when vessels responsible for most of the world's in.....»»
Standard reference cantilevers for atomic force microscopy spring constant calibration
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a popular technique for interrogating surfaces on the micro and nano scales. The most common use for AFM is imaging; however, there are a variety of more specialized AFM techniques that can be used to determine electr.....»»
Researchers find persistent gender gap among scientific editors
To determine the representation of women among scientific journal editors—key players in the scientific community who have the final say about what papers get published—a team led by NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) researchers has completed the largest stu.....»»
Why automakers increasingly prefer total BMS solutions
Battery management systems (BMS) are playing a crucial role in monitoring driving range, battery health, charging efficiency, safety and cost structure for EVs, and accuracy performance and algorithm will determine the competitiveness for BMS chip so.....»»
Vivo X90 Pro camera test: Dimensity 9200 shows off its power
For the past few years, Vivo has been one of the leaders in smartphone photography, delivering a handful of devices that are capable of capturing incredible photos and videos. While much of the credit does to the high-end sensors and lenses that Vivo.....»»
Using a standardized test battery to determine the smartest breed of dog
A team of researchers affiliated with multiple institutions in Finland has used a variety of standardized tests combined into a battery to determine which dog breed is the overall smartest. In their paper published in Scientific Reports, the group de.....»»
Cubes outperform spheres as catalyst particles
To date, nanoparticles as catalysts for green hydrogen have been like rowers in an eight: researchers could only measure their average performance, but couldn't determine which one was the best. This has now changed following the development of a new.....»»

Study reveals average age at conception for men versus women over past 250,000 years
The length of a specific generation can tell us a lot about the biology and social organization of humans. Now, researchers at Indiana University can determine the average age that women and men had children throughout human evolutionary history with.....»»
New approach to epidemic modeling could speed up pandemic simulations
Simulations that help determine how a large-scale pandemic will spread can take weeks or even months to run. A recent study in PLOS Computational Biology offers a new approach to epidemic modeling that could drastically speed up the process......»»
Stem cell model allows researchers to explore the earliest stages of sex determination in mice and humans
During embryonic development, two different cascades of genetic signals determine whether the embryo's primordial gonad will become testes or ovaries, and thus whether the embryo will develop into a male or a female. Disruptions in this process cause.....»»
Sizing up competition based on sensitivity to pain
Before any physical conflict, people assess their opponent's features to determine if the ideal tactical response is to fight, flee or attempt to negotiate......»»
sPHENIX assembly update: Magnet mapped, detectors prepared
