Researchers find HERC1 protein deficiency causes osteopenia
Bones remain healthy thanks to the fact that they are continuously remodeling, a process dependent on the balance between the activity of osteoblasts—cells that create bone tissue—and the osteoclasts, which reabsorb it. An imbalance between these.....»»

Hubble and Webb are the dream team—don"t break them up, researchers say
Many people think of the James Webb Space Telescope as a sort of Hubble 2. They understand that the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has served us well but is now old and overdue for replacement. NASA seems to agree, as they have not sent a maintenance m.....»»
The mechanics of ovulation: Study explains how muscle-like fibers help eggs squeeze out from follicle
Eggs pop out of ovaries. But what propels them has been unknown. Now, researchers from the University of Connecticut explain in an article published in the September 18 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that tiny, muscle-li.....»»
Deaf male mosquitoes don"t mate, researchers discover
Romance is a complex affair in humans. There's personality, appearance, seduction, all manner of physical and social cues. Mosquitoes are much more blunt. Mating occurs for a few seconds in midair. And all it takes to woo a male is the sound of a fem.....»»
Cracking the code to copper"s fiery origins

Archaic dolphin could hear high frequency sounds
A team of researchers led by SNSB paleontologist Gertrud Rößner has discovered a new prehistoric dolphin species. Analyses of its inner ear confirm that this dolphin had excellent hearing abilities in the high-frequency range, which is very similar.....»»
A human topological insulator: Researchers use choreographed dance to explain quantum materials
Science can be difficult to explain to the public. In fact, any subfield of science can be difficult to explain to another scientist who studies in a different area. Explaining a theoretical science concept to high school students requires a new way.....»»
Mapping the maze where the IRS could find billions in unpaid taxes
In 2021, the difference between what U.S. taxpayers owed the federal government and what they paid hit nearly $700 billion. This "tax gap" has been growing for years while the Internal Revenue Service's budget has shrunk, declining by 18% between 201.....»»
Ensuring a bright future for diamond electronics and sensors by perfecting the growth process
Researchers are developing new ideas about the best ways to make lab-grown diamonds while minimizing other forms of carbon, such as soot. These diamonds aren't destined for rings and necklaces, though. These are the kinds that are needed for the comp.....»»
A single atom can change the directional profile of the light emitted in scanning tunneling microscopes
Researchers from Madrid explain a phenomenon that allows the direction of light emission to be controlled at the atomic scale. The paper provides a detailed explanation of how the profile of the light collected in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM.....»»
Researchers uncover focal adhesions as subcellular signaling hubs in PI3K-AKT pathway
