DNA analyses show the plague may have caused the downfall of Stone Age farmers
Ancient DNA from bones and teeth hints at a role of the plague in Stone Age population collapse. Contrary to previous beliefs, the plague may have diminished Europe's populations long before the major plague outbreaks of the Middle Ages, new research.....»»
The geometry of life: Physicists determine what controls biofilm growth
From plaque sticking to teeth to scum on a pond, biofilms can be found nearly everywhere. These colonies of bacteria grow on implanted medical devices, our skin, contact lenses, and in our guts and lungs. They can be found in sewers and drainage syst.....»»

3D covalent organic frameworks with zyg topology for photocatalytic synthesis of hydrogen peroxide
A research team proposed a new synthetic strategy of COFs based on a new topology that remotely separates donor (D) and acceptor (A) units in 3D lattice to produce the expected metastable photo-induced charge-separated states......»»
Britain"s first AI politician claims he will bring trust back to politics—putting him to the test
Political parties often like to say their candidates are different from the rest, but Smarter UK's really is, because he isn't human—he's a creation of artificial intelligence (AI). The new political party believes its candidate, AI Steve, can put.....»»
Pregnant fish can also get "baby brain," but not the way that mammals do
New research reveals that pregnancy-related brain impairment is present in live-bearing fish, but instead of affecting learning and memory as expected from similar research on mammals, it appears to have a stronger impact on decision-making and senso.....»»
Racial resentment fueled Jan. 6 rebellion and opposition to House probe, scholars find
Americans are deeply divided over the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and it's widely assumed the split reflects our bitter partisan conflicts. But a new study co-authored at UC Berkeley suggests one source of division stronger than.....»»
Fossil places extinct saber-toothed cat on Texas coast
Important scientific finds don't always come in the biggest, buzziest packages. Sometimes new discoveries come in little ugly rocks. Such is the case of a 6-centimeter-wide, nondescript mass of bone and teeth that helped a scientist at The University.....»»
Q&A: How to make sustainable products faster with artificial intelligence and automation
By modifying the genomes of plants and microorganisms, synthetic biologists can design biological systems that meet a specification, such as producing valuable chemical compounds, making bacteria sensitive to light, or programming bacterial cells to.....»»
