Extracting the best flavor from coffee — ScienceDaily
Espresso coffee is brewed by first grinding roasted coffee beans into grains. Hot water then forces its way through a bed of coffee grains at high pressure, and the soluble…
Evidence of Ice Age human migrations from China to the Americas and Japan — ScienceDaily
Scientists have used mitochondrial DNA to trace a female lineage from northern coastal China to the Americas. By integrating contemporary and ancient mitochondrial DNA, the team found evidence of at…
Study proposes role for gamma oscillations in future treatment — ScienceDaily
Led by researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine and University of Szeged in Hungary, a new study in mice and rats found that restoring certain signals in a brain…
Kangaroo Island ants ‘play dead’ to avoid predators — ScienceDaily
They’re well known for their industrious work, but now a species of ant on Kangaroo Island is also showing that it is skilled at ‘playing dead’, a behaviour that University…
Waters off Alabama, Louisiana and Texas are home to 14,000 nonproductive wells — ScienceDaily
Wetlands, coastal areas and offshore waters near Alabama, Louisiana and Texas have more inactive oil and gas wells than producing ones, and the cost to permanently plug and abandon them…
Breakthrough holds promise for disease treatments, precision medicine — ScienceDaily
Researchers from the University of California, Irvine have developed a DNA enzyme — or DNAzyme — that can distinguish between two RNA strands inside a cell and cut the disease-associated…
Viruses may have unanticipated consequences for ecosystem responses to climate change — ScienceDaily
Microbes play important roles in ecosystems, and these roles are changing with global warming. Scientists also now know that most types of microbes are infected by viruses, but they know…
Scientists find an auto-signaling mechanism driving the T cell anti-tumor response — ScienceDaily
When you need a bit of motivation, it often has to come from within. New research suggests cancer-fighting immune cells have found a way to do just that. Scientists at…
Highly sensitive imaging approach could allow monitoring or surveillance in turbid water — ScienceDaily
For the first time, researchers have demonstrated a prototype lidar system that uses quantum detection technology to acquire 3D images while submerged underwater. The high sensitivity of this system could…
