Researchers have produced a comprehensive picture of insulin signalling in mice and suggest that it is shaped by entangled effects of genetics and diet.
Charging ahead: New electrolyte goes extra mile for faster EV charging
Researchers are taking fast charging for electric vehicles, or EVs, to new extremes.
Between Outer Space and Antarctica: Miniature Robots to Carry out Research Below the Ice
For years, scientists have assumed that there are oceans of water beneath the ice covers on the moons Enceladus and Europa.
Plant-based food alternatives could support a shift to global sustainability
Replacing 50% of meat and milk products with plant-based alternatives by 2050 can reduce agriculture and land use related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 31% and halt the degradation of forest and natural land, according to new research.
Movement sensors can detect disease in wild boar
Accelerometers reading the behavior of wild boars can pick up when animals are infected with a fatal virus.
New rivers in the North? Scientists identify how the dissection of Arctic landscapes is changing with accelerating climate change
New research shows that amplified global warming in the Canadian High Arctic drove a profound shift in the structure of a river network carved into a permafrost landscape in only 60 years.
New super-fast flood model has potentially life-saving benefits
Researchers have developed a new simulation model, which can predict flooding during an ongoing disaster more quickly and accurately than currently possible.
Exposure to air pollution while in the womb is linked to adverse changes in cell processes in new-born babies
Exposure to air pollution while in the womb is linked to alterations in proteins that can be detected after a baby is born, and which affect cell processes such as autophagy, the 'self-eating' of damaged cells that occurs in response to stress.
Both high-protein and normal-protein diets are effective for T2D management
New findings indicate that the type of protein in the diet is not as important as the overall amount of weight loss for those with Type 2 diabetes. 106 adults with T2D were randomly assigned to either the high-protein or normal-protein diet for 52 weeks. Both diets were energy-restricted. The...
Ecology and artificial intelligence: Stronger together
Many of today's artificial intelligence systems loosely mimic the human brain. In a new paper, researchers suggest that another branch of biology -- ecology -- could inspire a whole new generation of AI to be more powerful, resilient, and socially responsible. The paper argues for a synergy between AI and...
