Scientific Reports - Patterns of Arc mRNA expression in the rat brain following dual recall of fear- and reward-based socially acquired information

Precise control of gene expression—ensuring that cells make the correct components in the right amount and at the right time—is vital for all organisms to function properly. Cells must regulate how genes encoded in the sequence of DNA are made into RNA molecu…

<p>The ability to solve problems with multiple tools is a rare talent in the animal kingdom, but according to new research, cockatoos are the first birds on the block to carry and use a tool kit to suit their needs.</p>

By Pamela Freeman, February 10 2023— We are quickly losing the ability to see the dark night sky. The sky became, on average, 10 per cent brighter every year from 2011 to 2022 due to artificial light pollution, according to a new study published in Science.  …

Humans are naturally afraid of the dark. We sometimes imagine monsters under the bed and walk faster down unlit streets at night. To conquer our fears, we may leave a night light on to scare away the monsters and a light over the porch to deter break-ins.

It turns out that butterflies are just as striking in thermal as they are in the visible light spectrum. According to a study published in Nature by researchers from Columbia Engineering and Harvard University, it's possible to examine the thermodynamic prope…

PlayStation is said to have two separate shows planned before June.

New analysis of the Winchcombe meteorite has revealed just how quickly space rocks which fall to Earth can be contaminated by our atmosphere.

Over the next year, nine of the more than 1,400 riskiest objects are set to make close passes by our planet, including the one ranked as the highest overall risk and one ranked fourth riskiest overall.

Synthesis of fumaric acid by a new method of artificial photosynthesis, using sunlight. In recent years, environmental problems caused by global warming have become more apparent due to greenhouse gases such as CO2. In natural photosynthesis, CO2 is not reduc…

For today's article, we are going to look into the differences in player groups and discuss the business merit of each group. Hello everyone, welcome to another installment of The Other Side.

This is apparently the first time such a phenomenon has been seen on the Sun.

Spacecraft and mission hardware designed by an artificial intelligence may resemble bones left by some alien species, but they weigh less, tolerate higher structural loads, and require a fraction of the time parts designed by humans take to develop.

Scientific Reports - Colorimetry characteristics and color contribution of fluorescence in natural Cr-containing spinel

A pair of physicists at Seattle University has found that the path taken by Mexican jumping beans is random and benefits the moth larvae they contain. Devon McKee and Pasha Tabatabai became curious about the movements of Mexican jumping beans and decided to f…

Humanity is going back to the moon to stay — and we might have a way to live there long-term.

Computer software developed at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis can predict what happens to complex gene networks when individual genes are missing or dialed up more than usual. Such genetic networks play key roles in early embryonic deve…

Bound electron-hole pairs, or excitons, are the workhorses in layered transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors. Like the negative and positive charge carriers from which it forms, the exciton exhibits great mobility that ultrafast transient diffusion is…

While the mantle is mostly solid, a layer about 93 miles (150 kilometers) down is melty, new research finds.

Due to their easy bandgap tunability and low inter-system crossing loss, semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) offer tremendous potential as sensitizers for triplet-triplet annihilation up-conversion (TTA-UC).
