Migrating starlings are no copycats

Young, naïve starlings are looking for their wintering grounds independently of experienced conspecifics. Starlings are highly social birds throughout the year, but this does not mean that they copy the migration route from each other. By revisiting a classic ‘displacement’ experiment and by adding new data, a team of researchers at the Netherlands Institute of […]

Machine learning could aid efforts to answer long-standing astrophysical

In an ongoing game of cosmic hide and seek, scientists have a new tool that may give them an edge. Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have developed a computer program incorporating machine learning that could help identify blobs of plasma in outer space known as plasmoids. In […]

Higher calcium and zinc intake linked with healthier pregnancy outcomes

Chicago (June 29, 2024) — People with higher intakes of calcium and zinc in the three months before they conceived were significantly less likely to suffer hypertensive disorders during their pregnancy compared with those who had lower intakes of these essential minerals, according to new research. Chicago (June 29, 2024) — People with higher intakes […]

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have for the first time created a

Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) have created a new type of glass with unique and even contradictory properties, such as being a strong adhesive (sticky) and incredibly transparent at the same time. The glass, which forms spontaneously when comes in contact with water at room temperature, could bring about a revolution in an array […]

Sphingolipid synthesis maintains nuclear membrane integrity and genome stability during cell division

Lipid synthesis must be precisely regulated to support membrane growth and organelle biogenesis during cell division, yet little is known about how this process is coordinated with other cell cycle events. Here, we show that de novo synthesis of sphingolipids during the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle is essential to increasing nuclear […]
