Study explores enduring effects of sexual violence during Rwandan genocide
A study led by McGill University researchers offers insights into intergenerational memory and the experiences of children born of conflict-related sexual violence and their mothers in post-genocide Rwanda. Summary A McGill University study explores the Read More
A Skin-Stretch Approach Can Deliver Needle-Free Vaccines – New Study/Science
Stretching mice skin made it more permeable to microbial metabolites, jump-starting immune defenses and potentially offering a new approach to vaccine delivery. Summary Stretching mouse skin enhances its permeability, allowing microbial metabolites to penetrate more Read More
A new study by the University of Science and Technology of China’s (USTC) Archaeo-metallurgy Laboratory reveals a compelling connection between ancient bronze mirror craftsmanship and the economic recovery during the “Reign of Wen and Read More
NGC 7456 may look like just another spiral galaxy, but it’s full of surprises. From vibrant star-forming regions glowing pink to mysterious ultraluminous X-ray sources, it’s a cosmic laboratory for astronomers. A Hidden Galaxy Read More
Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, an international team of astronomers has performed observations of a galaxy cluster designated SPT-CLJ2337−5942. The observational campaign revealed the presence of an ultra-steep spectrum radio halo in this cluster. The Read More
Astronomers confirmed an off-center black hole in a dwarf galaxy. It offers clues to how supermassive black holes may form. Black holes are most often assumed to sit at the centers of galaxies, but a Read More
Single device amplifies signals while shielding qubits from unwanted noise
Quantum computing, an approach to deriving information that leverages quantum mechanical effects, relies on qubits, quantum units of information that can exist in superpositions of states. To effectively perform quantum computing, engineers and physicists need Read More
Estimated 16,500 climate change deaths during Europe summer: Study –
Scientists estimated Wednesday that rising temperatures from human-caused climate change were responsible for roughly 16,500 deaths in European cities this summer, using modeling to project the toll before official data is released. Summary A new study Read More
Illusions activate specific neurons in the primary visual cortex that complete patterns based on experiences and reinforce the perception of certain images. Summary Illusions exploit the brain’s pattern-completion mechanisms within the primary visual cortex. Read More
