IMMUNE SYSTEM When you have become immune to malaria after having contracted the disease, it seems that the body uses a more efficient protection than if you have been vaccinated against the deadly disease. This is shown in a new study from the University of Copenhagen. The researchers believe the new findings may be used to improve existing malaria vaccines.
Computational modeling shows that both our ears and our environment influence how we hear.
The rechargeable battery can be woven and washed, and could provide power for fiber-based electronic devices and sensors.
A new study shows it’s theoretically possible. The hypothesis could be tested soon with proposed Venus-bound missions.
NATURAL HISTORY The greatest increase in marine biodiversity on Earth was not due to the explosion of an asteroid, as previously believed. In fact, the explosion caused the development of new animal species to stagnate for a period of time. Instead, the answer as to why marine biodiversity increased suddenly is due to a change in the Earth's climate cycle, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Copenhagen and Museum Mors.
Study offers evidence, based on gravitational waves, to show that the total area of a black hole’s event horizon can never decrease.
Texas A&M astronomer Justin Spilker and collaborators have found complex organic molecules in a galaxy more than 12 billion light-years away from Earth.
The sensor technology could also be used to create clothing that detects a variety of pathogens and other threats.
ANIMALS Traditional Māori knowledge helped Western science discover a new beaked whale species washed ashore in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Danish scientist Morten Tange Olsen, who helped carry out the research, hopes the discovery will highlight the lack of scientific knowledge with regards to the basic biology of most beaked whale species.
Social media users share charts and graphs — often with the same underlying data — to advocate opposing approaches to the pandemic.
