Global warming is definitely not due to natural factors, says study
Environmental Science and Energy A statistical analysis of temperature data since 1500 rejects the hypothesis that global warming is a natural fluctuation in the earth’s climate. The study presents a new approach to the question of whether global warming ...
STAP cell researcher found guilty of misconduct
Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology In a new twist in the STAP cell research controversy, Dr. Haruko Obokata was pronounced guilty by the research institute Riken on April 1, 2014. Shunsuke Ishii, chairman of the investigative committee examinin ...
Gravitational waves from big bang detected
Earth and Planetary Science Physicists have made a groundbreaking finding by gathering evidence of a long-predicted twist in light from the big bang that represents the first image of ripples in the universe called gravitational waves. John Kovac, a radi ...
Cause of fragile X sysndrome uncovered
Medicine, Health, and Nursing A new study has found that fragile X syndrome, the most common genetic cause of mental retardation and autism, occurs because of a mechanism that shuts off the gene associated with the disease. While researchers have known th ...
Researchers discover source of secondary aerosol organic particles
Environmental Science and Energy Researchers have found that plant-emitted aerosoles—the extremely low-volatile organic compounds—consist of relatively large molecules. They show how these vapours are formed almost immediately when plant emissions are rel ...
How Earth might have looked 130 million years ago
Earth and Planetary Science Using sophisticated plate tectonic and 3D numerical modeling, geoscientists have been able to show that break-up of the supercontinent Gondwana about 130 million years ago could have led to a completely different shape of the A ...
Monkeys can teach us how to avoid a financial collapse
Computer Science, Mathematics, and Statistics Researchers at the University of California have concluded that social networks among primates provide valuable lessons that could help predict catastrophes like the 2008 global financial crisis. Captive rhesu ...
Muscle recovery possible in elderly mice
Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology Over time, stem cells in damage-repairing muscle tissues struggle to regenerate. In a new study, scientists have identified a process by which the older muscle stem cell populations can be rejuvenated to funct ...
Wolves are considerably better imitators than dogs, says new study
Plant and Animal Science It is widely believed that domestication influenced the abilities of dogs to form close relationships with humans. However, the effects of domestication on the interactions between the animals have not received much attention. Alt ...
Circumbinary planets must have formed far from their current location
Earth and Planetary Science In a new study, researchers have concluded that the majority of circumbinary planets must have formed much further away from the central binary stars and then migrated to their current location. The researchers arrived at this ...
