Dogs and humans shown to process body postures similarly in their brains

A study by researchers at the University of Vienna and the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna shows that information from body postures plays a similarly important role for dogs as it does for humans. The results offer ...

Physicists discover a new switch for superconductivity

Under certain conditions—usually exceedingly cold ones—some materials shift their structure to unlock new, superconducting behavior. This structural shift is known as a "nematic transition," and physicists suspect that ...

Near-infrared persistent luminescence nanoprobe developed for ultrasensitive image-guided tumor resection

Medical imaging technology such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and X-ray cannot provide real-time images during tumor resection surgery, and surgeons usually rely on visual cues, touch and experience ...

First hominin muscle reconstruction shows 3.2 million-year-old 'Lucy' could stand as erect as we do

A Cambridge University researcher has digitally reconstructed the missing soft tissue of an early human ancestor—or hominin—for the first time, revealing a capability to stand as erect as we do today.

Ingestible capsule to address GI tract diseases

Diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal tract diseases can be notoriously invasive and time-consuming: blood and stool lab work; biopsies, colonoscopies and endoscopies; and X-rays, CT scans and MRI imaging. But what if ...

Examining networks in the dog brain provides further insights into mammalian evolution

A study on canine brain networks reveals that during mammalian brain evolution, the role of the cingulate cortex, a bilateral structure located deep in the cerebral cortex, was partly taken over by the lateral frontal lobes, ...

Researchers discover superconductive images are actually 3D and disorder-driven fractals

Meeting the world's energy demands is reaching a critical point. Powering the technological age has caused issues globally. It is increasingly important to create superconductors that can operate at ambient pressure and temperature. ...
