The IPCC, a big name in climate research, is changing. It's not just about new faces; it's about a big change in how they study climate change. This shift is called "Extreme Event Attribution" (EEA). It's a hot topic, and people are starting to question if this is good for science or just a way to p
Sharks have unique skin covered in tiny, tooth-like scales called denticles. These denticles help sharks swim faster and protect them during mating. Scientists wanted to see if these denticles change as sharks grow and if there are differences between male and female sharks. They studied 24 bonneth
Chickens make a lot of noise. But did you know that these sounds can tell us a lot about their health and how they're feeling? Scientists have been studying chicken noises for 15 days straight. They used special microphones in chicken houses to record all the sounds. They also checked the temperatur
Chickens raised in busy, interesting environments show big changes in how they act and feel. This is what a recent study found when they compared chickens in three rooms full of things to do with chickens in three plain rooms. Each room had about 2, 450 chickens and got natural light. In the busy r
In the world of quantum computing, the hunt for Majorana quasiparticles has been a long and winding road. These elusive entities, which could revolutionize quantum computing by providing stable qubits, have been the subject of intense research and debate. A recent study, published in the journal Sci
Tomatoes, like many plants, have a fascinating way of blooming. It's not just one gene that makes this happen. Instead, it's a team of genes working together. Scientists dove into this topic. They wanted to understand how three important genes in tomatoes help them flower. First, they looked at the
Ever wondered how doctors can see inside your body without cutting you open? It's not magic, it's science! MRI machines are like superheroes, but they need special helpers called phantoms to learn their powers. These phantoms aren't ghosts, but clever tools made to copy how our body parts react to m
People die every day because there aren't enough organs for transplants. This is a big problem. Doctors have a new idea to fix this. They want to use special inks and stem cells to print organs with a machine. This could be a game-changer. But it's not that simple. There are lots of questions to ans
Working in high altitudes is common for many people, especially those in the aerospace industry. But what does this do to the brain? A study looked at 19 people who often work in altitude chambers and compared them to 28 healthy individuals. First, let's talk about the brain scans. Both groups had
People often see things differently. What one person views as a sensible action, another might see as a sign of something much bigger. This idea is at the heart of a recent exploration into how symbols influence our perceptions and beliefs. Researchers dug into how people's views on COVID-19 measur
