Bat Brain Activity Sheds Light on Human Memory

Researchers recorded hundreds of neurons in freely flying bats, uncovering how neural replay and theta sequences support memory and planning. The study revealed that replay duration is fixed regardless of flight length.

Reducing Tap Water Contaminants Like Arsenic May Prevent Over 50,000 Cancer Cases

Drinking water treatment that pursues a multi-contaminant approach, tackling several pollutants at once, could prevent more than 50,000 lifetime cancer cases in the US, finds a new peer-reviewed study by the Environmental Working Group.

Some Crabs and Clams in British Columbia Have Evaded Commercialization for 3,000 Years

Combining paleontological tools and archaeological data with conservation research, the paper finds that, for the past 3,000 years, crab and clam species have remained stable in the Broken Group Islands off the west coast of Vancouver Island.

The Duration of Heat Waves is Accelerating Faster Than Global Warming

New research finds that not only will climate change make heat waves hotter and longer, but the lengthening of heat waves will accelerate with each additional fraction of a degree of warming.

Decoding the Evolution of Cancer Cells

Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have now developed a method that allows for the first time to reconstruct the temporal development—the evolution—of cancerous cells from a single tissue sample.

AI-Generated Protein Shows Promise Against Antibiotic-Resistant E. Coli

The newly created protein, termed "de novo-1", binds to a heme-related target in E. coli, preventing the bacteria from acquiring the iron it needs to survive.

Brain Age Identified as Strongest Predictor of Alzheimer's and Death

Stanford researchers developed a blood test that measures the biological age of individual organs by analyzing protein levels. The method predicts disease risk and mortality better than chronological age.
