The dams built along the Colorado River some hundred years ago paved the way for Western cities to boom. Las Vegas wouldn’t exist without Lake Mead, our nation’s largest reservoir. But these dams came with a cost: environmental impact, cultural loss, and fraught political battles.
Former Coca-Cola consultant discusses a study linking Alzheimer's disease to gut bacteria and how what you eat can impact your brain health.
Some planets outside our solar system are thought to be tidally locked, with one side always facing their star, creating a world divided into hot and cold. Now, it seems this set-up may not be permanent after all, allowing the two sides to flip.
Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³», researchers have identified a correlation between Alzheimer's disease and specific gut microbiota populations. In a paper published in Scientific Reports titled "Genetic correlations between Alzheimer's disease and gut microbiome genera," the researchers explain how they narrowed the search down to a half dozen disease-correlated microbes, with one related to the most significant risk.
Tensions between the brain, the gut, and the makeup of its microbial inhabitants appear to play a critical role in the development of neurodegenerative conditions.
An international team of scientists found that there may be a correlation between the mysterious phenomena known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) and gravitational waves emanating from neutron star mergers.
We have just published evidence in Nature Astronomy for what might be producing mysterious bursts of radio waves coming from distant galaxies, known as fast radio bursts or FRBs.
For years, astronomers have been detecting incredibly powerful pulses from the cosmos, without a confirmed source. Recent advances in astronomy are getting us closer to the solution.
The secrets of deep space may be starting to reveal themselves, as rapid advances in technology and stronger research collaborations are making it possible for astronomers to piece together cosmological clues like never before.
Gravitational waves from the smashup came from the same part of sky at almost the same time
Ê×Ò³| Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» 500,000 people in the United States suffer from gastrointestinal infections from Clostridioides difficile (C. diff). Over 20,000 die from the infections.
Gastrointestinal infections from Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) affect about 500,000 people in the U.S. a year, 20,000 of which die. Now, a new study performed in mice may have found a solution for the condition.
