Science headlines
First evidence of snake-like venom glands found in amphibians Caecilians are limbless amphibians that can be easily mistaken for snakes. Though caecilians are only distantly related to their reptilian cousins, researchers describe specialized glands found along the teeth of the ringed caecilian (Siphonops annulatus), which have the same biological origin and possibly similar function to the venom glands of snakes. As such, caecilians may represent the oldest land-dwelling vertebrate animal with oral venom glands. Scientific 'red flag' reveals new clues about our galaxy By determining how much energy permeates the center of the Milky Way, researchers have moved closer to understanding the power behind our galaxy. Does DNA in the water tell us how many fish are there? Researchers have developed a new non-invasive method to count individual fish by measuring the concentration of environmental DNA in the water, which could be applied for quantitative monitoring of aquatic ecosystems. Towards lasers powerful enough to investigate a new kind of physics Researchers have demonstrated an innovative technique for increasing the intensity of lasers. This approach, based on the compression of light pulses, would make it possible to reach a threshold intensity for a new type of physics that has never been explored before: quantum electrodynamics phenomena. Marijuana use while pregnant boosts risk of children's sleep problems As many as 7% of moms-to-be use marijuana while pregnant, and that number is rising fast as more use it to quell morning sickness. But new research suggests such use could have a lasting impact on the fetal brain, influencing children's sleep for as much as a decade. Research reflects how AI sees through the looking glass Intrigued by how reflection changes images in subtle and not-so-subtle ways, a team of researchers used artificial intelligence to investigate what sets originals apart from their reflections. Their algorithms learned to pick up on unexpected clues such as hair parts, gaze direction and, surprisingly, beards - findings with implications for training machine learning models and detecting faked images. Carbon-loving materials designed to reduce industrial emissions Researchers are advancing gas membrane materials to expand practical technology options for reducing industrial carbon emissions. New technique in which drugs make bacteria glow could help fight antibiotic resistance A new technique could help reduce antibiotic prescribing by predicting which drugs could be effective in fighting bacteria within minutes. Patients may be exposed to hormone-disrupting chemicals in medication, medical supplies Health care providers may unintentionally expose patients to endocrine- disrupting chemicals (EDCs) by prescribing certain medications and using medical supplies, according to a new perspective. Scientists reveal why tummy bugs are so good at swimming through your gut Researchers have solved the mystery of why a species of bacteria that causes food poisoning can swim faster in stickier liquids, such as within guts. |
