A new computer model shows blobs of cooler rocks (in blue) in Earth’s mantle where none should be. Sebastian Noe/ETH Zurich A team of geophysicists created a detailed model of Earth’s lower mantle using earthquake waves. This indicates the presence of zones of rocks that are colder, or have a different composition, than our current…

New research shows flies can tolerate temperatures 2.3°C lower than bees before losing motor function, making them particularly vulnerable to climate change and raising concerns about their crucial role as the world’s second most important pollinators. The study, conducted across three countries, reveals that flies’ sensitivity to heat is especially… Continue Reading News Source:…

New Haven, Conn. — Scientists at Yale and the University of Connecticut have taken a major step in understanding how animal brains make decisions, revealing a crucial role for electrical synapses in “filtering” sensory information. The new research, published in the journal Cell , demonstrates how a specific configuration of electrical synapses enables animals to…

Most of the atoms in your body likely spent millions of years circling the Milky Way on a cosmic “conveyor belt” before returning to our galaxy prior to the solar system‘s creation, a new study suggests. Most elements in the universe, except for hydrogen and helium (and a few other weird exceptions), were forged by…

In an unprecedented new study in the journal Cell Reports, researchers have shown neurotransmitters in the human brain are released while processing of the emotional content of language, providing new insights into how people interpret the significance of words. The work, conducted by an international team led by Virginia Tech scientists, offers deeper understanding… Continue…
