Breathing poison: Microbial life on nitric oxide respiration

Sciencedaily.com 

Nitric oxide (NO) is a central molecule in the global cycling of nitrogen, and also toxic. Little is known about if and how microbes can use NO as a substrate for growth. Scientists have now managed to grow a microbial community dominated by two, so-far unknown species on NO for more than four years (and counting) and study their metabolism in great detail. Their research provides insight into the physiology of NO-respiring microorganisms, which have pivotal roles in the control of climate active gases... Читать дальше...

GPT detectors can be biased against non-native English writers

Sciencedaily.com 

Researchers show that computer programs commonly used to determine if a text was written by artificial intelligence tend to falsely label articles written by non-native language speakers as AI-generated. The researchers caution against the use of such AI text detectors for their unreliability, which could have negative impacts on individuals including students and those applying for jobs.

LIONESS redefines brain tissue imaging

Sciencedaily.com 

Scientists have come together to present a new way to observe the brain's structure and dynamics -- in a high resolution and without damaging the tissue.

In-person mindfulness courses help improve mental health for at least six months

Sciencedaily.com 

In-person mindfulness courses help improve mental health for at least six months, study shows. Adults who voluntarily take part in mindfulness courses are less likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and depression for at least six months after completing the programs, compared to adults who do not take part, a new analysis pooling data from 13 studies has confirmed.

A common childhood injury has been shown to slash school completion rates, adding to evidence that found being hospitalized can have a long-lasting effect on young people.

First bioavailable compound that specifically inhibits free radical production in mitochondria prevents and treats metabolic syndrome in mice

Sciencedaily.com 

The free radical theory of aging is back in play after falling out of favor decades ago. (Remember when people were taking massive doses of various vitamins and minerals? Mopping up free radicals with antioxidants compromised beneficial metabolic signaling pathways leading to bad side effects). What brings the theory back? Researchers at the Buck discovered that they could specifically block free radical production in mitochondria. An elegant solution replaces an indiscriminate and messy mop up.... Читать дальше...

Taking a lesson from spiders: Researchers create an innovative method to produce soft, recyclable fibers for smart textiles

Sciencedaily.com 

Researchers drew inspiration from the spider silk spinning process to fabricate strong, stretchable, and electrically conductive soft fibers. Their novel technique overcomes the challenges of conventional methods, which require complex conditions and systems. Such soft and recyclable fibers have a wide range of potential applications, such as a strain-sensing glove for gaming or a smart mask for monitoring breathing status for conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea.

New deep light imaging could improve disease diagnosis

Sciencedaily.com 

Researchers have made a technology breakthrough for one of the most important forms of light imaging, optical coherence tomography (OCT), which could revolutionize applications in ophthalmology, dermatology, cardiology, and the early detection of cancer.

Criticism with care is more persuasive

Sciencedaily.com 

When unethical behavior is criticized, demands are often met with defensiveness and denial. How can we overcome this reaction? New research demonstrates that criticism is more persuasive when it is expressed with concern for the welfare of those being criticized.

Roots are capable of measuring heat on their own

Sciencedaily.com 

Plant roots have their own thermometer to measure the temperature of the soil around them and they adjust their growth accordingly. Through extensive experiments, a team was able to demonstrate that roots have their own temperature sensing and response system. In a new study, the scientists also provide a new explanation for how roots themselves detect and react to higher temperatures. The results could help develop new approaches for plant breeding.
