Kunbarrasaurus, The Dinosaur Formerly Known As Minmi
The newly identified Kunbarrasaurus is more primitive than other closely related ankylosaurs, scientists say.
Genetics Helps Trace The Tale Of Coral Migration And Recovery
A study of over 900,000 SNPs has helped scientists identify the genetic changes that help some corals survive bleaching events better than others.
New Genetic Paradigm Might Pave The Way For Better Drug Targets
When faced with a lack of certain ‘essential’ genes, yeast cells can cope by simply doubling up their chromosomes.
For Birds, It Takes Two To Tap Dance
Both male and female blue-capped cordon-bleus engage in a courtship dance, suggesting that sexual communication is not always a one way street.
Computing The Unsolvable With Time Travel
Time-travelling computers could help solve currently intractable problems without threatening causality, researchers say.
Where Do Athletes Store Motor Memory?
fMRI imaging has identified the regions of the brain involved in both long- and short-term storage of motor memory, a finding which could help train and rehabilitate athletes.
Growing Graphene On A Molten Bed
Using widely available soda-lime glass as a substrate, researchers have grown uniform sheets of graphene that can be used in heating devices.
Fatty Eggs Impede Fertility, Says Study
The lowered fertility of high-yield dairy milk cows has been traced to fatty oocytes, a finding that could also help infertile women.
Gene Variation Could Protect Against ‘Chemobrain’
A genetic variation in the BNDF gene affects whether women undergoing chemotherapy experience the side effect of cognitive impairment.
