Females tend to report more symptoms—and more severe ones--and may also take longer to recover from brain injuries than their male counterparts.
Researchers interested in the evolution of multicellular life were looking for bacteria that stimulate Salpingoeca rosetta, single-cell saltwater dwellers that are the closest living relatives of animals, to form the rosette-shaped colonies that give them their name. But one bacterium had quite a different stimulating effect: It motivated S. rosetta to have sex.
A team of researchers including Marina Alberti of the University of Washington has devised a new classification scheme for the evolutionary stages of worlds based on "non-equilibrium thermodynamics" — a planet's energy flow being out of synch, as the presence of life could cause.
At an international science conference hosted recently in Santa Fe, N.M., Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists Bruce Carlsten, Dinh Nguyen and Richard Sheffield were awarded the 2017 Free-Electron Laser (FEL) Prize.
Southeastern Louisiana University’s 90.9FM KSLU’s “Rock School” radio show has earned top honors again in this year’s Communicator Awards.

University of Colorado Cancer Center study shows that monitoring levels of blood tumor markers may predict when a lung cancer patient is progressing on targeted treatments.
Vanderbilt Assistant Professor of Computer Science Maithilee Kunda figured out how to write code that emulates the kind of image-based thinking many people with autism report. The result is a form of artificial intelligence that allows researchers to study a model of human cognition.
The Russian government has persuaded many of its citizens to avoid websites and social media platforms that are critical of the government, a new study has found.
Argonne opens call for second cohort of Chain Reaction Innovations. Applications will be accepted from Sept. 5 through Oct. 13.
DHS S&T has awarded funding to five research and development (R&D) projects that will enhance the secure use of mobile applications (apps) for the federal government.
Scientists have identified a class of compounds that can block transmission of the parasite that causes malaria and reduce resistance to currently available drugs.
Over the last 25 years, the world has seen an increased dependency on wind energy that promises to continue growing. This has created an ever-evolving process to develop a method that can accurately assess a region’s wind energy potential. The European Union and other countries have begun development of the New European Wind Atlas, the details of which a Danish researcher discusses in this week’s Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy.
Titled “Insurgency and Counter-insurgency in the Modern Era of Warfare,” the symposium will feature presentations on many facets of insurgency and counter-insurgency theory and practice.
Brain imaging study shows white matter structural changes in children correspond to severity of autistic traits.
With a $750,000 grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, researchers from the University of Chicago’s Knowledge Lab and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Psychology will study how different programming tools work with our minds to shape the scientific process.
While much needed programs, and past studies, have predominately focused on the mental health effects of such violent acts on students, new research by the University of New Hampshire shows that aggressive sexual acts can also adversely impact school work and overall college experience.
The Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research today announces that Dr. Raymond Kim is its newest scientific lead, guiding efforts at the country’s only clinic devoted to cardiac genomics.
West Virginia University biologists Kevin Daly and Andrew Dacks are working to uncover the mystery of corollary discharge functions for the sense of smell. Funded by a four year, $1.4 million Air Force grant, Daly and Dacks are studying an animal with one of the most sensitive senses of smell—moths.
