Tree rings reveal a new kind of earthquake threat to the Pacific Northwest

Tree rings reveal a new kind of earthquake threat to the Pacific Northwest
2023-09-27
In February, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook the Turkey-Syria border, followed by one nearly as large nine hours later. Shallow faults less than 18 miles beneath the surface buckled and ruptured, causing violent focused quakes that leveled thousands of buildings and killed tens of thousands. Similar shallow faults ruptured about 1,000 years ago in the Puget Lowlands in western Washington, according to new University of Arizona-led research. Tree rings helped pinpoint that the seismic event occurred in late A.D. 923 or ...

Researchers find potential way to tweak immune system to help it fight tuberculosis

2023-09-27
Tuberculosis is old—ancient even. The infectious bacterial disease that plagued Old Testament Israelites and took down pharaohs was eventually stunted by vaccinations, antibiotics, and public health measures like isolation, but it hasn’t been cured yet. More than a million people around the world still die from TB every year. Now, a Boston University-led research team has found a way to tweak immune cells to better fight the disease and—with the right backing and funding—they say it could ...

Researchers discover disease-causing stem cells in lungs of cystic fibrosis patients

Researchers discover disease-causing stem cells in lungs of cystic fibrosis patients
2023-09-27
Two nationally recognized experts in cloning and stem cell science from the University of Houston, Wa Xian and Frank McKeon, are reporting that five lung stem cell variants dominate the lungs of patients with advanced cystic fibrosis (CF), and that these variants drive key aspects of CF pathology including inflammation, fibrosis and mucin secretion.      Cystic fibrosis is an inherited and progressive disease that causes long-lasting lung infections and limits the ability to breathe. It is caused by a defect in a gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator ...

Combating distrust online: New GW study explains why current messaging efforts may not be effective

2023-09-27
WASHINGTON (September 27, 2023) - New research led by the George Washington University finds that current mitigation efforts to combat distrust online may not be effective because organizations and governments tackling distrust are only targeting one topic and only one geographical scale. The study shows that online distrust has become a ‘glocal’ phenomenon, meaning that it is spreading with different topics lumped together and mixing both local and global interests.  “The key takeaway here is that distrust ...

When needs compete, love trumps thirst

2023-09-27
ITHACA, N.Y. – While many studies have investigated the neuroscience behind how an animal learns to achieve a goal, such as obtaining water when thirsty, none have understood how animals choose between several competing needs – until now. A Cornell University-led study, published Sept. 27 in the journal Nature, used advanced techniques developed by researchers to track the brain’s dopamine reward system and found – for the first time ­– this system flexibly retunes toward the most important goal when faced with multiple competing needs. In the study, when a lonely and thirsty male zebra finch encountered a female, his thirst waned and ...

NIH awards merit grant for nanofiber research targeting metastatic lung tumors

NIH awards merit grant for nanofiber research targeting metastatic lung tumors
2023-09-27
Dr. Vanessa Bellat, an assistant professor of chemistry in radiology and an affiliate of the Molecular Imaging Innovations Institute (MI3) at Weill Cornell Medicine, has been awarded a $2 million, four-year R37 MERIT grant from the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health. She will be developing a new therapeutic approach using nanofibers that selectively deliver drugs to the lungs to treat metastatic tumors and testing it in preclinical models. These fibers are made from peptide chains (building blocks that make up proteins) and have a unique 2-dimensional single ...

UTA research: Wildlife loss five times slower in protected areas

UTA research: Wildlife loss five times slower in protected areas
2023-09-27
Protecting large areas of land from human activity can help stem the tide of biodiversity loss, especially for vertebrates like amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds, according to a new study in Nature. In particular, vertebrate population declines were five times slower in conservation areas compared to animals living in areas not protected from development or conversion to agricultural use. “Protected areas take us from a situation in which biodiversity is ebbing away to one where populations are at least close to stable,” said Luke Frishkoff, coauthor of the study and assistant professor of biology at The University of Texas at Arlington. ...

Milestone for novel atomic clock

Milestone for novel atomic clock
2023-09-27
An international research team has taken a decisive step toward a new generation of atomic clocks. At the European XFEL X-ray laser, the researchers have created a much more precise pulse generator based on the element scandium, which enables an accuracy of one second in 300 billion years – that is about a thousand times more precise than the current standard atomic clock based on caesium. The team presents its success in the journal Nature. Atomic clocks are currently the world’s ...

NSF backs Rice processor design, chip security research
2023-09-27
HOUSTON – (Sept. 27, 2023) Rice University computer scientists have won two grants from the National Science Foundation to explore new information processing technologies and applications that combine seamlessly co-designed hardware and software to allow for more effective and efficient data stream analysis using pattern matching. Initiated by a Rice seed grant, the projects address the limitations of current computing infrastructure’s ability to process complex, unstructured data streams. A $1.2 million award will ...
