A new study using multiple imaging modalities shows that learning scientific information results in changes in the actual structure of memory-related areas of the brain, changes due to the encoding of the new information in these memory-related brain areas, and changes in the coordination among the network nodes that jointly contain the new information. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190307131447.htm

Physicists are using innovative tools to study the properties of a bizarre class of molecules that may play a role in disease: proteins that cluster together to form spherical droplets inside human cells. A new study sheds light on the conditions that drive such droplets to switch from a fluid, liquidy state to a harder, gel-like state. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190307131438.htm

A breakthrough in quantum dot technology may one day lead to much more cost-effective infrared cameras -- which in turn could enable infrared cameras for common consumer electronics like phones, as well as sensors to help autonomous cars see their surroundings more accurately. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190307131422.htm

Chimpanzees are well known for their extraordinary diversity of behaviors, with some behaviors also exhibiting cultural variation. An international research team has investigated whether chimpanzee behavioral diversity is reduced under high human impact. By comparing sets of chimpanzee behaviors across a large number of social groups exposed to different levels of human disturbance, the scientists found a reduction in behavioral diversity when human impact was high. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190307141021.htm

Researchers have developed a new imaging method that can capture images at speeds of up to 1.5 million frames per second using standard imaging sensors typically limited to 100 frames per second. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190307131444.htm

Researchers have constructed a 'meta-mirror' device capable of perfectly reflecting sound waves in any direction. The proof-of-principle demonstration is analogous to looking directly into a mirror and only seeing the person next to you instead of your own face. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190307131433.htm

Bacteria, plants, insects, or even fish use antifreeze proteins to protect themselves from the cold. The proteins block the growth of ice crystals. In a new study, researchers have confirmed that these proteins also possess an unusual second property: at low temperatures, they can promote rather than inhibit the growth of ice crystals. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190307131430.htm

We can't put the whole Milky Way on a scale, but astronomers have been able to come up with one of the most accurate measurements yet of our galaxy's mass, using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the European Space Agency's Gaia satellite. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190307131412.htm

Hydrogen is a highly attractive, but also highly explosive energy carrier, which requires safe, lightweight and cheap storage as well as transportation systems. Scientists have now developed a chemical storage system based on simple and abundant organic compounds. The liquid hydrogen carrier system has a high theoretical capacity and uses the same catalyst for the charging-discharging reaction. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190307131504.htm
