Biophysicists use machine learning to understand, predict dynamics of worm behavior

Biophysicists have used an automated method to model a living system -- the dynamics of a worm perceiving and escaping pain. The model makes accurate predictions about the dynamics of the worm behavior, and these predictions are biologically interpretable and have been experimentally verified. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190327123848.htm

Researchers discover the source of new neurons in brain's hippocampus

Researchers have shown, in mice, that one type of stem cell that makes adult neurons is the source of this lifetime stock of new cells in the hippocampus. These findings may help neuroscientists figure out how to maintain youthful conditions for learning and memory, and repair and regenerate parts of the brain after injury and aging. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190328150854.htm

Quantum physics and origami for the ultimate get-well card

The bizarre optical properties of tiny metal particles -- smaller than light waves -- can be captured on paper to detect even a single target molecule in a test sample. These hyper-sensitive testing devices could be assembled and customized at the point of use in low-resource environments, with virtually limitless applications spanning medicine, forensics, manufacturing and environmental safety. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190329075928.htm

Dark matter experiment finds no evidence of axions

Physicists have performed the first run of a new experiment to detect axions -- hypothetical particles that are predicted to be among the lightest particles in the universe. The team reports that in the first month of observations, the experiment detected no sign of axions within the mass range of 0.31 to 8.3 nanoelectronvolts. This means that axions within this mass range either don't exist or they have an even smaller effect on electricity and magnetism than previously thought. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190328150940.htm

Saturn's rings coat tiny moons

New findings have emerged about five tiny moons nestled in and near Saturn's rings. The closest-ever flybys by NASA's Cassini spacecraft reveal that the surfaces of these unusual moons are covered with material from the planet's rings -- and from icy particles blasting out of Saturn's larger moon Enceladus. The work paints a picture of the competing processes shaping these mini-moons. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190328170639.htm

Scientists discover potential sustainable energy technology for the household refrigerator

While many advancements have been in improving its efficiency, the refrigerator still consumes considerable energy each year. So researchers in China are working to minimize the cold loss that occurs at the thermal barrier between inside the freezer and outside the fridge. They hypothesized that using part of the cold loss to cool the fresh food compartment could be a promising solution. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190328150937.htm

Ferromagnetic nanoparticle systems show promise for ultrahigh-speed spintronics

In the future, ultrahigh-speed spintronics will require ultrafast coherent magnetization reversal within a picosecond. While this may eventually be achieved via irradiation the small change of magnetization it generates has so far prevented any practical application of this technique. Now researchers report that they have explored ferromagnetic nanoparticles embedded within a semiconductor. Their theory was that the electric field of the terahertz pulse could be effectively applied to each nanoparticle. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190328112558.htm

Reducing water consumption in mining

Plenty of water is needed for beneficiation of mineral ores. Taking the raw material fluorite as their example, researchers have now shown how water usage can be optimized. They have developed a new procedure that extends the simulation of the beneficiation process. It indicates the circumstances in which it makes sense for water to be recycled without incurring losses during ore enrichment. The consumption of fresh water can thereby be significantly reduced. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190328102647.htm

Knowledge gap closed in our understanding of degradation of ethane

With a share of up to ten percent, ethane is the second most common component of natural gas and is present in deep-seated land and marine gas deposits all around the world. Up to now, it was unclear how ethane is degraded in the absence of oxygen. Researchers have discovered a single-celled organism able to degrade ethane without oxygen. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190328102614.htm

Seeds inherit memories from their mother

Seeds remain in a dormant state as long as environmental conditions are not ideal for germination. The depth of this sleep is inherited from their mother. Researchers reveal how this maternal imprint is transmitted through fragments of 'interfering' RNAs, which inactivate genes, and that a similar mechanism enables to transmit another imprint, that of the temperatures present during the development of the seed. This mechanism allows the seed to optimize the timing of its germination. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190326105610.htm
