A gift from DMT Quest to UC San Diego will support research on the effects of the psychedelic DMT on the human brain, with potential to help treat depression, addiction and neurological conditions such as stroke.
The short-lived hadron resonance lambda 1405 was predicted in the late 1950s and early 1960s, then confirmed experimentally later in the 1960s. This resonance has unusual properties that make it an important subject for nuclear physics studies. In this project, researchers used quantum chromodynamics and supercomputing facilities to determine that the lambda 1405 resonance represents two hadrons, not one.
Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have demonstrated a working capability that can radically accelerate the testing of qubits 鈥 the quantum computing equivalent of bits 鈥 accomplishing in a matter of minutes what has previously taken days or even weeks.
A new study published by researchers at the University at Albany has presented the first documented evidence that Adirondack surface waters made a near full recovery from metal pollution since the enactment of the Clean Air Act.
A new study shows that planets bigger than Earth and smaller than Neptune are common outside the Solar System. The same international team including astronomers from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA) has also announced the discovery of a planet about twice the size of Earth orbiting its star farther out than Saturn is to the Sun.
A new study, published in BMC Nutrition, demonstrates that providing medically tailored meals (MTM) to patients with heart failure (HF) and malnutrition risk following hospital discharge significantly improves their nutritional status and keeps hospital readmission rates well below local and national averages.
Since the first recorded case of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 鈥 commonly known as avian flu or bird flu 鈥 in 1996, Ian Wilson, professor of structural biology at Scripps Research, and his colleagues have been closely tracking the evolution of several key proteins using SSRL.
Recently, Wilson鈥檚 team investigated the evolution of a protein that plays a crucial role in H5N1鈥檚 ability to transmit between species. Their analysis found that the protein is susceptible to a mutation that could help the virus attach to human cells, potentially increasing the risk of human transmission. The findings 鈥 published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 鈥 underscore the need for ongoing monitoring of H5N1鈥檚 evolution.
A new study led by researchers at the University of California San Diego offers a first-of-its-kind look at how deeper coordination among Western U.S. states could lower the cost of decarbonizing the electric grid鈥攁nd speed up the clean energy transition.
A simple consultation during unrelated visits to the emergency room can help patients with high blood pressure 鈥 鈥渢he silent killer鈥 鈥 manage the condition, even before they experience symptoms, according to new research from the University of Illinois Chicago.
