A groundbreaking international study has demonstrated that #Alzheimer’s disease #biomarkers can be accurately detected using simple finger-prick blood samples that can be collected at home and mailed to laboratories without refrigeration or prior processing.

Two candles emit twice as much light as one. And ten candles have ten times the intensity. This rule seems completely trivialβ€”but in the #quantum world it can be broken. When quantum particles are excited to a higher-energy state, they can emit light as they relax back to a lower-energy state.

The Capitalocene argument posits that the origins of the modern ecological emergency are found not in the steam engines of the nineteenth century, nor in the nuclear tests of the twentieth, but in the rise of the capitalist world-ecology during the "long sixteenth century"

The term "Anthropocene" has transcended its origins in the quiet corridors of stratigraphy to become the defining cultural, philosophical, and scientific concept of the twenty-first century. It proposes a fundamental rupture in Earth history; the moment when human activity ceased to be a mere biological presence on the surface of the planet

Researchers have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain’s support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain’s rapid-braking system and are significantly involved in #schizophrenia , #epilepsy , and other #neurological conditions.

More than a billion years ago, in a shallow #basin across what is now northern Ontario, a #subtropical lake much like modern-day Death Valley evaporated under the sun’s gentle heat, leaving behind #crystals of #halite β€” rock #salt

About 300 years ago, Swedish naturalist Carl #Linnaeus set out on a bold quest: to identify and name every living #organism on Earth. Now celebrated as the father of modern taxonomy, he developed the binomial naming system and described more than 10,000 species of plants and animals.
