Women more likely to choose wine from female winemakers
Promoting women's ownership in wineries can boost sales among the largest group of U.S. wine consumers, who happen to be women. Messages like "proudly made by a...
Past climate change: First indicators show resilience in tropical life—up to 1.5°C
New geological data indicate that marine life is somewhat resilient to warming in the tropics. Chris Fokkema, Earth scientist at Utrecht University, discovered...
Meekness isn't weakness. Once considered positive, it's one of the 'undersung virtues' that deserve defense today
What do you envision when you think of meekness? You probably see a mousy doormat, someone sheepishly acquiescing to the will of the stronger. When Jesus says,...
Frictionless AI comes at a human cost to learning, growth and connection
Artificial intelligence is rapidly making intellectual work and social interaction easier, but that ease may come at a substantial psychological cost, according...
Simulations show a path to 'ideal glass' with crystal-like entropy
The types of glass that we encounter in everyday life, such as window glass or smartphone screens, are disordered solids. This means that they consist of partic...
DNA study uncovers continental origins of Britain's Bronze Age population
When ancient DNA studies began to gain attention, little more than a decade ago, the view took hold among geneticists that everything we thought we knew about t...
Leopards adapted to South Africa's Cape so successfully that they're genetically unique
Animals of the same species don't always look the same. From birds with different beak shapes to mammals that vary in size or color, populations living in diffe...

Hibernating bears reveal clues to fighting muscle loss
During hibernation, brown bears spend up to six months lying almost completely still, without eating, drinking or exercising. When spring arrives, they leave th...
Drug discovery bottleneck? Cell-free platform screens peptides faster, even in harsh conditions
Many biological functions are regulated by the switching on and off of mechanisms triggered by the matching of a keyhole (receptor) formed by a protein's three-...
High-performance cell atlas workflow driven by manifold fitting
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed CellScope, a high-performance single-cell analysis framework that uses manifold fitti...
New computation method for climate extremes: Researchers reveal 10-fold increase in heat over Europe
How much will heat, flooding, drought and storms increase as a result of human-induced climate change? In a groundbreaking study, climate researcher Gottfried K...
