Scientists solve a mountainous mystery
Scientists have long struggled to explain the formation of dolomite, a mineral that is abundant in ancient rocks. A new theory solves this 200-year-old problem, paving the way for exciting innovations in materials science. Continue reading Scientists solve a mountainous mystery
The birth of the first chimeric monkey that survived for 10 days
The Chimera of Greek myth had a lion’s head, goat’s body, and snake’s tail. Scientists have made a chimeric monkey with cells from two types of monkeys, which could one day lead to better lab models for scientists and donor organs for patients. Continue reading The birth of the first chimeric monkey that survived for 10 days
Taste signals help pace food consumption
New research shows that the perception of taste, in addition to signals from the stomach, may influence how much and how fast we eat. Continue reading Taste signals help pace food consumption
