Cerebral reperfusion of reading network predicts recovery of reading ability after stroke
New Jersey researchers find early reperfusion of left reading network predicts reading ability in people recovering from left-sided stroke
NASA satellite shows Typhoon Mitag’s large reach over East China Sea
The bulk of Typhoon Mitag’s clouds and precipitation has been pushed north of its center, extending its reach over the East China Sea. Mitag was centered just off the coast of China’s Zhejiang province when NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed…
NASA satellite sees a large Hurricane Lorenzo headed toward Azores
Hurricane Lorenzo was heading toward the Azores Islands when NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite provided forecasters with an image of the storm. Satellite imagery revealed the large extent of the storm. Visible imagery from NASA satellites help forecasters understand if a…
NASA finds Narda’s remnants bringing rain to mexico, headed to southwestern US
The remnant low pressure area that was formerly known as tropical cyclone Narda is still generating rainfall as it moves toward the southwestern U.S. The Global Precipitation Measurement mission or GPM satellite provided a look at the rainfall occurring on…
Scientists improve voiceprint collection
Researchers from HSE University and Nizhny Novgorod State Linguistic University (LUNN) have developed a new method for ensuring quality in automatic voice recording. Resistant to background noise of 10dB and higher, the new algorithm can operate in real-time, making it…
Emerging parasitic disease mimics the symptoms of visceral leishmaniasis in people
WHAT: A new study published this week online in Emerging Infectious Diseases suggests that transmission of a protozoan parasite from insects may also cause leishmaniasis-like symptoms in people. The parasite, however, does not respond to treatment with standard leishmaniasis drugs.…
Predators and hidey-holes are good for reef fish populations
New research highlights two factors that play a critical role in supporting reef fish populations and – ultimately – creating conditions that are more favorable for the growth of both coral reefs and seagrass. “Previous work has shown mixed results…
Just add water: simple step boosts polymer’s ability to filter CO2 from mixed gases
An international team of researchers has found it can significantly boost an existing polymer’s ability to selectively remove carbon dioxide (CO2) out of gas mixtures by first submerging the material in liquid water. “Normally, improving the permeability of a gas…

Molecular motors — Rotation on an eight-shaped path
Chemical engineers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich, Germany, have developed the first molecular motor that enables an eight-shaped movement. Molecular motors convert externally supplied energy into directional motions and are thus an important basis for future applications in nanotechnology. The…
