The discovery of molecular “springs” reveals how hearing is caused
3D models help researchers to better understand the structure and function of the mechanical springs of ion channels. From left to right: Professor Martin Gepfert, Dr. Thomas Effert, Dr. Philip Herat. Credit: Philip Hehlert Auditation begins with the elongation of the elastic molecule “springs,” which open ion channels to the sensory hair cells of the ear. For decades, researchers knew…

Nanoscale analysis reveals a way to prevent tooth erosion caused by carbonated drinks
Schematic diagram of the workflow. Credit: Biomaterials Research (2024). DOI: 10.34133/bmr.0103 A Korean research team has previously used nanotechnology to visualize and scientifically prove the negative effects of carbonated drinks such as cola on dental health, but now they have demonstrated the effectiveness of these drinks in preventing tooth damage. The mechanism of this method was identified. A team led…

A man researching Google Earth discovers a mysterious scar in the Australian outback. Now I know what caused it
Credit: Author provided/Google Earth Earlier this year, a cave explorer was poring over satellite images of the Nullarbor Plain when he discovered something unexpected. It was a huge mysterious scar carved into the barren land. This discovery intrigued scientists, including my colleagues and myself. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the scar was created by a violent tornado that…

El Niño Southern Oscillation caused temperature rise in 2023, research shows
El Niño and La Niña are warm and cold periods of the natural climate pattern across the tropical Pacific Ocean, known as El Niño Southern Oscillation, or “ENSO” for short. This pattern changes erratically every two to seven years, causing predictable changes in ocean temperatures and disrupting normal wind and rain patterns across the tropics. These changes in the seasonal…

Tonga’s volcanic eruption was caused by an explosion equivalent to ‘five underground nuclear bombs,’ new study reveals
Mr. Jinyin Hu and Dr. Thanh-Son Phạm. Credit: Jamie Kidston/ANU Two years on, new research from the Australian National University (ANU) has revealed the main trigger of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history, the Hunga Tonga submarine volcano. The study is published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Until now, the cause of this disaster has remained a…
