Founded following the expulsion of Erik the Red from Iceland in 985 AD, the Norse colonies of Greenland prospered for centuries but then disappeared, almost suddenly, around 1400. Today only several ruins and remnants of what was once a relatively large community trading with other Viking and continental European societies of the time remain. According to a new study, conducted by James H. Barrett, a researcher at the Department of Archaeology at the University of Cambridge, the end of these communities was decreed by the exploitation of local walrus populations,…

This is also confirmed by a new study that appeared in BMJ Open: grandparents who take care of their grandchildren are characterised by a lower risk of experiencing loneliness and social isolation in general. It is precisely those grandparents who are generally part of larger social networks, all the more so if the people who make up these networks are important to them, they are therefore less likely to feel lonely. The researchers analyzed the responses of 3849 people to a survey in which several German adults between 40 and…

The clitoris is important for reproduction and is therefore not a mere organ dedicated to stimulation and achieving orgasm. This is what a new study in Clinical Anatomy claims, according to which clitoral stimulation activates certain processes in the brain which in turn lead to a combination of various changes in the female reproductive tract. These changes mean that the same reproductive tract is ready to receive and process sperm in order to obtain more efficient and likely fertilization of the place. These changes include improved vaginal blood flow, increased…

A new step forward has been taken by researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory regarding wireless charging, particularly of electric vehicles. The researchers have in fact created new methods for wireless charging that, as defined in the same press release that presents the study, could double the power density of classic systems. For the same power, for example, the system could be much lighter than today’s technologies. The new method of wireless charging involves the use of two coils, one applied under the vehicle and the other at street…

Overweight dog owners are more at risk of having overweight dogs: this is the result of the special research conducted by the University of Copenhagen. According to the research communiqué, the risk is “considerably higher” than for owners with a normal weight. The researchers analyzed the data of 268 adult dogs of which 20% were overweight or obese. According to the same researchers, the correlation is explained by the way in which dog owners manage the diets of animals. Basically, while normal dog owners only use the treats for training…

Coral reefs and several aquatic animals were at the height of their diversity some 150 million years ago, before dinosaurs began to rule the world. This is claimed by a new study in the Journal of the Linnean Society conducted by researchers at the University of California at Berkeley. The study describes extensive coral reefs that existed during the Jurassic in the Tethys Sea, a shallow sea that covered the area that now belongs to Central Europe and that stretched from the region of today’s Spain to Asia. This reef…

A mechanism never discovered that regulates the release of insulin in the body has been discovered by a group of researchers at the University of Uppsala. The inefficiency or interruption of the release of insulin in the body is at the root of type 2 diabetes from which about 400 million people worldwide suffer. Insulin is a hormone whose task is to lower blood glucose levels and is released by the beta cells of the pancreas. Usually, the level of insulin production is lowered by the inability of the granules…

A new study has focused on the amount of fishing gear that was abandoned or lost in the sea. These objects account for a large proportion of all global marine pollution. To conduct the study, Kelsey Richardson, a student of the CSIRO Marine Debris Team, used the data contained in 68 studies published between 1975 and 2017. The researchers found that there are three main factors that lead to the loss of fishing gear at sea: bad weather, the locking of the gear at the bottom of the sea and…

A new possible pharmacological target to combat Alzheimer’s disease has been discovered by a group of researchers from the Queensland Brain Institute. The researchers found that the enzyme dPI3K is responsible for the production of a particular toxic peptide that accumulates in the plaques of the brains of Alzheimer’s patients “causing chaos,” as specified by Ramón Martínez-Mármol who conducted the study with Frédéric A. Meunier. In addition, this same enzyme produces an important signaling protein involved in the inflammation. The researchers carried out experiments on mice with Alzheimer’s disease: by…

A difficult childhood or traumas that occurred at an early age can then cause significant psychological problems that can continue into adulthood. A new study, conducted by researchers from the School of Medicine at Washington University, shows, however, that adverse childhood experiences, such as abandonment or abuse, can even change the structure of the brain. To be precise, difficult childhood experiences can cause a slowdown in the growth of certain areas of the brain during adolescence. The data used by the researchers are part of a 15-year study of 211…

In Genesis 36:31 of the Bible is described an Edomite kingdom that would have lived at the beginning of the fifth century BC: “the kings who reigned in the land of Edom, before a king of the Israelites reigned.” However, there are different conflicting interpretations of this passage. A new study, published in PLOS ONE and conducted by researchers from the University of Tel Aviv, seems to show, however, that this kingdom flourished in the desert of Arava, a region now belonging to Israel and Jordan, between the twelfth and…

A geologist has indirectly analyzed the continental regions made of rocks between the mantle and the Earth’s core, regions that have been isolated since the origin of the Earth and that collision event that, it is thought, created the Moon about 4.5 billion years ago. These layers would still be almost intact and would represent the last rocky bulwark before the molten core and the solid metal core in the center of the Earth. This is what the study that appeared in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems conducted by Curtis Williams, a…

A brain implant that allows people who have lost their sight to benefit from some sort of new vision system was developed by scientists at the University of California in Los Angeles. The implant has already been tested on a person, Jason Esterhuizen, who became blind seven years ago following a car accident. The experimental device was implanted in his brain and, while it does not provide a true view of the reality surrounding the patient, it does improve the patient’s ability to navigate the environment and do things that,…

One of the greatest mysteries of anthropology may have been solved by a group of researchers at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University: why have Neanderthal men died out? Was it a specific virus that only affected these hominids? Was there a catastrophic event? The team of anthropologists, led by Samuel Márquez, in a study published in the Anatomical Record suggests that the Neanderthals could have been extinguished by a childhood disease caused by a chronic infection in the ear. The researchers claim to have reconstructed, for the first time, the…

More than 3 billion birds have disappeared in North America alone since 1970, according to a study by Ken Rosenberg, an animal conservation scientist at Cornell University’s ornithological laboratory, who published his own study, together with his colleagues, on Science. This is 30% of the total and many of the species would have been placed in the category of animals in danger of extinction. Most of the species that have disappeared are sparrows and blackbirds. These numbers and data show how many different species of birds can run into extinction,…

A group of researchers at the University of Nagoya has come up with a new method of killing the most resistant pathogenic bacteria. The researchers developed a method using artificial blood proteins. Artificial blood proteins can be used as a “Trojan horse” to selectively transport antimicrobial agents to targeted bacteria. This allows for specific and more effective sterilization. This technique, tested with the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium that can often be found in hospitals and that has become resistant to antibiotics, has proven to be 99.9% effective but, as…
