Many children struggle to learn math, but it’s not well understood why.

A new study identifies links between brain structure, genes, and individual differences in mathematical abilities and predicts learning outcomes in two math tutoring cohorts. scim.ag/79Q

Transplantation of young bone marrow stem cells into older mice with Alzheimer’s-like disease can reduce the pathological accumulation of amyloid β and reverse cognitive decline, according to a new study. scim.ag/78K

An agent-based model predicts #cell types and uses data from E. coli to analyze how cells respond to stress and adapt to antibiotic drug exposure. scim.ag/77O Imperial_Maths UK Research and Innovation

Aerosol-cloud interactions are a vital part of regulating the Earth’s climate.

A new study identifies cloud-surface coupling, where clouds are influenced by the land beneath them, as a key factor in aerosol-cloud interactions. scim.ag/77p

A new study involving 30 years of data on stick insects in the wild strengthens the theory that evolution does, for the most part, repeat itself in a predictable manner. scim.ag/775

In the latest issues of Science, Science Translational Medicine, and Science Advances, the #PsychENCODE Consortium lay out findings based on examining human brains at the single-cell level. scim.ag/73Y (THREAD 🧵) #DecodingTheBrain

A new system composed of human olfactory receptors, artificial synapses, and a neural network can nose out four different short-chain fatty acids that serve as disease biomarkers for gastric cancer and halitosis. scim.ag/76n

Shape-morphing structures in soft robotics are often limited by the work needed for their initial manufacture or the inability to maintain their shape afterward.

This approach takes advantage of tensile-induced buckling for easy and robust construction: scim.ag/76a

A new #MachineLearning technique can more accurately find fragments of unidentified #PFAS in environmental and human samples. scim.ag/75R

A new study suggests that following an intermittent keto diet causes less damage to cells and organs in mice. scim.ag/72i

The cool period following an intense aquatic heatwave can be just as detrimental to phytoplankton communities as the heatwave itself, according to new experiments. scim.ag/71h

Around the world, music tends to have a higher, more stable pitch and slower timing than language does, according to a new analysis. scim.ag/70L
