CARDIFF, Wales, Aug. 3 (TNSres) -- Cardiff University issued the following news: School children are helping neuroscientists to understand the science behind curiosity, and how it can impact learning and memory. Researchers and science educators from Cardiff University have paired with five primary schools across the city to investigate children's inquisitive nature and find out what this can teach us about learning and how it can shape curiosity-led learning in schools. Children aged 7-10 ye  more

MUNICH, Germany, Aug. 3 (TNSres) -- The Technical University of Munich issued the following news: The origins of life remain a major mystery. How were complex molecules able to form and remain intact for prolonged periods without disintegrating? A team at ORIGINS, a Munich-based Cluster of Excellence, has demonstrated a mechanism that could have enabled the first RNA molecules to stabilize in the primordial soup. When two RNA strands combine, their stability and lifespan increase significantly.  more
