Mice who inhale CO2 within hours after forming a new fearful memory show more distress when subsequently prompted to retrieve the memory. This memory-strengthening effect of CO2 requires a functional ASIC1A gene in the mouse brain. The effect is time-dependent, unique to CO2, and specific to only certain types of memories, such as fearful sound cues or environmental contexts.

Ontario had one of the strongest endangered species laws in the world because the people of Ontario care about our natural heritage. But, throughout their term of office, the current government has done everything in their power to remove or avoid those protections. And now the government has a new proposal – and it’s terrible for endangered species.

The town of Tangier on Tangier Island, Chesapeake Bay, has lost 62% of its original habitable upland area since 1967, a new study has found. It will see further decline within the next 15-30 years, leaving hundreds of people without homes and income.

A new ultrasound technique that measures the strength of atomic bonds within two-dimensional (2D) materials, as well as the weaker forces between layers, has shown that the velocity of sound within these materials depends on the layers’ stacking arrangement. The technique, which was developed by researchers in the UK, could be used to craft “designer” 2D compounds by stacking layers in different ways while monitoring their bonding forces and studying how these relate to the materials’ physical a
