Oxytocin improves contact between mothers with postpartum depression and their child
Researchers at Radboud University and the Radboudumc found that mothers with postpartum depression benefit from oxytocin nasal spray. The oxytocin causes mothers to respond more positively to their newborn child. 'Although extra oxytocin does not affect mothers' caregiving behavior and stress levels, it does contribute to better contact between mother and child.'
Breakthrough in spintronic devices for ultra-thin quantum circuits
Scientists from TU Delft have observed quantum spin currents in graphene for the first time without using magnetic fields. These currents are vital for spintronics, a faster and more energy-efficient alternative to electronics. This breakthrough, published in Nature Communications , marks an important step towards technologies like quantum computing and advanced memory devices.
When brands sell direct, how do retail partners respond?
In the evolving landscape of retail, brands increasingly pursue direct-to-consumer (DTC) strategies to gain greater control over customer relationships and data. According to Michiel Van Crombrugge, Associate Professor at Erasmus School of Economics, this shift, however, can strain relationships with traditional retail partners.
Living layer for promising robotic heart
Researchers from Eindhoven are working with partners on the Hybrid Heart: a soft robotic heart that should eventually be able to attract the body's own cells to prevent rejection and complications. The research consortium has now published the first test results with an early prototype in Nature Communications.
More than ’just’ fun: Gaming for science
TU/e researcher explores the intersection of psychology, computer science and game design. Some unwind with a puzzle game on the couch, others dive into a shooter with friends. But as the newest research shows, games don't just entertain-they can offer insight and even sharpen the mind.
Unexpected vulnerability of Meuse after summer high water 2021
The extreme summer high water of July 2021 showed how vulnerable and unpredictable the Meuse (Maas) is.
Unique fingerprints on ancient statues revealed in groundbreaking research on Artus Quellinus
On the occasion of Amsterdam 750, the Royal Palace Amsterdam and the Rijksmuseum join forces in the first major exhibition dedicated to Artus Quellinus, the most important Baroque sculptor of the Dutch Golden Age.
Self-learning neural network cracks iconic black holes
A team of astronomers led by Michael Janssen (Radboud University, The Netherlands) has trained a neural network with millions of synthetic black hole data sets. Based on the network and data from the Event Horizon Telescope, they now predict, among other things, that the black hole at the center of our Milky Way is spinning at near top speed. The astronomers publish their results and methodology in three papers in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.
