Actin filaments — protein structures critical to living movement from single cells to animals — have long been known to have polarity associated with their physical characteristics, with growing “barbed” and shrinking “pointed” ends. The ends of the
Darlinghurst [Australia], June 9 (ANI): Researchers found a powerful new stem cell technique has enabled large-scale studies of the relationship between human genetics and biology. The study’s findings were just published in ‘Nature Communications.’ Using a m…
The University of Alabama at Birmingham has been awarded $8 million from the United States Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Agency. Distributed over five years, the award will establish one of nine Stewardship Science Academic Allianc
New research from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has shown that the magnetic fields in 30 Doradus — a region of ionized hydrogen at the heart of the Large Magellanic Cloud — could be the key to its surprising behavior. Most of th…
Antibiotics that attack multiple targets in bacteria are thought to reduce the frequency of resistance. The authors show that genomic amplifications of poorly characterized efflux pumps can instead lead to high-frequency antibiotic cross-resistance.
A radical breakthrough in Quantum Computing platforms led by NVIDIA, Rolls-Royce and Classiq is going to transform the design and efficiency of the next generation of Jet Engines.
NASA's JWST revealed a groundbreaking discovery about the true nature of main belt comets. The surprising presence of water in a main belt comet is challengi...
The researchers focused their efforts on the middle of the Milky Way galaxy, since the area's exceptional stellar population makes it the ideal place to spot habitable exoplanets.
In 1871, the French anatomist Louis-Antoine Ranvier demonstrated something special about neurons in vertebrates – they have structures that allow signals to jump at high speeds. Now, for the first time, researchers have shown that similar structures exist in …
First Detection of Secondary Black Hole in OJ 287 Binary System An international team of astronomers observed the second one of the two supermassive black holes circling each other in an active galaxy OJ 287. Researchers have discovered two supermassive black…
Scientists have designed a helmet for American football players that contains liquid shock absorbers that could reduce the impact of blows to the head by a third.
These 5 asteroids are dashing towards Earth and could pass the planet at extremely close distances in the coming days! NASA has revealed details such as speed, distance of approach, size, and more.
Two decades ago, on June 2, 2003, ESA’s Mars Express orbiter launched and began its journey to the Red Planet – Europe’s first-ever mission to Mars. The spacecraft aimed to enter orbit around Mars (something it did in December of that year) and use its vantag…
New York [US], June 9 (ANI): Recent scientific findings have revealed that Neanderthal genes compose 1 to 4 per cent of the genome of modern-day humans whose ancestors moved out of Africa, but the issue of how much those genes are still actively influencing h…
