KAUST researchers are working to improve the agronomic traits of pigmented rice varieties using genomic studies and CRISPR technology. Their focus is on improving nutrient-rich varieties like the black Indonesian rice Cempo Ireng, transforming it into a short…

The building blocks of atomic nuclei are protons and neutrons, which are themselves made of even more fundamental particles: quarks and gluons. These particles interact via the strong force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. They make up the nucle…

Background Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB) present a significant and escalating hazard to healthcare globally. Context-specific interventions have been implemented for the prevention and control of MDR-GNB in several healthcare facilit…

Tiny circles of DNA harbor cancer-associated oncogenes and immunomodulatory genes promoting cancer development. They arise during the transformation from pre-cancer to cancer, say Stanford Medicine-led team. Tiny circles of DNA that defy the accepted laws of …

A new image clicked by the James Webb Space Telescope has offered a peek into a far-off galaxy called NGC 5068. Located about 17 million light-years away from Earth, the galaxy's image represents millions of stars.Each dot of white light represents a star, an…

It's springtime on campus, which means that flowers and plants of all kinds are bursting to life, growing and blooming. But why? What's going on inside a plant to drive this growth? It's a…

An international team of astrophysicists has discovered hundreds of mysterious structures in the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

Lucas van der Zee hopes to restore current farmland to its natural state by eliminating the vegetation stage of crop-growing.

A team of astrophysicists has discovered a new type of cosmic threads hidden in the centre of the Milky Way galaxy.

New insights into genetic diversity and diseases.

The North Dakota Geological Survey has drafted a report that provides a road map to explore lignite coal and organic-rich mudstone that contains enriched critical minerals.

Earlier this year, Nature co-sponsored a science-fiction essay competition. In Katherine Ember’s winning essay, researchers have an immediate responsibility to the public. They’re asked to act urgently to help society.

Hebrew University researchers, using James Webb telescope, find unique conditions in the early galaxies allowed for the efficient formation of stars, contradicting the accepted theory

The first satellite developed under the Triton-X multi-mission platform programme for low Earth orbit is on its way to be integrated onto the launcher for its inaugural flight.

It took nearly 17 minutes for each picture to reach Earth, nearly 300 million kilometers away from Mars.

The BlackGEM array, a system of three new telescopes located at the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) La Silla Observatory, has begun operations to detect gravitational waves caused by cosmic events like black hole and neutron star mergers. Unlike detecto…

Researchers have just made the unexpected discovery of a novel organization of muscle fibers in Parophidion vassali, a fish that lives in the Mediterranean Sea and, like many fish, uses specialized muscles to produce sounds. This is an important discovery tha…

New genetic evidence suggests the overfishing of cod in the 1900s led the fish to rapidly evolve over decades, according to a study led by Rutgers.

Triggered by earthquakes, undersea volcanoes, and other Earth-shaking forces, tsunamis can devastate coastal communities. And when it comes to providing advance warning, every second counts. Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory are testing a novel a…

This discovery reveals a mostly unstudied but apparently universal aspect of fungal life.
