The lightning rods meet the lightning and then boom.

The launch of SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft from Cape Canaveral last night had more on board than just supplies for the International Space Station. It also contained research materials, including some from Bristol Myers Squibb. BMS' project to study the crystal…

Cosmic fireworks, invisible to our eyes, fill the night sky. We can get a glimpse of this elusive light show thanks to the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, which observes the sky in gamma rays, the highest-energy form …

It is not from meteorites, study suggests

There's more than meets the eye to these transforming robots, and they may lend future planetary explorers a hand on the moon and beyond.

How scientists found out that we live in a cosmic aquarium.

A new study using the now-retired Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has pieced together the first detailed, wide-area map of water distribution on the Moon.

Through the use of cryo-electron microscopy and molecular dynamics stimulations, mechanistic insight into the binding of an odorant to the human odorant receptor OR51E2 is provided.

In situ structures of PBS–PSII–PSI–LHC megacomplexes from the alga P. purpureum at near-atomic resolution using cryogenic-electron tomography and in situ single-particle analysis are reported, providing interaction details between PBS, PSII and PSI.

The very low water contents of minerals in achondrite meteorites from the early Solar System show that substantial amounts of water could only have been delivered to Earth by means of unmelted material.

A study details the creation of an Escherichia coli genetically recoded organism that is resistant to viral infection, and describes a further modification that keeps the organism and its genetic information biocontained.

Whole-genome doubling induces the loss of segregation of chromatin compartments, and can lead to tumour-promoting epigenetic and transcriptional modifications.

Developed to detect statistical errors, statcheck reduces mistakes in reported P values by up to 4.5-fold.

A frequency-tunable laser based on a hybrid silicon nitride and lithium niobate integrated photonic platform has a fast tuning rate and could be used for optical ranging applications.

A Kondo lattice was realized in AB-stacked MoTe2/WSe2 moiré bilayers and widely and continuously gate-tunable Kondo temperatures were demonstrated.

A massive wall of falling plasma, known as a polar crown prominence, was recently captured in a stunningly-detailed new photo of the sun.

Scientists discuss the legacy and future of GCaMP calcium indicators.

The authors present two technologies for spatially resolved, genome-wide, joint profiling of the epigenome and transcriptome by cosequencing chromatin accessibility and gene expression, or histone modifications and gene expression on the same tissue section a…

Chirality index for light-selective nanoparticles.

The star WR 124 is 30 times the mass of the Sun and has shed 10 Suns' worth of material - so far.

Over the past two decades, an amphibian heart failure-causing fungus has spread throughout Africa, endangering the continent's amphibians.  Hundreds of amphibian species have been wiped off worldwide by chytridiomycosis, the worst vertebrate sickness ever ide…

Researchers create virus-resistant, safely restrained E. coli for medical, industrial applications. In a step forward for genetic engineering and synthetic biology, researchers have modified a strain of Escherichia coli bacteria to be immune to natural viral …

Due to global warming in the Arctic mother bears are spending more time on land, fasting longer & having fewer cubs..! #DWEnvironment #MarineLife #Seagrass--...

‘This is new and terrifying at the same time, because pollution has reached geology,’ one of the scientists remarked.
