A meta-analysis of peer-review data from over 300,000 biological sciences manuscripts reveals worse review outcomes for authors from historically excluded groups, and limited data evaluating the effectiveness of interventions to address bias in peer review.
Scientists from Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xi'an, China have grown antler-like structures on the foreheads of mice by transplanting stem cells from deer.
One of the first practical applications of the much-hyped but little-used quantum computing technology is now within reach, thanks to a unique approach that sidesteps the major problem of scaling up such prototypes.
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a hard crystalline compound of silicon and carbon that rarely occurs in nature and is generally synthetically produced. In addition to being used to create ceramic plates, bulletproof vests and other commercial products, SiC is a semi…
The massive asteroid 2023 CM is estimated to be as much as 320 meters in diameter and is set to pass Earth. It won't hit, but if it did, it could devastate a continent.

The International Space Station (ISS), a monumental structure that has been orbiting the Earth since 1998, has faced a recurring threat from space debris.
Physicists led by Prof Raphael Wittkowski and Prof Uwe Thiele from the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Münster has developed a new model for the dynamics of systems consisting of many self-propelled particles.
We're expecting the third launch attempt of Relativity Space's 3D-printed rocket and new insights into what President Biden's proposed budget means for NASA.
While Siri and Google Assistant may be able to organize meetings on demand, they currently lack the social intelligence to prioritize the appointments on their own.
From microscopes and cameras to night vision devices and optical fiber communications, photodetectors have a wide array of applications. Photodetectors capture and convert light into electrical signals but are often limited to detecting a narrow part of the w…
In this study, the researchers utilized conductive atomic force microscopy (c-AFM) to investigate the potential of nanostructured and bimetallic copper-gold electrocatalysts for carbon-dioxide electroreduction.
Using the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), an international team of astronomers has conducted X-ray polarimetric observations of an accreting X-ray pulsar known as Vela X-1. Results of the observational campaign, presented March 3 on the arXiv pre-p…
A new single-cell encapsulation, lysis and barcoding method of cDNA is faster and requires less equipment, hardware, expense and expertise. It has been demonstrated to be compatible and scalable with any size container, from 500uL microcentrifuge tubes to 50 …
Analysis of the data from this satellite reveals that China and the US emit the most CO2, followed by India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil, Mexico, Iran, Japan, and Germany.
NASA recently confirmed its DART mission was a success, but the agency had help from 31 citizen scientists who watched the epic event unfold from their
Ordinary people around the world used small telescopes to help NASA shoot an asteroid off its course in humanity's first planetary defense test known as the DART mission.
A new experiment pulled off the most precise measurement of an electron’s self-generated magnetic field—and the universe’s subatomic model is at stake.
