An Austrian and Spanish team demonstrated that a process can be ‘rewound’ to restore the components of an atom to their previous state

WASHINGTON: US space agency NASA and SpaceX on Tuesday (Feb 21) pushed back by 24 hours the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket that is to carry four astronauts to the International Space Station. NASA's Stephen Bowen and Warren Hoburg, Russia's Andrey Fedyaev and Su…

A University at Buffalo-led study explores ‘balancing selection’ by analyzing thousands of modern human genomes alongside ancient hominin groups, such as Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes. The research has “implications for understanding human diversity, the …

Researchers at the Shih Microfluidics Lab have developed a new method of extracting enzymes that degrade the cell walls of harmful micro-organisms such as other fungal pathogens, nematodes or other pathogens that can impact crop health. In effect, it acts as …

At Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source and its Center for Nanoscale Materials, physicist Volker Rose’s team built a one-of-a-kind microscope. They developed techniques to combine the chemical sensitivity of synchrotron X-rays with the high spatial resolution of …

A new wireless terahertz communication system enables a super-cold quantum computer to send and receive data without generating too much error-causing heat.

New simulations of two black holes colliding near the speed of light reveal the mysterious physics of what one astrophysicist calls “one of the most violent events you can imagine in the universe.”

UConn researcher Wei Ren sees the interconnections between the systems in nature and how each component impacts the others. In Connecticut, rich in forests and farmland, Ren sees the potential that could position the state at the forefront of a climate-smart …

An effective, stable solid-state electrochemical transistor has been developed, heralding a new era in thermal management technology.

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, 10.29026/oea.2023.220105 discusses deep learning enhanced NIR-II volumetric imaging of whole mice vasculature.

Did viruses show up on Earth before or after living cells? A microbiologist uses the fossil record to explain.

Seismic waves travel differently through innermost core than through outer section.

Mars rovers tasked with hunting for traces of biology could roll over microscopic life forms without smelling a thing, simply because their instruments aren't up to the task.

In the arid and drought-stricken western Great Basin, sparse surface water means rural communities often rely on private groundwater wells. Unlike municipal water systems, well water quality in private wells is unregulated, and a new study shows that more tha…

An international research team demonstrates that the European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) uses volatile fungal metabolites of plant defense substances as important chemical signals in their attack on spruce trees. The researchers also show that the i…

Current state-of-the-art instrumentation being sent to Mars to collect and analyze evidence of life might not be sensitive enough to make accurate assessments, according to new research.

Takeaki Ozawa and his team from the University of Tokyo reveal the metabolic reactions upon activating an enzyme called Akt2. In doing so, they reveal the inne

US space agency NASA and SpaceX on Tuesday pushed back by 24 hours the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket that is to carry four astronauts to the International Space Station.

Scientists transform blood cells to regain a flexible fate, growing into a precursor of sperm cells.

When two black holes collide into each other to form a new bigger black hole, they violently roil spacetime around them, sending ripples called gravitational wa

In a new study, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have shown how a brain-inspired image sensor can go beyond the diffraction limit

An international team of researchers has demonstrated a switch, analogous to a transistor, made from a single molecule called fullerene. By using a carefully tuned laser pulse, the researchers are able to use fullerene to switch the path of an incoming electr…

A new study brings this vision closer to reality. The researchers unveil a computational method for designing thousands of different active enzymes with unprecedented efficiency by assembling them from engineered modular building blocks.

The trawling of thousands of satellite measurements using artificial intelligence has shown researchers that meltwater in tunnels beneath Greenland's ice sheet causes it to change speed, and in some places, accelerate greatly towards the ocean. This can incre…

Scientists have identified the exact point at which healthy brain proteins are shocked into the tangled mess that is commonly associated with Alzheimer's disease.
