The researchers looked at a ubiquitin ligase enzyme named FBXL2, known to degrade proteins at various cellular membrane compartments. They found that by attaching or detaching a fat molecule or lipid to FBXL2 — a process called palmitoylation and de-palmitoyl…

Physicists at the University of Konstanz's Cluster of Excellence "Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour" confirm a 50-year-old hypothesis about why selfish behaviour leads to the formation of herds

The spherical blast was triggered by the merger of two very dense stellar remnants called neutron stars. Read more at straitstimes.com.

New research published in Biological Conservation has identified the top factors that determine whether efforts to relocate large carnivores to different areas are successful or not. The findings could support global rewilding efforts, from lynx reintroductio…

Tesla has gone from a niche startup auto manufacturer to the innovating force behind the automotive industry’s shift to electrification

Several thousand planets orbiting other stars have been found so far. Some are “Earthlike.” So far, almost all these planets have been found by detecting slight dimmings of their stars

Ancient climate change may have driven the development of latitudinally skewed patterns of planktonic marine biodiversity that are still apparent today, two papers published in this week’s Natur

The Event Horizon Telescope recently looked at the core of quasar NRAO 530 to see details of a jet streaking out from the central black hole.

The normal rotation is six months, but a longer stay seems likely as leaks keep officials from moving ahead with launch plans.

The researchers replicated the conditions of an interstellar cloud and an asteroid to gain a deeper understanding of how carbonaceous chondrites acquired amino acids. A recent study led by Dr. Danna Qasim, a research scientist at the Southwest Research Instit…

A giant carnivorous dinosaur left behind a record-breaking footprint along the Yorkshire coast 166 million years ago. Researchers studied it to learn more about what creatures lived on the UK's "Dinosaur Coast."

Telomeres—the caps at the ends of chromosomes that protect our genetic materials from the brunt of cellular wear and tear—are known to shorten and fray over time. Lifestyle, diet and stress can exacerbate this process, leading to early loss of telomere protec…

In everyday life, people have to make decisions in uncertain situations in which they have incomplete information, but how individuals behave in such instances

An advanced imaging-based method from scientists at Scripps Research offers a new way of studying mitochondria, which are best known as the "powerhouses" of cells.

It is called Radiocarbon 3.0: it is the newest method developments in radiocarbon dating, and promises to reveal valuable new insights about key events in the e
