The second phase of a high-definition deep-space active observation facility, China Fuyan, which is dubbed as the world’s most far-reaching radar system, kicked off in Southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality, the Global Times learned from the project lead Be…

Snippets from Nature’s past.

Carbon nanotubes are a novel material that is 100 times stronger than steel while only one-fourth its weight and has electrical conductivity as high as that of copper. If fibers could be made using carbon nanotubes, theoretically, these fibers could surpass t…

Baby kangaroo feces might help provide an unlikely solution to the environmental problem of cow-produced methane, a WSU study indicates.

The insights from a review paper on quantum transport could lead to the innovation of novel materials and devices to manage and control transport at the nanoscale.

Whether the light in our living spaces is on or off can be regulated in everyday life simply by reaching for the light switch. However, when the space for the light is shrunk to a few nanometers, quantum mechanical effects dominate, and it is unclear whether …

Scientists discover fossil of giant 150kg penguin that walked the Earth 57 million years ago

Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD) simulations and biochemical experiments in E.Coli provide mechanistic insight into how Presenilin-1 familial Alzheimer’s disease mutations affect structural dynamics and enzyme-substrate interactions of γ-secreta…

In our solar system, everything seems to be in order: The smaller rocky planets, such as Venus, Earth or Mars, orbit relatively close to our star. The large gas and ice giants, such as Jupiter, Saturn or Neptune, on the other hand, move in wide orbits around …

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalucía (IAA) of the State Agency Spanish Research Council (CSIC) has finished the deployment of the BOOTES Network (Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System), the first network of robotic telescopes with statio…

The pressure exerted by the frozen ocean is believed to be responsible for the deep, elongated depressions or fractures seen on the moon's circumference.

There has long been a limiting factor in the development of space-based telescopes – launch fairings. These capsules essentially limit the overall size of the mirrors we are able to launch into space, thereby limiting the sensitivity of many of those instrume…

The comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) which made its closest approach to Earth on February 1 is now heading out of the solar system, astronomers revealed.

Computer software developed at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis can predict what happens to complex gene networks when individual genes are missing or dialed up more than usual. Such genetic networks play key roles in early embry

Scientific Reports - Standoff detection of bacterial spores by field deployable coherent Raman spectroscopy

Together with the strawberry, the PGI Senise pepper is a characteristic product of the local heritage of the region of Basilicata; both of them generate quite high yields for farmers compared…

Astronomers have long been aware that planetary systems are not necessarily structured like our solar system. Researchers from the Universities of Bern and Geneva, as well as from the National Centre of Competence in Research PlanetS, have now shown

A tunable laser hat can be inkjet-printed.

Russia's Progress 83 (MS-22) cargo ship docked with the International Space Station on Feb. 11, 2023. See the approach and docking in this time-lapse. Full S...

Researchers from the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science identified that certain reefs in the tropical Pacific Ocean could retain high coral cover into the second half of the current century by shuffling the symbiot…

Spain's National Research Council (CSIC) has completed the first network of robotic telescopes present on the five continents, known as the BOOTES network.

What does FINDER MK4, the device that can detect people under debris from heartbeat, offer? Here are the details about the device! It has been 4 days since the earthquake that occurred in the Pazarcık

You may have heard of the "love hormone," or oxytocin. But you may not know that scientists have relied on cuddly rodents like the prairie vole to help us un...

One of the most often used experimental models in plant science is the Solanaceae plant Nicotiana benthamiana. Several scientists believed that N.

A new cargo mission will deliver supplies to the International Space Station early on Saturday, restocking the Expedition 68 crew. The orbital occupants
