Most methods of editing bacterial genomes use plasmids to transfer DNA between bacterial cells, but this approach isn’t always efficient in mixed microbial communities. This research instead developed a new phage-based DNA delivery tool that leverages these v…

Hydrothermal vents have been identified as a previously undiscovered source of dissolved black carbon in the oceans, furthering the understanding of the role of oceans as a carbon sink.

Researchers have found that the movement of glaciers in Greenland is more complex than previously thought, with deformation in regions of warmer ice containing small amounts of water accounting for motion that had often been assumed to be caused by sliding wh…

The researchers from Shenzhen University, for the first time, developed 3D printed fiber microprobe for measuring in vivo biomechanical properties of tissue and even single cell. The achievement could have a widespread impact on the future development of all-…

<p>Australian scientists have discovered a receptor in the human body that &quot;blocks&quot; coronavirus infections and forms a natural protective barrier from the virus.</p>

It is expected that a major blackout can take place soon due to a warning issued regarding a massive level solar storm headed the Earth's way anytime soon.

Scientists say hypothetical solar shield in orbit could temper climate change; skeptics call proposal a distraction

Scientists discovered the fossilized remains of a penguin roughly the size of a silverback gorilla on a beach in New Zealand. The fossil dated back more than 55 million years

Scientists have finally figured out how the world's deadliest mushroom, the death cap, is spreading across the U.S. so quickly.

A damselfly species that came to the UK from Europe poses a minimal risk to native damselflies and dragonflies, new research shows.

Researchers from the University of Rochester and the University of Colorado Boulder used experiments and zircon chemistry to build more accurate computer models of fluids that act as pathways from inner Earth to Earth's surface. The models allow researchers t…

Scientists have found that these "tunnels" may magnify light by a factor of 100,000, which is key to finding them out in space.

They say it would've weighed a whopping 350 pounds. That's more than an ostrich.

Researchers have used an innovative new strategy combining nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and a quantum modeling theory to describe the microscopic structure of Kagome superconductor RbV3Sb5 at 103 degrees Kelvin, which is equivalent to about 275 degrees …

Computer software can predict what happens to complex gene networks when individual genes are missing or dialed up more than usual. Mapping the roles of single genes in these networks is key to understanding healthy development and finding ways to regrow dama…

One NASA-funded lunar cubesat has recovered from a communications glitch while engineers are developing backup plans for another cubesat.

A collaboration between scientists at Cambridge and University College London has led to the discovery of a new form of ice that more closely resembles liquid water than any other and may hold the key to understanding this most famous of liquids. The new form…

A new machine learning technique will help astronomers detect young exoplanets in disks surrounding other stars.

A moon-dust shield is the latest in a series of risky, last-resort geoengineering proposals to shield Earth from the sun and stop global warming.

A momentous accomplishment occurred last week when Perseverance completed the Three Forks Sample Depot on the floor of Jezero Crater, the only known sample depot in the universe.

ASCENT propulsion system just didn't work

In the foothills of a Martian mountain, NASA's Curiosity rover found stunning new evidence of an ancient lake in the form of rocks etched with the ripples of waves — and the telltale signs appeared in the unlikeliest of places.

The team is taking a little time to work through the best strategy for drilling here, so today’s plan just focused on collecting additional contact science and remote sensing data from around the future Dinira drill target.

Rings in the Solar System are not exactly rare.
