With a big assist from artificial intelligence and a heavy dose of human touch, Tim Cernak's lab at the University of Michigan has made a discovery that dramatically speeds up the time-consuming chemical process of building molecules that will be tomorrow's m…

Most proteins localize to distinct protein-rich droplets in cells. Such proteins contain features that function as address labels, telling the protein which condensate to move into. When the labels get "screwed up", this could be the cause of many unresolved …

The grand telescope was not built to track very fast moving objects, but it managed nonetheless.

NASA has test-fired a "certification engine for the new batch of RS-25 engines" on Feb. 8, 2023 at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, according to Aer...

Protected marine areas are one of the essential tools for the conservation of natural resources affected by human impact —mainly fishing—, but, are they eno

In 1992, humanity's effort to understand the universe took a significant step forward. That's when astronomers discovered the first exoplanets. They're named Poltergeist (Noisy Ghost) and Phobetor (Frightener), and they orbit a pulsar about 2300 light-years a…

The discovery of a new form of ice may help scientists better understand water on Earth and in outer space.

A Russian KOSMOS 2499 satellite broke up last month — for a second time — according to the Space Force’s 18th Space Defense Squadron. In a recent tweet, the Space Force said they are currently tracking 85 individual pieces of debris at an altitude of 1,169 km…

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a looming threat to global health. Bacteria that develop genetic resistance to antibiotics cause millions of human deaths annually. Yet genetic resistance is only one of the many ways bacteria can survive antibiotics.

The ring system is around a newly discovered dwarf planet, named Quaoar, which is around half the size of Pluto and orbits the Sun beyond Neptune.

The Concordia Research Station provides a unique location for preparatory activities for future human journey to Mars, to explore microbial diversity at subzero temperatures, and monitor the dissemination of human-associated microorganisms within the pristine…

The fate of galaxies is determined by the initial mass distribution at the birth of a new population of stars in the diverse and vast Universe. This relationship is referred to as the Initial Mass Function (IMF). For over 50 years, astronomers have believed t…

A new technical paper was published by researchers at University of Sussex, Universal Quantum Ltd, University College London and University of Bristol. “As quantum computers grow, we will eventually be... » read more

This easy-to-use guide provides best practices and “tricks of the trade” to help the payload developer successfully work with NASA on designing, developing, and flying a payload on the space station.

On this episode of Lifespan News, Emmett Short explains a recent study discussing a gene therapy that has allowed mice to express reprogramming factors.ScriptCellular reprogramming is one of the hottest topics in longevity science right now. In fact,...

Ongoing climate change driven by greenhouse gas emissions is often discussed in terms of global average warming. For example, the landmark Paris Agreement seeks

When two rocks interact with each other in a fault zone, the roughness of their surfaces could influence the outcome, including when they cause earthquakes. Still, the underlying mechanics of this relationship remain unclear.

Astrophysicists propose geoengineering solution to climate warming, although skeptics still urge ‘massive’ fossil fuel cutbacks

According to new research, tens of thousands of years ago, our hominid ancestors, the Neanderthals, wined and dined on crabs.

Cornell scientists have unearthed precise, microscopic clues to where magma is stored in Earth’s mantle, offering scientists – and government officials – a way to gauge volcanic eruption risk.

These small cleaner fish could distinguish themselves from other swimmers.

Decisions by policymakers and managers often rely on predictions and forecasts provided by experts. For instance, policymakers may increase public investments if they anticipate economic stagnation, and companies may introduce new products if they anticipate …
