A crew of experts have used chaos theory to 3D-print stunning pieces of jewelry. As Einstein himself once said, "the greatest scientists are always artists as well."

The final full moon of meteorological winter illuminated the weekend sky, and for some skywatchers across the eastern United States, it created an eye...

It’s not necessarily good or bad for climate change, the researchers said -- but it will improve our climate models.

Researchers at the Champalimaud Foundation and the University of Minho, in Portugal, have found evidence of resonant waves in rat brain activity using ultrafast and ultrahigh field magnetic resonance imaging. Their work demonstrates from simple fundamental pr…

Rice University's laboratory creates a new imaging tool with the potential for cancer treatment. Talk about a bright idea: Lighting up the brain is no longer just a figure of speech, thanks to innovative chemists at Rice University and Stanford University. Ri…

The space rock is small for an asteroid, but it's still the size of the Colosseum in Rome.

Individual atoms trapped by optical ‘tweezers’ are emerging as a promising computational platform.

European astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected a previously unknown asteroid about the size of Rome's Colosseum in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Synthetic chemicals have increased too rapidly over the years, jeopardizing the health of humans and the planet. Now Seed and the Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma are combining microbiome science and epithelial immunology knowledge to thwart these threat…

An incredibly rare star system, which will eventually tear itself apart in a powerful explosion that creates heavy metals such as gold, has been spotted for ...

According to researchers at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, rockets ‘punching’ through the stratosphere could contribute to ozone depletion.

A generative deep learning model of molecular structure is combined with supervised deep learning models of molecular properties to achieve high-throughput (multi-)property-driven design of organic molecules.

It's now been half a decade since SpaceX turned heads around the world with its decision to launch Elon Musk's personal Tesla roadster into outer space, sending the car on

SpaceX launched a Tesla roadster belonging to company founder and billionaire Elon Musk in 2018, and what's left of the car may still be in orbit today.

White dwarfs comprise a class of faint stars representing the endpoint of the evolution of intermediate- and low-mass stars. The mass of a white dwarf is the order of that of the sun, but a radius comparable to that of the Earth. A pair of white dwarfs in orb…

Tissue infiltration of neutrophils is a key event of sterile and pathogen-induced inflammation; however, there is at present no non-invasive tool to visualize neutrophil dynamics in the body. Bouvain et al. develop a neutrophil-specific tracer that enables lo…

This description of the Sphagnum (peat moss) genome includes a newly discovered sex chromosome. Interactions among sex, autosomes and environment show direct effects on Sphagnum growth which influences global carbon sequestration.

Postel et al. have determined a multidomain structure of GR in complex with ligand, DNA and a co-regulator peptide that demonstrates how GR forms a distinct architecture on DNA and how signal transmission can be modulated by the ligand pharmacophore.

Using seismic waves, scientists detect widespread partially molten rock hidden under the Earth’s tectonic plates in a new way, a step in settling a long-held geological debate that has big implications in understanding plate motion.

The cosmic inflation hypothesis is needed for the Big Bang model to work, but in its current form, it remains a mere hypothesis, unable to be falsified. A new proposal for how it could be put to the test could result in overthrowing the Big Bang model altoget…

Unique physical/chemical properties and synergetic multi-functions have given Janus films great potential in sensing, actuation, advanced separation, energy conversion and storage, etc. Combining the unique advantages of carbon nanomaterials in electrical con…

INRAE researchers have devised a new way to document leaf and plant organ development using open source software

Hydrocarbons containing five-membered rings have recently been detected in the cold Taurus Molecular Cloud. Here the authors show that the reaction involving ortho-benzyne and the methyl radical plays a critical role in the bottom-up formation of these comple…

An international team of researchers has uncovered what might be a critical step in the chemical evolution of molecules in cosmic "stellar nurseries." In these vast clouds of cold gas and dust in space, trillions of molecules swirl together over millions of y…
