Physicist David Kohlstedt of the University of Minnesota has been awarded the 2023 Vetlesen Prize, considered by many to be the Earth sciences’ highest honor. In recent decades, he and colleagues have recreated the mantle’s temperature, pressure and chemical …

The occurrence of chemical reactions between like-charged compounds in aqueous solutions is very slow since particles repel each other. A recent breakthrough published in Nature Communications entitled “Effective screening of Coulomb repulsions in water accel…

New study led by the Milner Centre for Evolution at the University of Bath suggests polygamy increases the efficiency of natural selection by reducing harmful mutations.

Exposure to diesel exhaust for just two hours led to changes in brain function connectivity, a measure of how different regions of the brain interact with each other, according to one of the researchers.

Many of us are returning to work or school after spending time with relatives over the summer period. Sometimes we can be left wondering how on earth we

Australia’s Integrated Marine Observing System is using GNSS-equipped buoys to help measure ocean topography.

It's raining and your internet went down. Again. Are the two connected?

Asteroid mining startup AstroForge will be heading to space twice this year, with the first mission taking place in April.

UCSC researchers suggest that introns, a source of molecular complexity unique to eukaryotes, primarily originate from introners. The origins of introns, segments of non-coding DNA that must be removed from genetic code before protein synthesis, are one of th…

In the "butterfly effect," an insect can flap its wings and create a microscopic change in initial conditions that leads to a hurricane halfway around the world. This chaos is seen everywhere, from weather to labor markets to brain dynamics. And now, in the j…

Not just inspired by chaos theory, but directly created from its mathematical principles.

The first launch of an Electron rocket out of the USA will take place out of NASA's Wallops Island, Virginia facility around 6pm ET - and you can stream it here.

Establishment and Methodological Evaluation of a Method for Rapid Detection of Helicobacter pylori and Virulence Genes Based on CRISPR-Cas12a

Scientists have detailed a lifestyle switch that occurs in marine bacteria, where they change from coexisting with algae hosts in a mutually beneficial interaction to suddenly killing them. The results are published today in eLife.

Phase transition in early universe changes strength of interaction between dark and normal matter. Dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics. It is clear that it must exist, because without dark matter, for example, the motion of gal…

Enzymes are substances that cause chemical reactions. Certain types of enzymes, such as polyketide synthases and nonribosomal peptide synthetases, have the ability to shuffle their parts, allowing them to produce new chemicals. If scientists can understand ho…

RNA viruses, such as the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, are in a life-and-death race the moment they infect a cell.

Wisconsin virologists have outlined in atomic detail the intricate RNA replication machines that coronaviruses create inside infected cells, giving rise to pote

Gullies lying on the northeast slopes of Triolet Crater (about 11.6 km in diameter ), are located in the Southern Highlands just east of Gorgonum Chaos.

<p>Their whole class will get to participate in the virtual lunar mission </p>

Recently discovered comet C/2022 E3 is so rare that it was last seen during the Ice Age

NASA and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a research arm of the US Defense Department, are once again setting their sights on a type of rocket engine that could be the holy grail for quickly and safely getting humans to Mars.

Researchers from Montreal and India have detected a radio signal from a galaxy that's nearly nine billion light years away

NASA officials honored members of the agency who lost their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery, leading up to the agency's annual Day of Remembrance on January 26. (Jan.24)
