Bacteria really eat plastic!

Learn about a groundbreaking new method developed to understand space weather that only requires a 3cm glass sphere.

The comet was named to refer to those who first spotted it – astronomers using the wide-field survey camera at the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) in the US, in March 2022.

Research reveals these genes are not gone but muted, and the method used may pave the way for treating genetic conditions from baldness to cancer

A group of scientists just created a mobile cybernetic entity using robotics and the manipulated muscle mass of a dead animal. Neat! Here’s the abstract from the paper, titled “Remote c…

By Hina Alam THE CANADIAN PRESS When scientists determined in the mid-1970s that the Mistastin crater in Labrador had lunar-like properties, the last Apollo mission had flown and it was too late for astronauts to take advantage of the site for training.   But…

Two of the most forward-thinking agencies in the United States are joining forces to foster the development of advanced space...

Cells from people with fragile X syndrome overproduce — but don’t accumulate — proteins. New work suggests that excessive protein breakdown may account for this discrepancy, and explain some of the syndrome’s traits.

These miniature robots are fast enough to match an insect's rapid escape time.

Research suggests the Earth’s core is in a 70-year-cycle where it spins in one direction and stops, before spinning in the other direction.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carried more than four dozen Starlink satellites into the low-Earth orbit  in a launch from the California coast. The rocket lifted of at 7:43 a.m. California time from Vandenberg Space Force Base, located northwest of Santa Barbara. …

A team from UNIGE and LMU developed a transport nanoparticle to make an anti-inflammatory drug much more effective and less toxic. How can a drug be delivered exactly where it is needed, while limiting the risk of side effects? The use of nanoparticles to enc…

GS Paper 3 Syllabus: Conservation, Environmental Pollution and Degradation   Source: TH   Direction: The article seeks to discuss light pollution, its causes, effects, and recommendations for reducing it.   Context: In 2022, the district administration of Lad…

Shijian 23 and its apparent subsatellite could be conducting technology verification tests.

To demonstrate the capabilities of the pipeline, scientists want to establish a 5-km-long link of pipe segments made up of various metals extracted from the South Pole itself.

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) was used by researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to capture the first 3D structure of the entire SPOP assembly. The findings were published in the journal Molecular Cell. They discovered previously unknown SP…

The lunar surface is covered in sand composed of metals and oxygen. By extracting the oxygen from this sand, it can be used by astronauts to breathe.

A scientifically valuable space rock.

The new super space telescope has been studying some of the darkest, coldest regions of space.
