Not all flashlights are created equal. Some are stronger, consume more power, or have features such as blinking or strobes. Some aren’t even meant for humans, such as a new project that recently received funding from a NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NI…

In peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy human donors, the superantigens SpeC and TSST-1 are shown to specifically activate TRBV12-3/12-4+ memory T cells.

Inspired by the bubbles bacteria create inside their cells, researchers developed a similar system by coating tiny gas vesicles with protein. The resulting bubbles are safe, highly stable, and function as contrast agent in medical applications. They could be …

The radius valley carries implications for how the atmospheres of small planets form and evolve, but this feature is only visible with highly-precise characterizations of many small planets.

Quantum materials are materials with unique electronic, magnetic or optical properties, which are underpinned by the behavior of electrons at a quantum mechanical level. Studies have showed that interactions between these materials and strong laser fields can…

Researchers evaluated immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccinations.

Being the backbone element of DNA, phosphorus is a key component in the search for life in the Universe.

Antioxidants are often advertised as a cure-all in nutrition and offered as dietary supplements. However, our body also produces such radical scavengers itself, one of which is coenzyme Q. Now researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging hav…

Researchers’ better understanding of copper-oxygen bonds may lead to the development of more efficient superconductors.

A host of astronomical objects throng this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Background galaxies ranging from stately spirals to fuzzy ellipticals are strewn across the image, and bright foreground stars much closer to home are also present, sur…

With diminishing ice one of the biggest casualties of our warming world, it's imperative that accurate measurements continue to be made for scientific research and climate policy, as well as for practical applications such as ship routing.

First Native American woman in space steps out on spacewalk

Scientists have followed the path of a therapeutic nanoparticle into a cell using a combination of several microscopy methods. They were able to observe a cell-internal process that effectively separates blood components and nanoparticles.

A NEWFOUND alien planet is hiding a powerful secret at its core. It is the first planet to be discovered by Europe’s Gaia spacecraft, which started its space-bound mission a decade ago. An in…

Recent advances in analyzing data at the single-cell level have helped biologists make great strides in uncovering new information about cells and their behaviors. One commonly used approach, known as clustering, allows scientists to group cells based on char…

The £1.4bn Juice probe will investigate the giant gas planet and its three large ocean-bearing moons.

Last weekend, highly active sections of the sun turned towards Earth, increasing the risk for solar flares and solar storms to effect communications on Earth. That risk will continue this week, according to a statement from the National Solar Observatory.

The developers are claiming that the BharOS has been designed to provide a more secure experience to users. Here are five things that one should know about India’s very own operating system.

A new delivery method for mRNA therapies could open the doors to better treatments for aging, cancer, and more.

IISc and McGill University astronomers, using data from the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in Pune, have detected a radio signal originating from atomic hydrogen in a faraway galaxy. UnsplashAccording to IISc, the astronomical d…

Research led by the University of Southampton has revealed how supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are feeding off gas clouds which reach them by travelling hundreds of thousands of light years from one galaxy to another.

Signatures associated with COVID-19 disease severity are studied, primarily using machine learning models for classification on the basis of TCR repertoire analysis and combining such data/analysis with single cell transcriptomic data.
