Immune systems develop specific genes to combat common bacteria such as those found in food, new research shows.Previous theories have suggested that antimicrobial peptides – a kind of natural antibiotics – have a general role in killing a range of b

Aeolus' first-of-its-kind reentry is expected to occur Friday (July 28) over a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean.

An international research team, led by Professor Dorthe Dahl-Jensen of the University of Manitoba and University of Copenhagen, has reached a significant milest

Researchers have shown how lung cancer cells under stress can change the role of a protein to promote growth and metastasis of these cells.

Scientists have unraveled the step-by-step activation process of a protein with a deep evolutionary history in all domains of life, opening the door to harnessing its functions for use as a biotechnology tool.

How do planets get their names? With the exception of Earth, the planets in our solar system were named after Greek or Roman gods. Today, the job of naming t...

Elon Musk has been touting improvements at the Boca Chica Starbase site, but his private space company's operator license is still suspended.

Osaka [Japan], July 26 : Understanding and maximising the characteristics of proton-conducting materials depends greatly on how water molecules behave in these materials. To detect changes in the speed of the water, it is necessary to be able to look at extre…

Stability AI introduced innovations into the new Stable Diffusion model, SDXL 1.0, that make fine-tuning easier and improve composition.

R Sculptoris will eventually paint the sky with a planetary nebula, scattering elements that will form new star systems..

On May 16, 2023, NASA’s Juno spacecraft flew past Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io, and then the gas giant soon after. Io is the most volcanically active body in t...

Two supermoons in one month means more opportunities to gaze skyward.

Human-driven climate change is altering the world’s oceans, including their very color.

Earth is truly unique among our solar system's planets. It has vast water oceans and abundant life. But Earth is also unique because it is the only planet with plate tectonics, which shaped its geology, climate and possibly influenced the evolution of life.

Rather than being a perfect sphere, Earth, along with every other planet we know of, is described as an ellipsoid, while geoid refers to the planet's surface...

It's the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.

The European Space Agency plans to crash a retired satellite into the Atlantic Ocean on Friday

Astronomers have discovered an ancient star gatecrashing a gathering of hot, young stars -- something that scientists previously thought will not happen. This event could explain how our solar system got certain elements long ago. The interloper star was foun…

"We're not really ready to talk about a launch opportunity yet."

Fasting-activated hypothalamic AgRP-expressing neurons trigger fasting-induced hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activation through projections to the paraventricular hypothalamus, where they activate CRH neurons by presynaptically inhibiting the termi…

Heat-assisted detection and ranging is experimentally shown to see texture and depth through darkness as if it were day, and also perceives decluttered physical attributes beyond RGB or thermal vision.

University of Utah researchers say most of Utah's seismic activity comes in groups of much smaller shakes

The astronauts and space station were never in any danger, NASA emphasized.
