Nuclear fusion underpins some of the most basic processes in our universe and holds the promise of virtually limitless, clean, carbon-free energy. Dr. Anne W...

An international team led by astronomers from the Curtin University node of the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) has discovered a new type of stellar object that challenges our understanding of the physics of neutron stars.

A high-throughput method can assess the folding stability of small domains from both natural and computationally designed proteins, revealing trends in protein evolution and opening up possibilities for machine learning.

A single-cell genomics analysis of humans, chimpanzees and rhesus macaques reveals the molecular features that drive cellular and regulatory complexity of human brain evolution.

Dynamics of protein droplets revealed by bridging multiple scales.

Protein complexes containing RNA polymerase II and immature RNA are associated with active genes immediately after replication, suggesting that transmission of active transcriptional states to daughter cells may not require any additional epigenetic book…

Two highly charged disordered human proteins phase-separate into viscous complex coacervates while retaining their rapid conformational dynamics through pico- to nanosecond exchange of short-lived side-chain interactions.

p53 is shown to have a pivotal role in the differentiation of alveolar type 1 cells in cancer and alveolar repair after injury, and loss of this governance can promote diseases such as lung adenocarcinoma.

During an experiment designed to test how metals perform under stress, researchers noticed something unexpected – fatigue cracks in a metal sample starting to heal themselves. This finding has important consequences for future self-healing materials.

During routine navigation in daily life, our brains use spatial mapping and memory to guide us from point A to point B. Just as routine is making a mistake in navigation that requires a course correction.

Large-scale assays using cDNA display proteolysis are used to measure the folding stabilities of protein domains, providing a method to quantify the effects of mutations on protein folding, with applications in protein design.

The first observation of neutrinos produced at a particle collider opens a new field of study and offers ways to test the limits of the standard model.

Merger of two stellar remnants could explain a peculiar split between the star’s helium- and hydrogen-covered hemispheres

A breakthrough study by the University of Washington has shown that graphite, a 3D material, can be manipulated to possess properties of its 2D counterpart, graphene. This paves the way for the potential modification of other bulk materials to exhibit 2D-like…

Cosmic dust of the ancient past is beginning to appear to the ultrasensitive instruments aboard the James Webb Space Telescope.

In our modern era of larger, more destructive, and longer-lasting fires—called the Pyrocene—plants and animals are evolving quickly to survive.

We kept these up for the kids, but it’s time to move on.

Roboticists designed an untethered bot that can detect obstacles in the subterranean when swimming through sand and can effectively engage in search and rescue missions

A team of scientists, led by the researcher at the IAC and the University of La Laguna (ULL) Sebastién Comerón, has found that the galaxy NGC 1277 does not contain dark matter. This is the first time that a massive galaxy (it has a mass several times that of …

What's going on with the hole in the ozone layer? Thanks to a global effort to regulate ozone-depleting substances, the ozone hole is showing signs of recove...

The China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) published a list of space seed projects aboard the Shenzhou-16 manned spaceship. Experts reviewed the projects and selected 136 kinds of space-breeding experimental materials from 53 institutions. Scientists say sending

The mysterious object will be analyzed to determine if it is indeed of extraterrestrial origins.

Teams of physicists worldwide have been trying to detect dark matter, an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light. Due to its lack of interactions with electromagnetic forces, this matter is very difficult to observe directly, thus …

NASA is going to hold a meeting at its Washington headquarters tomorrow which will focus on the extreme weather events we have been seeing in the recent months

A new result shows how much of the plane can be colored by points that are never exactly one unit apart.
