NASA will host a media teleconference at 10 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, July 18, to discuss the next science investigations bound for the International Space Station aboard Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus spacecraft on the company’s 19th commercial resupply missi
That experiences leave their trace in the connectivity of the brain has been known for a while, but a pioneering study now shows how massive these effects really are. The findings in mice provide unprecedented insights into the complexity of large-scale neura…
The James Webb Space Telescope has glimpsed the dark side of the usually ethereal Pillars of Creation, located 6,500 light-years away in the Eagle Nebula.
Genome-wide screen in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans reveals potential targets to delay motor aging, including the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase VPS-34; genetic and pharmacological partial inhibition of VPS-34 improves neurotransmission and muscle integr…
When you bite into a juicy steak, tough isn’t what you’re looking for. There’s a lot of science behind the spectrum from tough to tender. Chaoyu Zhai, assistant professor of animal science in the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources, recently …
The World Health Organization lists bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics as one of the top 10 global health threats. Therefore, researchers are looking for new antibiotics to counter this resistance. Adéla Melcrová, biophysicist at the University of Gro…
China plans to send two rockets to the moon by 2030, one carrying the spacecraft that will land on the surface and the other transporting the astronauts.
Compared to artificial tears, or eye drops, human tears are significantly more complex liquids, with a wide range of components including lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, water, and salt.
How do our brains develop the ability to form particular memories? A pioneering preclinical study conducted by a research group at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) might have discovered a molecular cause behind memory changes during early childhood. …
NASA's Webb telescope has detected the oldest supermassive black hole yet, which sits in a galaxy that formed just 570 million years after the Big Bang that occurred 13.8 million years ago.
For safety reasons, mission engineers will attempt an unprecedented assisted reentry with the European spacecraft, which wasn't designed for controlled descent.
The European Southern Observatory continues to build the largest telescope in the world, the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Construction of the telescope began in 2014 with flattening the top of a mountain named Cerro Armazones in Chile’s Atacama Desert. ES…
The recent launch of VA261 closes out the Ariane 5 rocket’s 117 launches. Take a look back at Europe’s workhorse launcher and the next generation in Ariane 6.
Investigators from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory revealed that when the compound tin selenide heats up, atomic-level structural changes occur, allowing it to conduct electricity but not heat.
Several SpaceX Starlink satellites are leaking low-freaking radio waves, according to scientists from several international institutes. They used the LOFAR telescope.
When the Antikythera Mechanism was first discovered, it wasn’t viewed as the wonder that we know it today. Originally the divers who found the device and the first scientists to look at it wr…
