Sediments at the bottom of the ocean can offer a window into the past, indicating environmental conditions not just from the sea but washed in from terrestrial runoff, as well as preserving the flora and fauna of the time. Scientists access this knowledge by …

These fields are generated by the combined electrical activity of neurons, orchestrating them into functional networks.

Radio telescope observations of Milky Way pulsars reveal spacetime distortions likely caused by enormous gravitational waves rolling through everything in existence You can't see or feel it, but everything around you — including your own body — is slowly shri…

Nature Biotechnology - Guidelines for public database submission of uncultivated virus genome sequences for taxonomic classification

NASA has awarded Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace task orders under existing contracts to advance spacewalking capabilities in low Earth orbit, as well as moonwalking services for Artemis missions.

Join us on Wednesday, July 12 at noon Pacific for the Software for Space Hack Chat with Jacob Killelea! In space, everything is harder. Hardware has to be built to withstand not only the harshest p…

The JUICE mission's ultraviolet spectrograph gathered data for the first time, revealing our galaxy's bright stars.

The rapid growth in the number of space objects is testing an international governance model many in the industry worry can no longer keep up. A fast-approaching UN summit is seen as a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to enhance cooperation" in space sustain…

One of the main ways cells "talk" to each other to coordinate essential biological activities such as muscle contraction, hormone release, neuronal firing, digestion and immune activation is through calcium signaling.

Transcription factor IIH, or TFIIH, pronounced "TF two H," is a veritable workhorse among the protein complexes that control human cell activity. It plays critical roles both in transcription—the highly regulated enzymatic synthesis of RNA from a DNA template…

Multi-omics on a long-term, continuous bioreactor experiment identifies microbes able to respire nitric oxide, a toxic, ozone-depleting, greenhouse gas precursor.

Organosulfur(VI) fluoride compounds display excellent chemical stability, and yet can efficiently realize diverse linkages via the activation of specific conditions. Based on its unique nature, Sharpless, Dong and coworkers introduced SuFEx as a new generatio…

It's the third time in recent memory that a bold prediction of Einstein has been proven correct, this one related to space-time.

There's a huge area under the ocean which has confounded experts for some time. This region has unusually low gravitational pull, causing the seafloor to sink.

Using NASA's Swift spacecraft, an international team of astronomers has carried out a long-term multiwavelength monitoring of a nearby active galaxy known as Markarian 817. Results of the observational campaign, published June 30 on the preprint server arXiv,…

Chinese scientists have recently introduced a new method to reveal the nature of the first galaxies and dark matter in the early universe, according to a paper published in the journal Nature Astronomy.The 21-cm absorption lines (21-cm forest) are a

What scientists call the "nuclear weak distribution" describes the distribution of "active" protons in a nucleus. These are protons that are eligible to transition into neutrons through what scientists call the "weak interaction."

A recent and unexpected discovery at Penn Dixie has provided new insight into the evolutionary history of an unusual group of fossils.

Researchers have achieved a major milestone in quantum computing by extending the lifetime of quantum information beyond the breakeven point using Quantum Error Correction, opening the path for effective quantum information processing amidst real-world noise.…

A few weeks ago, a team of scientists from Caltech announced that they had successfully transmitted energy from an orbiting satellite down to Earth. It wasn't a lot of energy, but it showed that it was possible.

Phase change memory is a type of nonvolatile memory that harnesses a phase change material's (PCM) ability to shift from an amorphous state, i.e., where atoms are disorganized, to a crystalline state, i.e., where atoms are tightly packed close together. This …

In this application note, PCR Biosystems presents air-dryable qPCR and RT-qPCR reagents as a cost-effective solution for assay development and diagnostics. These reagents enable fast drying in a standard laboratory oven, allowing organizations to create high-…
