In the coastal waters of the Okinawa Islands, researchers have discovered two species of cephalopods, named in honor of traditional Japanese folklore. The underwater landscapes…
Scientists have found that extracellular calcium mediates the activation of a membrane protein that waves the flag signaling cell death. A research team co-led by…
This surprising result is important for understanding unconventional superconductors and other materials where electrons band together to act collectively. Long before researchers discovered the electron…
Scientists have found that even seemingly stable glaciers in the Antarctic can “switch very rapidly” and lose large quantities of ice as a result of…
Low fasting blood sugar is associated with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), a leading cause of mortality. Recent findings presented at the European Association for the…
Scientists use electrolyte methylation to improve flexible sodium-ion batteries. Flexible aqueous batteries, commonly used in portable electronics, typically include a hydrogel electrolyte composed of water…
NASA’s third RS-25 engine test on November 29 was a key part of a 12-test series for certifying the engines used in the SLS rocket…
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a high-speed jet stream in Jupiter’s atmosphere, moving at 320 miles per hour and situated 15 to 30…
Scientists investigate the possible chemical pathways by which pentoses could have formed on early Earth. Pentoses are essential carbohydrates in the metabolism of modern lifeforms,…
An international team of climate scientists has recently published a paper warning that the Earth’s vital signs have deteriorated to levels unprecedented in human history,…
Researchers have unearthed the oldest fossil mosquitoes in Lebanese amber, showing that ancient male mosquitoes were likely blood-feeders. This finding from the Lower Cretaceous period…
Mainz University and the US-American BENFRA Center have jointly demonstrated the effect of botanical products used in traditional Asiatic medicine on depressive states. Chronic exposure…
The satellites are part of the agency’s SunRISE mission, which will study the physics behind explosions that the Sun generates. Most NASA missions feature one…
New research, recently published in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, suggests that individuals with higher lifelong estrogen exposure might be…
Researchers have mapped the family tree of crocodiles and their extinct relatives to shed new light on why there are so few species of the…
In November this year, the northern lights were seen unusually far south, in locations like Italy and Texas. This was due to the effects of…
Researchers using the new FLSHclust algorithm discovered 188 unique CRISPR-linked gene modules, including a novel type VII CRISPR-Cas system, in a massive protein database. This…
