Scientists at MIT have developed new nanoparticles that simultaneously enable both MRI and fluorescent imaging in living animals, helping scientists to track specific molecules produced…
A team of researchers at Yale University has developed a therapeutic molecule that both targets the acidic microenvironments of tumors and penetrates cells to deliver…
This newly released image of Saturn’s uppermost cloud layers was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on August 23, 2014. Nature is an artist,…
This new six-minute animated video (below) details NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission, Asteroid Bennu, and the formation of our solar system. Born from the rubble of a…
This three-minute video shows how carbon dioxide in the atmosphere travels around the globe over a 12-month period. An ultra-high-resolution NASA computer model has given…
Using a novel high-pressure precursor process, scientists from the Carnegie Institution for Science have synthesized an entirely new form of silicon. Silicon is the second…
A newly published study provides the first direct evidence that an intergalactic “wind” is stripping galaxies of star-forming gas as they fall into clusters of…
New research from MIT reveals that engineered E. coli can store long-term memories of chemical exposure and other events in their DNA. MIT engineers have…
An international team of scientists has published an extensive report on the future of astrophysical neutrino measurements, discussing how facilities that measure the microwave background…
New research from Brown University and Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science shows that warmth and water flow on ancient Mars were probably episodic, related to…
This new Hubble Space Telescope image shows multiple star system XZ Tauri, HL Tauri, V1213 Tauri, and Herbig-Haro objects HH 150 and HH 30. The…
This newly released Hubble image shows barred spiral galaxy NGC 986, which is located about 56 million light-years away. This new Hubble image is a…
Using images NASA’s Voyager-2, astronomer Erich Karkoschka has uncovered features in Uranus’ atmosphere that reveal an unexpected, strange rotation pattern and point to the possible…
New data reveal the highest global mean sea surface temperatures ever recorded, indicating that the 14-year-long pause in ocean warming has come to an end….
New research reveals the first experimental evidence that our solar system’s protoplanetary disk was shaped by an intense magnetic field that drove a massive amount…
A new study from Yale University provides state-level estimates of obesity-attributable costs of absenteeism among working adults in the United States, finding that the total…
Astronomers investigate the process of rapid star formation in 12 massive galaxies that host high-velocity ionized gas outflows, finding that these fast outflows are most…
Using three NASA satellites, astronomers have revealed the first evidence that the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole (Sagittarius A*) may be producing neutrinos. The giant…
