In a newly published study, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute reexamine the unipolar induction mechanism for heating asteroids, detailing how biomolecules were once able…
In a newly published study, University of Rochester researchers show that better-constructed proteins are the key to the naked mole rat’s longevity and health. Naked…
Using a technique called partial covariance mapping, scientists gain new insight into the dynamics of “hollow atom” formation. In a detailed study of how intense…
Astronomers use quasars in a technique known as Delta-Differential One-Way Ranging to help achieve precise navigation of spacecraft in deep-space. Deep-space missions require precise navigation,…
Using data from the National Science Foundation’s South Pole Telescope and ESA’s Herschel Space Observatory, astronomers have made the first detection of a subtle twist…
Stanford scientists are developing a mini-microscope to noninvasively detect circulating tumor cells, allowing for earlier interventions. One of the cruelest truths about cancer is that…
UCLA scientists have developed a new synthetic glycolytic pathway that converts all six glucose carbon atoms into three molecules of acetyl-CoA without losing any as…
Astronomers used data from NASA’s Spitzer and Kepler space telescopes to produce a very low-resolution ‘map’ of the exoplanet Kepler-7b. Scientists using data from NASA’s…
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has detected propylene on Titan for the first time, solving a long-standing mystery about the solar system’s most Earthlike moon. Credit: NASA’s…
Researchers from the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have used nanofabricated chips of fused silica to accelerate electrons at a rate 10 times…
In a newly published study, scientists present a new hypothesis on the nature of black holes, challenging the current “clean” black hole model. A black…
A team of researchers has developed a new method to speed up the stabilization of chaotic systems. When chaos threatens, speed is essential; for example,…
A new study demonstrates how to distinguish between cloudy mini-Neptunes and volatile-dominated super-Earths based on the differences in the wing steepness and relative depths of…
In two newly published studies, researchers show how mitochondria play a key role in the body’s ability to control weight gain. Becoming obese or remaining…
This four minute video shows climate model estimates on how global temperature and precipitation patterns will change throughout the 21st century given current rising greenhouse…
This newly released Hubble image shows galaxy cluster MACS J0152.5-2852. This image shows the massive galaxy cluster MACS J0152.5-2852, captured in detail by the NASA/ESA…
Analysis of the Martian soil samples taken by NASA’s Curiosity rover has revealed that water molecules are bound to fine-grained soil particles, accounting for about…
