Phase 2 trials have shown that the anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody drug Teplizumab significantly reduces the loss of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells for subjects newly diagnosed…
A team of researchers has identified a new type of cell in the brain that helps people keep track of their relative location while navigating…
Subaru Telescope’s Hyper Suprime-Cam displays its abilities with an impressive image of M31. A stunning image of M31 captured by Subaru Telescope’s Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC)…
NASA’s MESSENGER spacecraft captures a color image of the Hovnatanian crater, an elliptical crater on Mercury. This color image, taken on May 1, 2013 by…
Astronomers in the SEEDS Project have discovered the least massive planet ever detected around a star like the sun. A so-called “second Jupiter,” planet GJ…
According to scientists at Stanford University, climate change is on pace to occur 10 times faster than any change recorded in the past 65 million…
New research from the Brookhaven National Laboratory has revealed that magnetic excitations, quantum waves believed by many to regulate high-temperature superconductors, exist in both non-superconducting…
Using a glass honeycomb-like structure coated with a Teflon-like chemical, a team of researchers has created a “superglass” that could lead to self-cleaning, scratch-resistant windows,…
A newly published study from Princeton University and UC Berkeley reveals that slight increases in temperature and precipitation result in increased human conflict. Should climate…
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope revealed a new type of stellar explosion called a kilonova. Kilonovas are about 1,000 times brighter than a nova, but they…
While studying subdwarf stars, a team of astronomers discovered two unusual stars with extremely high concentrations of lead in their atmospheres. They estimate that the…
This newly released Hubble image shows spiral galaxy NGC 4517, which is located approximately 40 million light-years away in the constellation of Virgo. Another treasure…
Using data from Spitzer and WISE, scientists reveal in a new study that massive galaxies appear to slow their growth over time, feeding less and…
In a newly published study, engineers from Monash University detail a new strategy to engineer graphene-based supercapacitors, making them viable for widespread use in renewable…
Scientists have discovered a graveyard of comets where some of the dormant objects, inactive for millions of years, have returned to life from an increase…
Engineers from the University of Colorado Boulder have devised a solar-thermal system that can be used to split water in order to produce clean hydrogen…
A study from scientists at Lund University found that exercise induces genome-wide changes in DNA methylation in human adipose tissue, potentially affecting adipocyte metabolism. Exercise,…
Data from Hubble’s COSMOS survey helps solve the mystery of “quenched” galaxies, finding that larger galaxies were “switching off” at later times and adding their…
