Dark Matter Filament in Galaxy Supercluster Directly Measured
A filament of dark matter, which works like the Universe’s backbone, and dictates where galaxies can form, was observed for the first time by astronomers…

A new study from biological engineers at MIT looks at how cells alter their chemical modification of molecules, known as transfer RNA (tRNA), to survive…
A newly published study from scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg and Aarhus University in Denmark shows that new fungi,…
Scientists estimated that several large impact events on Mars could have launched significant amounts of Martian material into space, leading them to believe that if…
A new paper from David Mazziotti, a professor in chemistry at the University of Chicago, solves what specialists call the “N-representability problem,” how to compute…
While some mass media outlets are dismissing the obvious global climate change, nature isn’t. The hopbush (Dodonaea viscosa), the subspecies angustissima in South Australia, has…
A newly published study describes how a group of Harvard scientists were able to create quantum bits and store information in them for nearly two…
Located about 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Orion, protostar V1647 Ori gave astronomers the first direct evidence that a protostar surges in X-ray activity…
A particularly well-preserved bushy-tailed fossilized theropod could imply that most of the dinosaurs actually had feathers. The dinosaur, named Sciurumimus albersdoerferi lived 150 million years…
To much fanfare and a packed press room, CERN physicists announced in the early morning of July 4th the discovery of a new particle that…
A new image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows Herbig-Haro 110, a geyser of hot gas flowing from a newborn star. Although Herbig–Haro (HH) objects…
After exciting small, light-sensitive hydrocarbon molecules with light from an ultraviolet laser, Scientists at SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source then made quadrillionths-of-a-second snapshots of the…
A team of scientists at the Berkeley Lab has discovered the mechanism behind the RNA-guided cleavage of double-stranded DNA that is central to the bacterial…
Using data from NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer’s four infrared bands, scientists have released a new image showing a vast cloud of gas and dust…
Harvard neurologists have identified for the first time a molecular component for the cerebellum’s role in autism, finding that the loss of the TSC1 gene…
A step beyond transparent display, soap bubble displays are actually something possible. Ultrasonic vibrations shot through the soap bubble display alter the images’ texture. More…
Set to launch in 2014, NASA is planning the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission to study X-points or electron diffusion regions, places where the magnetic field of…
Scientists are working on a directional dark matter detector that will use strands of DNA and gold in order to detect the elusive non-baryonic matter….
