Scientists Detail the Origin of Molecular Oxygen in Comet 67P
Scientists have found that molecular oxygen around comet 67P is not produced on its surface, as some suggested, but maybe from its body. The European…

The discovery changes our understanding of the basic mechanism of photosynthesis and should rewrite the textbooks. It will also tailor the way we hunt for…
The breakthrough means masers — the microwave version of lasers — could now be used more widely in a range of applications. Masers (microwave amplification…
In laser facilities in the UK, Imperial physicists are testing an 84-year-old theory which was once thought impossible to prove. The theory of the Breit-Wheeler…
Ancient microbes may have been producing oxygen through photosynthesis a billion years earlier than we thought, which means oxygen was available for living organisms very…
Scientists at Imperial College London have become the first in the world to test how pathogens interact with artificial human organs. Artificial human organs, or…
The enzyme complex ATP synthase is one of the most important molecular machines in the cell. It produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serves as the…
The presence of, or changes in the concentration of, certain proteins in biological fluids can be indicators of disease. However, in the early stages of…
Scientists from the Imperial College London have used data, rather than calculations related to general relativity, to measure large distances in the Universe for the…
A newly published study details how the spacetime curvature provided the stability needed for the universe to survive after the Big Bang. Studies of the…
Researchers used Escherichia coli to interrupt the biological process that turns fatty acids into cell membranes, channeling the fatty acids along a different biological pathway…
Researchers at Imperial College London have designed a new self-assembling nanoparticle that targets tumors, helping doctors diagnose cancer earlier. The new nanoparticle, developed by researchers…
Scientists from Imperial College London have discovered how to create matter directly from light using the technology that we have today. Imperial physicists have discovered…
Scientists have developed a new method for analyzing the pressure experienced by tiny samples of organic material that may have been ejected from dying stars,…
By combining data from the Planck and Herschel satellites, astronomers have discovered four galaxy clusters some 10 billion light-years from Earth. An international team of…
Newly published research shows that an ancient lake on Mars had fresh water and contained key biological elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and…
Scientists at the Imperial College London have shown that the efficiency of solar panel designs can be improved by up to 22 percent by covering…
A newly published study shows that the basic building blocks of life as we know it can be assembled anywhere in the Solar System, confirming…
