Crafting string figures — a tradition found across the globe — might reveal a shared cultural heritage that spans thousands of years. New research combines ancient creativity with modern mathematical…
Researchers discovered that the mRNA modification m6A triggers rapid degradation, regulating protein production. This breakthrough could inform drug development to manage protein-related diseases. Messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNA) are like the…
The Orion capsule concluded its 25-day Artemis I mission in 2022 with a landing in the Pacific, revealing significant heat shield damage. NASA is now focused on enhancing heat shield…
Researchers at Flinders University have developed a low-cost, high-density polymer that can store data efficiently using nanoscale indents and can be erased and reused multiple times. This innovative material, made…
Researchers at CRCHUM found that targeting the enzyme ABHD6 in specific brain regions of mice reduces obesity without causing anxiety or depression. This discovery may lead to novel therapies for…
Expedition 72 crew members aboard the International Space Station (ISS) wrapped up their week with key science hardware installations. Meanwhile, the cosmonauts enjoyed a well-deserved late start on Friday, recovering…
New simulation methods reveal insights into the Earth’s core and promise advances in neuromorphic computing for artificial intelligence. How Does Earth Generate Its Magnetic Field? While scientists understand the basic…
The discovery indicates a greater diversity in the fossil record of flowering plants than was previously acknowledged. In 1969, fossilized leaves of Othniophyton elongatum—a name meaning “alien plant”—were discovered in…
New light-based studies of Bi2212 superconductors reveal key insights into high-temperature superconductivity, advancing the quest for room-temperature applications. Copper-oxide (CuO2) superconductors, including Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi2212), are notable for their unusually high…
