EU researchers are developing powerful new telescopes to help uncover Earth-like planets around distant stars and advance the search for extraterrestrial life.
A team of scientists from the University of Chicago, the University of California Berkeley, Argonne National Laboratory, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has developed molecular qubits that bridge the gap between ...
For the first time, scientists can view RNA molecules directly inside cells and tissue in minute detail and across the entire human genome concurrently, thanks to new technology created by a Yale research team.
Corals, the foundation of ocean biodiversity, are threatened by climate change. But new research suggests that these organisms might be more resilient than previously thought.
The discovery of a large population of compact, red objects, now widely known as Little Red Dots (LRDs) is one of the most exciting results by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to date. An international team of astronomers, ...
The plastics industry is in flux, as there is an increasing push to replace petroleum-based materials with sustainable alternatives. But sustainability alone is not enough. Bio-based plastics need to be capable of more.
With unprecedented clarity, scientists have directly observed a subduction zone—the collision point where one tectonic plate dives beneath another—actively breaking apart. The discovery, reported in Science Advances, ...
In the 17th century, astronomers Christiaan Huygens and Giovanni Cassini trained their telescopes on Saturn and uncovered a startling truth: the planet's luminous bands were not solid appendages, but vast, separate rings ...
The amino acid glycine is an important neurotransmitter that regulates memory, reflex, and brain development, and it may also be a biomarker for bacterial virulence. Of the 20 standard amino acids, the building blocks of ...
What do magnets, smartphones and medical imaging devices have in common? They all depend on rare earth elements called lanthanides, which are vital for modern technology. Yet, separating these chemically similar elements ...
