Earth's biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent "sixth mass extinction" threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity—or variation—within species.
A new artificial intelligence model can improve the process of drug and vaccine discovery by predicting how efficiently specific mRNA sequences will produce proteins, both generally and in various cell types.
A research team in Korea has experimentally demonstrated, for the first time in the world, a nonlinear wave phenomenon that changes its frequency—either rising or falling—depending on which direction the waves come from.
Just a short distance inland from the waves crashing against California's shore, NASA's Relativistic Electron Atmospheric Loss (REAL) CubeSat mission launched into the sky, taking off at 2:13 p.m. ET on July 23 from Vandenberg ...
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has completed the "major item of equipment" phase for the Lunar Surface Electromagnetics Experiment-Night (LuSEE-Night), a moon-based radio telescope set ...
Floating about 500 feet offshore of Illinois Beach State Park, Hillary Glandon tightened her scuba goggles, grabbed a small masonite plate from a nearby kayak and dove beneath the Lake Michigan surface.
Loretta Mickley first started thinking about smoke in the summer of 2002.
The Dead Sea is a confluence of extraordinary conditions: the lowest point on Earth's land surface, with one of the world's highest salinities. The high concentration of salt gives it a correspondingly high density, and the ...
A rather unassuming particle is playing an important role in the hunt for subatomic oddities. Similar to protons and neutrons, mesons are composed of quarks bound together by the strong nuclear force. But these short-lived ...
In the race to develop faster and more flexible wireless communication technologies, researchers are turning to an unexpected source: the same organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) found in smartphone screens and TVs.
