As the Perseverance rover traversed an ancient river valley in Mars’ Jezero Crater back in July 2024, it drilled into the surface and extracted a sample from a unique, striped rock called Cheyava Falls. The rover’Read More
Spotting stealth multiplets for better single-cell experiment design – New
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has revolutionized modern biology, allowing scientists to study the expression of genes from thousands of individual cells at the same time. This technique helps researchers identify different cell populations, study cellular Read More
Neutrinos are one of the most enigmatic particles in the standard model. The main reason is that they’re so hard to detect. Despite the fact that 400 trillion of them created in the sun are Read More
Ultrafast infrared light pulses trigger rapid 'breathing' in thin film
Cornell Engineering researchers have demonstrated that, by zapping a synthetic thin film with ultrafast pulses of low-frequency infrared light, they can cause its lattice to atomically expand and contract billions of times per second—strain-driven “Read More
'Publish or perish' evolutionary pressures shape scientific publishing, for better
While developing his theory of natural selection, Charles Darwin was horrified by a group of wasps that lay their eggs within the bodies of caterpillars, with the larvae eating their hosts alive from the inside-out. Read More
Airbus, Leonardo and Thales reported moving towards European space firm
European aerospace firms Airbus, Leonardo and Thales could seal an accord this year to set up a joint satellite enterprise, a senior Airbus official told Corriere della Sera daily in an interview published Sunday. Summary Read More
Research as reconciliation: Oil sands and health – New Study/Science
Canada’s government and health science sectors should commit to researching the health effects of oil sands tailings, as previous research suggests that air, water, and land contaminations negatively affect local people’s health, authors Read More
School meals could drive economic growth and food system transformation
School meals, provided for free by governments around the world, could be used to curb global hunger and promote a sustainable global food system, finds a new study by UCL (University College London) researchers. Summary Read More
Oldest known lizard ancestor discovered in England – New Study/Science
Scientists announced Wednesday they have discovered the oldest-known member of the lizard family in southwest England, a tiny creature that used its surprisingly large teeth to hunt cockroaches 242 million years ago. Summary A newly discovered Read More
