It's challenging to predict extreme thunderstorms—improving this will help reduce
Our ability to predict extreme weather from thunderstorms, like the recent catastrophic flash floods in Texas, is unsettlingly poor, even in the hours leading up to the event. Improvements in understanding, detecting and predicting extreme Read More
To our immune system, naked RNA is a sign of a viral or bacterial invasion and must be attacked. But our own cells also have RNA. To ward off trouble, our cells clothe their RNA Read More
The Great Barrier Reef has experienced its greatest annual loss of live coral across most of its expanse in four decades of record-keeping, Australian authorities say. Summary Australian authorities report the Great Barrier Reef suffered Read More
Wildfire smoke significantly raises ozone pollution, even in remote regions
Wildfires release vast amounts of visible pollutants into the atmosphere that darken skies and push people indoors to avoid unhealthy air. But a near-invisible threat to public health associated with wildfires is ozone, the reactive Read More
Summer’s most dazzling meteor shower, the Perseids, peaks soon. Summary The Perseid meteor shower, a highlight of the summer sky, is approaching its peak. Known for its bright and frequent meteors, the Perseids occur Read More
If Earthlings are ever going to colonize Mars, they won’t be able to do so on an empty stomach—and Temidayo Oniosun thinks a helping of Egusi soup, a Nigerian staple, might just hit Read More
Quantum technologies—'Standards currently offer a greater chance of success than
How can quantum technologies be developed responsibly? In the journal Science, researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the University of Cambridge, Harvard University and Stanford University argue that international standards should be established Read More
Nascent RNA profiling uncovers molecular drivers of cellular differentiation –
Researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, have documented their use of a new RNA sequencing technology to uncover molecular drivers of cellular differentiation that could Read More
Scientists build an 'evolution engine' to rapidly reprogram proteins –
In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or improved functions is crucial, but current methods are often slow and laborious. Now, Scripps Research scientists have developed a synthetic biology platform that Read More
