Compared to every other living organism, an immortal one might not be alive in the same sense. But there are still deeper problems with the tech titans’ quest for immortality. If we ...
What if a map of the brain could help us decode people’s inner thoughts? The atlas identifies brain areas that respond to words that have similar meanings. The participants’ brain im...
A new research facility at Colorado State University – the only one of its kind in the world – will be established with a $9 million grant from NASA to help reveal the effects of lon...

Organizing ‘this cacophony of genes’ We’ve known that the human body has almost 30,000 genes that must be controlled by thousands of transcription factors that bind to those genes, ...
When the CO 2 concentration in the air increases, the size of the stomatal opening reduces to regulate the amount of carbon acquired which minimises the water lost. As a result the s...
Illegal logging has eviscerated Cambodia’s forests - destroying around a third of the total in the country in the past 30 years Cambodia’s prime minister has ordered a million hecta...
BOULDER – A reduction in the amount of oxygen dissolved in the oceans due to climate change is already discernible in some parts of the world and should be evident across large regio...
The cancer drugs aren’t as effective as patients need. Now we can say to a fellow scientist, ‘tell us the gene you’re interested in or any spot on the genome, and we’ll tell you how ...
The fragments will be returned to Earth in 2020. Credit: ESA Telecommands from mission controllers at the Japan Aerospace and Exploration Agency (JAXA) will be fed to the station vi...
The attraction between the electron and hole creates a new quantum state with a very strong light-matter interaction and a corresponding quick release of light. New research results ...
However, the immune system is not always able to eliminate cancer cells when they form. This study is the first CAR T-cell trial to infuse patients with an even mixture of two types ...
Model of a classical Turing network compared to the extended Turing networks analyzed with the software RDNets. The software can be used to analyze how patterns form during developme...
These areas mean that somewhere in the upper cloud layer there is a substance that is absorbing UV radiation. In the new paper, Krasnopolsky presents the first photochemical model of...
Therefore, cells must maintain an intricate regulatory network to ensure that their DNA remains intact. It can sense the presence of DNA damage, signal to other proteins that damage ...
The origin of these complex cell types has long been a mystery to the scientific community, but now researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden have discovered a new group of micro...

When fluctuating climates in the Ice Age altered habitats, modern humans may have adapted their diets in a different way than Neandertals, according to a study published April 27, 20...
On April 30, 2015, the MESSENGER spacecraft sent its final image. Mission controllers were able to confirm the end of operations just a few minutes later at 3:40 p.m., when no signal...
The 18 mirrors that make up the primary mirror were individually protected with a black covers when they were assembled on the telescope structure. Currently, engineers are busy asse...
