Too Many Disk Galaxies Than Theory Allows

The Standard Model of Cosmology defines how the universe came into being according to the perspective of most physicists. Researchers at the University of Bonn have actually currently studied the evolution of galaxies within this model, finding considerable inconsistencies with real observations. The University of St. Andrews in Scotland and Charles University in the...

How Mars Lost its Oceans

Planet Mars illustration. Credit: NASAIt has long been recognized that Mars once had oceans due, in part, to a protective magnetic field similar to Earth's. Nevertheless, the electromagnetic field disappeared, and a new research study may lastly be able to explain why.Scientists recreated conditions anticipated in the core of Mars billions of years...

Giant Sponge Gardens Discovered on Seamounts in the Arctic Deep Sea

The dense sponge grounds discovered on the northerly Langseth Ridge seamount structure represent an astonishingly rich ecosystem, demonstrating the ability of sponges and associated microorganisms to exploit a variety of refractory food sources including fossil seep detritus.

First Detection of Exotic ‘X’ Particles in Quark-Gluon Plasma

Physicists have found evidence of rare X particles in the quark-gluon plasma produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The findings could redefine the kinds of particles that were abundant in the early universe. Credit: CERNIn the initial millionths of a second after the Big Bang, our universe was an agitated pull...

Global Elimination of Animal Farming Could Save the Planet

The elimination of all animal agriculture in the following 15 years would severely diminish greenhouse gas emissions and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Research into the climatological impacts of raising animals for food implicates that eliminating all animal agriculture has the potentially to considerably change the direction of global warming.The project is a cooperation...

Researchers Discover New Insights About Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

Scientists have found new insights about lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease, which affects approximately 1 in 200,00 Americans and typically includes the growth of abnormal cells in different tissues and organs, including the lungs.Lymphangioleiomyomatosis researchAs scientists studied LAM cells in the lab, they found a "mixed phenotype," or distinctions in physical expression in...

Genome Study Finds Unexpected Variation in a Fundamental RNA Gene

A genome study carried out by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists to search for variants in a gene thought about an essential building block for microscopic structures that manufacture proteins took a shocking twist.Human ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes are essential for constructing ribosomes or mechanisms that translate proteins. The study findings, to be...

Finding Structure in the Brain’s Static

Much of the electrical activity in the brain looks like noise and is not associated with reactions to any particular stimuli. The scientists found that there was structure in the noise that could reveal the state of attentiveness in the brain. In this model of brain activity in the monkey visual cortex, the overall...

Technique Smooths Course For AI Training in Wireless Devices

Federated learningFederated learning is a great tool for training artificial intelligence (AI) systems while shielding data privacy, however the quantity of data traffic entailed has made it unwieldy for systems that utilize wireless devices. A new technique uses compression to substantially lower the size of data transmissions, creating additional possibilities for AI training on...
