As the world warms, giant sheets of ice near the poles have been melting off. Previously...
Researchers observed bright flares of X-ray emissions. Image credit: Dan Wilkins Researchers at Stanford University have actually located a strange pattern while seeing the X-rays from the supermassive black hole at the centre of a galaxy 800 million light-yrs away. The black hole, it seems, is spewing out these rays into the universe around it. Dan...
Illustration by The Project Twins When Yanina Bellini Saibene has started her career in information science at the National Institute of Agricultural Innovation in La Pampa, Argentina, she was not fluent in English. She had learned a little English at secondary school. However, her family could not afford the added courses she would have required...

Your ancestors from centuries back may have had genetic diseases that could affect you today-- particularly if you have Ashkenazi Jewish roots. A new study carried out by international scientists suggested that a team of Ashkenazi Jews-- victims of...
“Cosmic Cliffs” in the Carina Nebula Astronomers' beliefs are The famed James Webb Space Telescope, released 8 months back and orbiting the sun a million miles from Earth, has begun bringing up several questions for astronomers as its striking images flood in. Unsurprisingly, the telescope has offered some intriguing and exciting observations of the very distant universe....
Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new kind of "phase change" in water was first recommended 30 years ago in a research study by scientists from Boston University. Because the shift has been predicted to happen at supercooled problems, however, confirming its presence has been challenging. That is because, at these low temperatures, water really does...
The Waveline Magnet prototype is made up of numerous floating platforms connected to one another to resemble a floating spine. The flexible and modular system is made to allow the energy generator to smoothly follow the motion of the waves. Credit: SWEL/ YouTube via Screenshot. Nevertheless, a firm from Cyprus has created a unique floating...
The L3 HAPLS at ELI Beamlines Research Center in the Czech Republic. Credit: ELI Beamlines Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have developed a compact multi-petawatt laser that uses plasma transmission gratings to overcome the power restrictions of traditional solid-state optical gratings. The design might allow the construction of an ultrafast laser up to 1,000...
Daran-Lapujade’s lab took human DNA (in red) encoding core functions in muscle cells, and inserted it into the DNA (chromosomes in purple) of a yeast cell (in yellow). The humanized yeast can be used as a tool for medical studies, for example in drug screening and cancer research. Credit: Ella Maru Studio / Pascale...
Concept of the wing sails installed on a bulk carrier. Credit: SGS A new initiative is underway with support from the Scottish Government and industry leaders like Lloyd's Register to study and develop modern wing sail technology able to be retrofitted to in-service merchant ships. The three-year project aims to demonstrate on a commercial ship...
