Zayner claims this was the second time he has genetically changed himself. Utilizing CRISPR, a fairly new gene-editing method,...
"This Is An 'Edison Moment' In Sensing That Will Improve Society." Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Gravitational A significant breakthrough in quantum sensing technology is being explained as an "Edison moment" that could, scientists expect, have embracing implications. New research in Nature explains one of the first practical applications of quantum sensing, a largely theoretical technology that weds quantum...
MIT astronomers have discovered a new multiplanet system that exists just 10 parsecs, or approximately 33 light-years, from Earth, making it one of the closest known multiplanet systems to our own. The star at the system's heart likely hosts at least two terrestrial, Earth-sized planets. Credit: MIT News, with TESS Satellite figure courtesy of...

Flame nanoparticle deposition was utilized to make robust nano-sensors that can spot pesticide residues on apple surfaces within minutes. Credit: Georgios A Sotiriou and Haipeng Li. Researchers in Sweden at Karolinska Institutet have developed a tiny sensor for spotting fruit pesticides in just a few minutes. The method, referred as a proof-of-concept in a paper...
But do not be too thrilled-- the researchers say it might easily just be a misidentified transmission from us humans. Credit: NASA. A group of Chinese and American researchers put their reputation on the line with a bold claim: that, with many caveats, a recently identified narrowband signal could indicate intelligent extraterrestrial life. The uncommon signal-- captured...
More than 300 people in 21 nations outside Africa have been infected with the illness. Monkeypox (orange), shown infecting monkey cells (green) in this colorized electron micrograph, has spread to multiple countries outside Africa. The large outbreak is unusual for the virus, which is transmitted by close contact. NIAID/FLICKR (CC BY 2.0) An outbreak of monkeypox...
According to a study conducted by Cedars-Sinai Cancer investigators, targeting a particular protein usually overexpressed in prostate cancer can assist stop or retard the disease from spreading to other body parts. The study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications, opens the possibility of using available commercial medications, including one approved by the Fda for...

Nuclear fusion. Credit: The Conversation. The reinforcement learning algorithm, which controls the scorching plasma within a tokamak nuclear fusion reactor, was developed by an AI company backed by Google. The interior of a tokamak– the doughnut-shaped vessel created to include a nuclear fusion reaction– presents a unique type of chaos. Hydrogen atoms are shattered together at...
