According to recent research, irregularities in the cooling process of molten iron in the Earth's core are responsible for variations in the planet's magnetic field. The swirling molten iron in the Earth's core controls the magnetic field /Credit: preparaenem.com Why do satellite operations and compass readings experience interference that results in inaccurate directions not aligned with...
A panel of experts thinks that Nasa should send a spacecraft to Uranus Credito: NASA Kathleen Mandt Kathleen Mandt, a planetary scientist at Johns Hopkins College's Applied Physics Research laboratory. In her Perspectives piece published in the journal Science, Kathleen Mandt highlights the scientific value of a dedicated Uranus probe. Uranus, one of the...
Credit: Techlicious In numerous kitchens, refrigerators literally stick out like a sore thumb, protruding nearly a foot beyond the edge of your counter. Not only is this fridge bulge unappealing, but it reduces your kitchen's floor space. LG has fixed this bulging colder issue without compromising capacity with its industry-leading Counter Depth MAX line of...
Atherogenesis is depicted in a young (a) or aged (b) host. Aged monocytes/macrophages have decreased levels of the epigenetic regulator TET2, leading to reduction of the 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) mark on the Itgb3 promoter. The resulting low integrin β3 levels in aged monocytes/macrophages induces high TNFα levels, facilitating recruitment and expansion of multiple SMC progenitors...

Credit: CC0 Public Domain A team of scientists from the University of Cambridge, along with researchers from the United States, Israel, and Austria, have developed a theory that could generate high-energy "quantum light" to study new properties of matter at the atomic level. They have reported their findings in the journal Nature Physics. While classic...
Earth's inner core. Credit: Rost-9D/iStock The rotation of the Earth's solid inner core may have recently stopped briefly as well as could be reversing, according to a study released in Nature Geoscience this week. The authors show proof that oscillation in the rotation of the internal core coincides with periodic changes in the Earth's surface...
Credit: Unsplash Mammals that live in teams might typically live longer than members of solitary species, recommends a Nature Communications paper. The findings are based upon an analysis of nearly 1,000 mammals-- including the gold snub-nosed monkey, naked mole-rat, bowhead whale, and horseshoe bat-- and might improve our understanding of the development of social organization...
The characteristics of lunar tidal wave in the plasmapause. Credit: Nature Physics (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41567-022-01882-8 A worldwide team of space scientists reports that the moon exerts a tidal effect on the plasmasphere. For their paper released in the journal Nature Physics, the group used information from multiple spacecraft over an almost 40-year period to gauge tidal perturbations...
Steppe bison cranium from Level 3. Credit: Nature Human Behaviour (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41562-022-01503-7 A team of researchers has made an interesting discovery in a Neanderthal cave in southwestern France. They have found several large animal skulls, including those of a bear, a lion, and a hyena, all of which are much larger than the animals typically hunted...
