Everything we know about Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is the latest from the Borderlands Franchise. Before launch, here's what we know about the release date, pre-orders, and more......»»
Could the "central dogma" of biology be misleading bioengineers?
Today, medicines based on antibodies—proteins that fight infection and disease—are prescribed for everything from cancer to COVID-19 to high cholesterol. The antibody drugs are supplied by genetically-engineered cells that function as tiny protei.....»»
Northern sea otter pup rescued in Alaska finds new home at Shedd Aquarium
In late October 2023, a young sea otter pup was found in the remote coastal town of Seldovia, Alaska, stranded and calling out in distress with no mother in sight. After being rehabilitated, fed and healed, the tiny otter—barely over a month old—.....»»
The Milky Way will probably devour all the tiny galaxies that surround it
The rapid disruption of smaller galaxies suggests they lack a bit of dark matter. Enlarge / An infrared image of one of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies. (credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/STScI) We are not alone—at least as.....»»
Study shows precise control of colloids through magnetism is possible
Bayreuth researchers have found ways to control tiny particles in liquids using magnetic patterns. The research results have now been published in Nature Communications under the title "Simultaneous and independent topological control of identical mi.....»»
Hands-on with the Yolaness SAPY1600 Portable Power Station
The world of portable batteries and power stations is expansive. We have tiny power banks that can be put on your keychain, and then we have huge and robust battery banks that can power appliances and run an entire motor home. But the name of the gam.....»»
New model allows for learning and prediction of microbial interactions
A tiny but prolific world of microbes encompasses everything around us, both inside and out. Microbiomes, which are comprised of diverse communities of microbes, play a pivotal role in shaping human health, yet the intricacies of how different microb.....»»
Tiny worms are helping scientists better understand fertility
Studying sex from just the male perspective misses half the experience. But much of what we know about the origins of reproductive cells comes from looking at sperm and egg formation separately—or only focusing on sperm......»»
A tiny quadcopter could gather rocks for China"s sample return mission
Space exploration is always changing. Before February 2021 there had never been a human made craft flying around in the atmosphere of another world (other than rocket propelled landers arriving or departing). The Mars Perseverance rover changed that,.....»»
Fish brains may provide insight into the molecular basis of decision-making
How do animals make decisions when faced with competing demands, and how have decision making processes evolved over time? In a recent publication in Biology Letters, Tina Barbasch, a postdoctoral researcher at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic.....»»
Giant sea salt aerosols found to play major role in Hawai"i"s coastal clouds, rain
Despite their tiny sizes, aerosols, such as sea salt, dust, and ash, play a giant role in shaping weather and climate. These particles scatter light, act as the starting point for cloud formation, and can even initiate or limit rainfall. A new study.....»»
This tiny spinal stimulator could someday have a big impact on paralysis
A Johns Hopkins materials scientist and a team of collaborators have developed a tiny device that may hold promise for restoring mobility to those with lower limb paralysis, a condition affecting approximately 1.4 million Americans......»»
Tiny beads preserve enzymes for biocatalysis
Plasmas can provide the co-substrate needed for biocatalysis of valuable substances, but they are also harmful to enzymes. By attaching enzymes to small beads, the enzymes are protected and remain active up to 44 times longer......»»
New computer code for mechanics of tissues and cells in three dimensions
Biological materials are made of individual components, including tiny motors that convert fuel into motion. This creates patterns of movement, and the material shapes itself with coherent flows by constant consumption of energy. Such continuously dr.....»»
Using tiny traps to study protein interactions can provide new knowledge about difficult-to-treat diseases
Proteins that form clumps occur in many difficult-to-treat diseases, such as ALS, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. The mechanisms behind how the proteins interact with each other are difficult to study, but now researchers at Chalmers University of Tech.....»»
How tiny hinges bend the infection-spreading spikes of a coronavirus
A coronavirus uses protein "spikes" to grab and infect cells. Despite their name, those spikes aren't stiff and pointy. They're shaped like chicken drumsticks with the meaty part facing out, and the meaty part can tilt every which way on its slender.....»»
Caribbean island of Dominica creates world"s first marine protected area for endangered sperm whale
The tiny Caribbean island of Dominica is creating the world's first marine protected area for one of earth's largest animals: the endangered sperm whale......»»
Tiny Big Bang: ALICE experiment restarts with lead ions
On September 26, 2023, the accelerator team at the CERN European Council for Nuclear Research in Geneva declared stable lead-beam conditions, ushering in the first data-taking campaign of lead-ion collisions in five years. From then until the late ev.....»»
Gigabyte BIOS update outs next-gen AMD Ryzen APUs with upgraded Radeon GPUs
Desktop APUs with good iGPUs are useful for tiny PCs and low-budget builds. Enlarge (credit: AMD) The Ryzen 7000 desktop CPU series was AMD’s first to include a small integrated GPU by default to make the chips more ap.....»»
ESA is testing a modular multipurpose rover that could be a science lab or a tiny bulldozer
Most rovers have been built for Mars, and each one of them is a complex machine designed with specific goals and terrains in mind. But the moon is different than Mars. We're not searching for life there; we're trying to establish a presence......»»
Dynamics of skyrmion spin states confirmed in neutron-scattering experiments
RIKEN researchers have brought low-energy devices based on spintronics one step closer, by measuring the dynamics of tiny magnetic vortices......»»
