Frozen mammoth skin retained its chromosome structure
Features as small as 50 nanometers preserved in a 50,000-year-old sample. Enlarge (credit: LEONELLO CALVETTI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY) One of the challenges of working with ancient DNA samples is that damage accumulates ove.....»»
Brazil builds "rings of carbon dioxide" to simulate climate change in the Amazon
In the depths of the Amazon, Brazil is building an otherworldly structure—a complex of towers arrayed in six rings, poised to spray mists of carbon dioxide into the rainforest. But the reason is utterly terrestrial: to understand how the world's la.....»»
Finally delicious: New proteins to revolutionize gluten-free baked goods
Gluten is one of the largest natural proteins and has fantastic properties: It keeps a well-cooked dough airy until baking stabilizes the open-pore structure. Prof. Dr. Mario Jekle from the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart is working on processes.....»»
New way of machining tiny diamond rotors could improve protein studies
Many of the biological materials that researchers are most interested in studying, including those associated with major diseases, don't lend themselves to the conventional methods that researchers typically use to probe a material's structure and ch.....»»
These floating triangle buildings could be the future of coastal cities
With sea levels rising, more cities may need to build on water. The decorative ponds surrounding the Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam have been taken over by a massive floating structure. Looking like an oversized camping tent, the structure is a caver.....»»
Video: Annual global ice loss simulated over Oslo
Satellites play a vital role in monitoring the rapid changes taking place in the Arctic. Tracking ice lost from the world's glaciers, ice sheets and frozen land shows that Earth is losing ice at an accelerating rate......»»

The Noah"s Ark for plants beneath the English countryside
Inside bomb-proof frozen vaults underneath the English countryside hides a treasure trove of 40,000 species of wild plant seeds from around the world, many of which are in danger of disappearing......»»
How cells rapidly create protrusions for exploration and movement
In order to move, cells must be able to rapidly change shape. A team of researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill show that cells achieve this by storing extra "skin" in folds and bumps on their surface. This cell surface exces.....»»
Feeling frozen? 4 out of 5 homes in southern Australia are colder than is healthy
Every winter we hear about soaring energy bills and people's inability to stay warm. But, until now, we haven't really known just how cold Australian homes are. Our newly published research suggests around four out of five of Australian homes fail to.....»»
James Webb"s "too massive" galaxies may be even more massive
The first results from the James Webb Space Telescope have hinted at galaxies so early and so massive that they are in tension with our understanding of the formation of structure in the universe. Various explanations have been proposed that may alle.....»»

Black holes might be defects in spacetime
A team of theoretical physicists have discovered a strange structure in space-time that to an outside observer would look exactly like a black hole, but upon closer inspection would be anything but: they would be defects in the very fabric of the uni.....»»
Designing cameras for harsh environments? Be sure to account for lens mount details
Cameras used in harsh environments must be designed in a way that prevents temperature swings from influencing their optical performance. New research demonstrates that accounting for the exact lens mounting structure used is a critical step in ensur.....»»
Can tiny brain tissues legally be a person? Researchers say not yet
Grown in labs, human brain organoids are cultivated from stem cells, feed on nutrient broth and serve as a model of human brain development in miniature. Their growth and structure mimic portions of real brains, allowing scientists to better investig.....»»
OpenVPN DIVE helps admins build ZTNA defined access control policies
