Illuminating tissue formation through flourescence
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a molecule that fluoresces where new tissue is forming in the body. Alongside helping to detect tumors, the molecule could play a significant role in research of wound healing disorders......»»
Bursts of star formation explain mysterious brightness at cosmic dawn
When scientists viewed the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) first images of the universe's earliest galaxies, they were shocked. The young galaxies appeared too bright, too massive and too mature to have formed so soon after the Big Bang. It would.....»»
Researchers investigate role of water molecules in formation of condensates in cells
In order to fulfill their function, biological cells need to be divided into separate reaction compartments. This is sometimes done with membranes, and sometimes without them: the spontaneous segregation of certain types of biomolecules leads to the.....»»
Researchers invent a new metallization method of modified tannic acid photoresist patterning
The micro/nano metal pattern formation is a key step in the assembly of various devices. However, ex situ approaches of metal patterning limited their industrial applications due to the poor stability and dispersion of metal nanoparticles. The in sit.....»»
Growth of "baby galaxies" witnessed with James Webb Space Telescope
Scientists have theorized how galaxies evolve, but details in their early phase of formation remained shrouded in celestial clouds of mystery......»»
Biological particles found to play crucial role in Arctic cloud ice formation
An international team of scientists from Sweden, Norway, Japan, and Switzerland, has presented research findings that reveal a crucial role of biological particles, including pollen, spores, and bacteria, in the formation of ice within Arctic clouds......»»
Computer simulations show how intermediate-mass black holes could form inside stellar clusters
An international consortium of astronomers, including staff from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, has successfully unraveled the intricate formation mechanisms of the elusive intermediate-mass black holes. They could represent the link between.....»»
Vega"s fuel-free CubeSats will use wings to keep in formation
Spain's trio of ANSER CubeSats, due to fly on Europe's next Vega launcher, will fly like a flock of birds in orbit—in more ways than one. Keeping in formation by following their leader, the three shoebox-sized satellite will image Iberian waters as.....»»
3D organoids unlock promising insights into lung cancer in dogs
Veterinary researchers have used organoids—three-dimensional organ-like structures grown from stem cells and tissue samples—to investigate the biological processes of lung cancer in dogs, a disease that is much rarer in our canine friends than it.....»»
Scientists marry MRI, ultrasound, and optoacoustics for improved medical exams
Physicians and researchers rely on biomedical imaging to examine the structure and function of living tissue. This enables disease diagnostics and experiments that reveal the mechanisms behind pathologies and ways to treat them. The most popular tech.....»»
AI predicts sea surface temperature cooling during tropical cyclones
Tropical cyclones are extreme weather events, characterized by a circular form and formation over warm tropical oceans experiencing low atmospheric pressure, high winds and heavy rain. Tropical storms exceed 39 miles per hour (mph), while hurricanes.....»»
Ediacaran fossils reveal origins of biomineralization that led to expansion of life on Earth
Life on Earth began from a single-celled microbe, while the rise to the multicellular world in which we live arose due a vital chemical process known as biomineralization, during which living organisms produce hardened mineralized tissue, such as ske.....»»
Study reveals cosmic surprises about star formation from the dawn of time
A groundbreaking international study has unveiled remarkable insights into the early evolution of galaxies, shedding light on the fundamental processes that have shaped our universe. The findings were published in Nature Astronomy......»»
Astronomers find abundance of Milky Way–like galaxies in early universe, rewriting cosmic evolution theories
Galaxies from the early universe are more like our own Milky Way than previously thought, flipping the entire narrative of how scientists think about structure formation in the universe, according to new research published today......»»
From forming embryo to cancer metastasis: The significance of collective cell movement
Against all expectations, the most common tissue in our bodies behaves differently at different length scales. That's what physicist Luca Giomi discovered in his research into the flow of cells. "Our findings are even more interesting than we hoped f.....»»
Scientists design fresh tomatoes suitable for mechanical harvesting
According to a study published in Nature Plants, Chinese scientists have elucidated the mechanism of fruit shape formation in tomatoes and have developed fresh tomatoes for mechanical harvesting......»»
Composite 2D materials for fiber lasers show promise for ultrafast optics applications
The formation of dissipative solitons is influenced by several factors, such as spectral filtering effects and Kerr nonlinear effects. This interaction leads to the possibility of mode locking over a wide range of parameters, generating pulses whose.....»»
Researchers study the formation of cardenolides in plants
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena are investigating the previously largely unknown biosynthetic pathway that leads to the formation of cardenolides in plants......»»
Using topology, researchers advance understanding of how cells organize themselves
The fact that humans and other living organisms can develop and grow from a single cell relies on a process called embryonic development. For healthy tissue to form, cells in the embryo have to organize themselves in the right way in the right place.....»»
Researchers discover gravitational collapse and accretion flows in hub filament system G323.46-0.08
Hub-filament systems are ubiquitous in molecular clouds. Most dense clumps and cores are formed in filaments and play a key role in star formation process. Therefore, investigating hub-filament system is one of the best ways to understand high-mass s.....»»
How trees influence cloud formation
As part of the international CLOUD project at the nuclear research center CERN, researchers at PSI have identified so-called sesquiterpenes—gaseous hydrocarbons that are released by plants—as being a major factor in cloud formation. This finding.....»»
