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......»»
New paleoaltimetry research questions assumptions about the formation of the Himalayas
Mountain ranges play a key role in global climate, altering weather and shaping the flora and fauna that inhabit their slopes and the valleys below. As warm air rises windward grades and cools, moisture condenses into rain and snow. On the leeward si.....»»
Novel algorithm able to detect mutations in single-cell sequencing data sets
Single-cell RNA sequencing data are useful for studying cell phenotypes and function. However, deciphering the clonal relationships of cells is critical to understanding the patterns of cell migration during development and tissue growth, and to stud.....»»
Telecommunications cable used to track sea ice extent in the Arctic
A telecommunications fiber optic cable deployed offshore of Oliktok Point, Alaska recorded ambient seismic noise that can be used to finely track the formation and retreat of sea ice in the area, researchers report in The Seismic Record......»»
Dissecting the anatomy of a "superheroic" science class
What do superheroes Deadpool and Elastigirl have in common? Each was used in a college anatomy class to add relevance to course discussions—Deadpool to illustrate tissue repair, and Elastigirl, aka Mrs. Incredible, as an example of hyperflexibility.....»»
Physicists open new path to an exotic form of superconductivity
Physicists have identified a mechanism for the formation of oscillating superconductivity known as pair-density waves. Physical Review Letters published the discovery, which provides new insight into an unconventional, high-temperature superconductiv.....»»
Carbon Capture and Storage projects in Denmark at risk from bitumen formation
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is increasingly being cited to help our global warming crisis by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through capturing carbon dioxide and storing deep underground. In the Danish North Sea, chalk rocks below the sea bed.....»»
Model with an extraordinary glass-forming ability expected to approach the ideal glass state, if it exists
Humans have been entranced by the unique beauty and physical properties of glass, producing jewelry, containers, and tools from the material for millennia. However, the physics underlying the phenomenon of glass formation remains surprisingly complex.....»»
"City killers" and half-giraffes: How many scary asteroids really go past Earth every year?
Asteroids are chunks of rock left over from the formation of our solar system. Approximately half a billion asteroids with sizes greater than four meters in diameter orbit the sun, traveling through our solar system at speeds up to about 30 kilometer.....»»
Team identifies gas streamers feeding triple baby stars
New observations and simulations of three spiral arms of gas feeding material to three protostars forming in a trinary system have clarified the formation of multi-star systems......»»
New exoplanet discovery builds better understanding of planet formation
An international team of scientists has discovered an unusual Jupiter-sized planet orbiting a low-mass star called TOI-4860, located in the Corvus constellation......»»
Researchers design algorithm to monitor two-photon lithography nanoscale fabrication
A new way to monitor two-photon lithography nanoscale fabrication could help improve the accuracy and efficiency of creating 3D-engineered tissue scaffolds, according to a new study. Tissue scaffolds mimic the natural extracellular matrices found in.....»»
The British Miracle Meat: How banning repugnant choices obscures the real issue of poverty
A provocative Channel 4 satirical program, "The British Miracle Meat," has led to hundreds of complaints to media regulator Ofcom. The mockumentary depicts ordinary Britons facing the cost of living crisis selling thin slices of their tissue to an in.....»»
Ryugu samples reveal traces of rock from before the Sun existed
Small bits of material in the asteroid contain isotopes made in specific stars. Enlarge / Ryugu's rubble pile includes some small fragments left over from our Solar System's formation. (credit: ISAS, JAXA) When JAXA’s.....»»
Collisions between asteroids may lead to formation of metal asteroids able to generate and record magnetism: Study
Yale researchers may have solved a longstanding puzzle as to why certain metallic meteorites show traces of a magnetic field—a finding that may shed light on the formation of magnetic dynamos at the core of planets......»»
Organoids revolutionize research on respiratory infections
Biofilms are highly resistant communities of bacteria that pose a major challenge in the treatment of infections. While studying biofilm formation in laboratory conditions has been extensively conducted, understanding their development in the complex.....»»
Apple, Pixar, Adobe, and others form Alliance for OpenUSD for cinematic 3D content
As Apple moves into virtual reality with Vision Pro, the company has announced the formation of a new initiative to create cinematic 3D content for that world. The company is partnering with Pixar, Adobe, Autodesk, and NVIDIA to form the Alliance for.....»»
Astronomers shed new light on formation of mysterious fast radio bursts
More than 15 years after the discovery of fast radio bursts (FRBs)—millisecond-long, deep-space cosmic explosions of electromagnetic radiation—astronomers worldwide have been combing the universe to uncover clues about how and why they form......»»
Researchers achieve water-assisted strong underwater adhesion
As the interfacial water layer hinders the formation of interfacial contacts and intermolecular interactions between the adhesive and the substrate, in almost all cases of underwater adhesion, water molecules typically act as a destroyer, resulting i.....»»
