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......»»
Fossil study shows coelacanths thrived in Switzerland after a mass extinction
The study of a new species of coelacanth from the Middle Triassic period, with a strange morphology for these fish known as "living fossil," show the formation of several species in a short time, after a mass extinction that occurred 252 million year.....»»
New computer simulations follow the formation of galaxies and cosmic large-scale structure with precision
York University and an international team of astrophysicists have made an ambitious attempt to simulate the formation of galaxies and cosmic large-scale structure throughout staggeringly large swaths of space......»»
3D/4D printed bio-piezoelectric scaffolds show potential in bone tissue engineering
Piezoelectricity has been well recognized as the key factor in bone regeneration. However, the current additive-manufactured scaffolds mainly focus on the reconstruction of bionic topological structure and mechanical microenvironment, while the cruci.....»»
Astronomers investigate recent star formation history of the Fireworks Galaxy
Astronomers from the University of Washington in Seattle and elsewhere have conducted Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the nearby Fireworks Galaxy. Results of the observational campaign, presented July 10 on the preprint server arXiv, yie.....»»
Lessons from the sun: How studying solar cycles can create a safer future on Earth
In 1859, the Carrington Event, the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history, created spectacular auroral displays around the globe, illuminating the night skies so brightly that birds began singing and laborers set off for work, mistakenly.....»»
Oregon"s Cannon Beach reopens after cougar sighting on iconic coastal rock led to closure
A cougar that climbed onto a towering rock off the coast of northwest Oregon over the weekend—probably in search of feathered prey—has abandoned the craggy formation, allowing for the popular Cannon Beach to reopen to visitors Monday......»»
Team fabricates chitin hydrogel via chemical transformation of chitosan
Chitin hydrogel is recognized as a promising material for a variety of biomedical applications. Its biocompatibility and biodegradability make it useful in tissue repair, artificial organs, and wound healing. Yet scientists continue to face challenge.....»»
Unimolecular reactions of anti-glycolaldehyde oxide and its reactions with one and two water molecules
Criegee intermediates are produced in the ozonolysis of unsaturated compounds in the atmosphere. These intermediates are especially important because they contribute to the formation of OH radicals during the night and to the formation of secondary o.....»»
Stellar cradles and graves observed in farthest galaxy ever
New observations using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have distinguished the sites of star formation and a possible site of star death from the surrounding nebula in a galaxy 13.2 billion light-years away. This is the farthes.....»»
Study shows coral affected by stony coral tissue loss disease can produce viable offspring
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has wreaked havoc on coral reefs across the Caribbean, resulting in significant mortality of various coral species, including Pseudodiploria strigosa, which has been particularly affected in the Mexican Caribbe.....»»
Researchers investigate rotation in solar transition region
The solar transition region, located between the chromosphere and corona, plays an important role in the formation of solar wind and coronal heating mechanism. The solar transition region is not a statically layered structure, but a dynamic region wi.....»»
Laser experiments reveal how high voltage affects charged ions in burning fuel
A burning flame is full of charged particles that can be affected by an electric field. KAUST researchers have now studied the use of high voltages to control these particles, which could potentially reduce soot formation and improve a flame's stabil.....»»
New research dates the formation of Earth"s continents
Researchers at Curtin University have established a new framework for dating the Earth's evolution including the formations of continents and mineral deposits......»»
The 21-cm forest probe may unlock secrets of early universe, nature of dark matter
The mystery of the formation of the first galaxies in the universe is a puzzle for researchers. The nature of dark matter is also one of the most important mysteries faced by fundamental physicists. However, understanding the nature of dark matter—.....»»
Elon Musk announces a new AI company
Elon Musk on Wednesday announced the formation of a new company focused on artificial intelligence, after months of teasing plans to build a rival to ChatGPT......»»
Study uncovers the secrets of plant regeneration
Plants have the unique ability to regenerate entirely from a somatic cell, i.e., an ordinary cell that does not typically participate in reproduction. This process involves the de novo (or new) formation of a shoot apical meristem (SAM) that gives ri.....»»
Experimental constraints on the oxidation state of early magma on the Earth
The link between a planetary interior and its surface is a key to understanding the formation process of the surface environment of the planet......»»
Large sub-surface granite formation signals ancient volcanic activity on moon"s dark side
A large formation of granite discovered below the lunar surface likely was formed from the cooling of molten lava that fed a volcano or volcanoes that erupted early in the moon's history—as long as 3.5 billion years ago......»»
"Sandwich" discovery offers new explanation for planet formation
Scientists have made a new discovery on how small planets might form. Researchers at the University of Warwick investigated the "birth environment" of planets—areas of gas and dust that swirl around a central star—known as the protoplanetary disk.....»»
Researchers discover Gulf Stream thermal fronts controlling North Atlantic subtropical mode water formation
Subtropical mode water (STMW) is a vertically homogeneous thermocline water mass, serving as heat, carbon, and oxygen silos in the ocean interior and providing memory of climate variability for climate prediction. Understanding physics governing STMW.....»»
