Scientists discover how glucose and lipid metabolism is regulated by non-coding RNA
A group of Skoltech researchers under Dr. Olga Sergeeva's supervision studied the functions of a long non-coding RNA, which is "read" from the genome, but does not carry the information about protein structure. In experiments on animals and cell line.....»»
NASA and NOAA rank 2024 ozone hole as 7th-smallest since recovery began
Healing continues in the atmosphere over the Antarctic: a hole that opens annually in the ozone layer over Earth's southern pole was relatively small in 2024 compared to other years. Scientists with NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin.....»»

Study models dinoflagellate light in breaking waves
A new study led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography demonstrates, for the first time, how scientists can use computer simulations to quantify the light emitted by dinoflagellates when they flash in breaking waves and create stunning displays of bi.....»»
Changing climate could increase mobility of toxic metals in soils, experimental study shows
The changes scientists expect in the climate could cause toxic metals naturally occurring in soils to become more mobile, destabilize ecosystems and increasingly enter the human food chain via agriculture. Such scenarios are particularly likely to oc.....»»
Compact in-incubator imaging device allows real-time remote monitoring of cell growth
Unlike most cells in the human body, stem cells have the unique ability to divide indefinitely. This property makes them especially appealing to scientists exploring ways to extend human lifespans or develop new methods for repairing damaged tissues......»»
A new genetic web tool can help restore climate-resilient marine ecosystems
In the face of increased human pressures and climate change, a team of Australian scientists led by Dr. Georgina Wood at Flinders University has launched a new online tool to assist marine managers and restoration experts to bolster the resilience of.....»»

Scientists identify gene that regulates pod width in snap beans
iSnap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a significant vegetable crop globally, with its immature pods harvested as the edible part. Pod dimensions–length, width, and thickness–affect the size and ease of harvest. This is particularly for manual plu.....»»
Modified metal-organic framework can capture benzene in the atmosphere to tackle a major health risk
Scientists have developed a new material capable of capturing the harmful chemical benzene from the polluted air, offering a potential solution for tackling a major health and environmental risk......»»
Mars may have been habitable much more recently than thought
Evidence suggests Mars could very well have been teeming with life billions of years ago. Now cold, dry, and stripped of what was once a potentially protective magnetic field, the red planet is a kind of forensic scene for scientists investigating wh.....»»
Researchers discover exotic jeilongvirus in rodent
On a warm May day, an all-black domestic shorthair cat named Pepper entered his Gainesville, Florida, home and dropped a dead mouse on the carpet at his owner's feet......»»
New image recognition technique for counting particles provides diffusion information
A team of scientists have invented a new technique to determine the dynamics of microscopic interacting particles by using image recognition to count the number of particles in an imaginary box. By changing the size of the observation box, such count.....»»
Scientists provide direct evidence of breakdown of spin statistics in ion-atom charge exchange collisions
Since the first X-ray image of a comet was reported using an X-ray telescope in 1996, the investigation of charge exchange in collisions between highly charged ions and atoms or molecules has emerged as a hot research topic......»»
Astronomers discover one of the fastest-spinning stars in the universe
A new study by DTU Space researchers has revealed a neutron star that rotates around its axis at an extremely high speed. It spins 716 times per second, making it one of the fastest-spinning objects ever observed......»»
