TESS discovers nine new "hot Jupiters"
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered nine new "hot Jupiter" exoplanets. One of the newly detected alien worlds is almost four times more massive than Jupiter. The finding was p.....»»
New research discovers adult Komodo teeth are surprisingly similar to those of theropod dinosaurs
Kilat, the largest living lizard at the Toronto Metro Zoo, like other members of his species (Varanus komodoensis), truly deserves to be called the Komodo dragon. His impressive size and the way he looks at you and tracks your every move makes you re.....»»
Team discovers mechanism that protects tissue after faulty gene expression
A study at the University of Cologne's CECAD Cluster of Excellence in Aging Research has identified a protein complex that is activated by defects in the spliceosome, the molecular scissors that process genetic information. Future research could lead.....»»

Webb discovers baffling ‘cat’s tail’ in Beta Pictoris
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have captured images of a dusty “cat’s tail” in the young planetary system known as Beta Pictoris. This … The post Webb discovers baffling ‘cat’s tail’ in Beta.....»»
Study discovers how a system of proteins helps Salmonella survive inside macrophages
Salmonella is notorious for surviving and replicating in macrophages, which are normally lethal to invading bacteria because of their inhospitable environment. In a new study, researchers have discovered how a system of proteins, called TamAB, helps.....»»
Webb discovers dusty "cat"s tail" in Beta Pictoris System
Beta Pictoris, a young planetary system located just 63 light-years away, continues to intrigue scientists even after decades of in-depth study. It possesses the first dust disk imaged around another star—a disk of debris produced by collisions bet.....»»
Cosmic chemistry unveils stellar dance: ALMA telescope discovers hidden orbit secrets
A team of international scientists, armed with the powerful ALMA telescope array in Chile, has unraveled the cosmic mysteries surrounding a dying star, revealing an intricate celestial dance shaped by unusual chemistry......»»
Computational method discovers hundreds of new ceramics for extreme environments
If you have a deep-seated, nagging worry over dropping your phone in molten lava, you're in luck. A research team led by materials scientists at Duke University has developed a method for rapidly discovering a new class of materials with heat and ele.....»»
LST-1 discovers the most distant active galactic nucleus at very high energies
On 15 December, the Large-Sized Telescope (LST) Collaboration announced through an Astronomer's Telegram (ATel) the detection of the source OP 313 at very high energies with the LST-1. Although OP 313 was known at lower energies, it had never been de.....»»
Team discovers relationship between DNA replication timing and how genes fold into 3D structures inside cell nucleus
The intricate process of duplicating genetic information, referred to as DNA replication, lies at the heart of the transmission of life from one cell to another and from one organism to the next. This happens by not just copying the genetic informati.....»»
Paleontologist discovers rare soft tissue in fossil of crab
Most animals and plants never fossilize. For those that do, it's usually only hard parts such as bones and shells that preserve. However, in some exceptional cases, soft tissues such as muscles and gills survive the fossilization process and can pres.....»»
Researcher discovers new technique for photon detection
University of Central Florida researcher Debashis Chanda, a professor at the NanoScience Technology Center, has developed a new technique to detect photons—elementary particles that span from visible light to radio frequencies and are instrumental.....»»
A 14-inch spacecraft delivers new details about "hot Jupiters"
A spacecraft the size of a cereal box has collected precise measurements of the atmospheres of large and puffy planets called "hot Jupiters." The findings, led by a team from the University of Colorado Boulder, could help reveal how the atmospheres a.....»»
