Experiments to simulate Mars" core may explain the loss of its magnetic field and oceans
It has long been known that Mars once had oceans due in part to a protective magnetic field similar to Earth's. However, the magnetic field disappeared and new research may finally be able to explain why. Researchers recreated conditions expected in.....»»
LHC experiments are stepping up their data processing game
Analyzing as many as one billion proton collisions per second or tens of thousands of very complex lead collisions is not an easy job for a traditional computer farm. With the latest upgrades of the LHC experiments due to come into action next year,.....»»
Experiments with fruit flies suggest learning differences might involve more than just nature versus nurture
A team of researchers from Harvard University, the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute reports evidence that certain learning differences between individuals of the same species might involve.....»»

CES might be a show for all kinds of innovations, but it's still the best place to see which TVs are headed our way. These TVs were the best of the show......»»
Seeing the plasma edge of fusion experiments in new ways with artificial intelligence
To make fusion energy a viable resource for the world's energy grid, researchers need to understand the turbulent motion of plasmas: a mix of ions and electrons swirling around in reactor vessels. The plasma particles, following magnetic field lines.....»»
New research method reveals how businesses can run better experiments
Many companies today use experiments to gather the data that drives their strategies. That's how Facebook knows whether a newsfeed change increased user engagement, or how a bank knows whether its new promotional strategy increased deposits......»»
High-resolution lab experiments show how cells "eat"
A new study shows how cell membranes curve to create the "mouths" that allow the cells to consume things that surround them......»»
Experiments suggests archerfish can differentiate between numbers
A trio of researchers at the University of Trento, in Italy, has found via experimentation that archerfish can distinguish between numbers. Davide Potrich, Mirko Zanon and Giorgio Vallortigara have published their study on the bioRxiv preprint server.....»»
Worldwide paradigm shift in which producers actively contribute to agronomic understanding
Since its beginning in 1989, the Nebraska On-Farm Research Network has helped producers, in partnership with Nebraska Extension, analyze experiments suited to the specific conditions of their fields. This collaboration has boosted agronomic understan.....»»
Skin cell Band-Aid, monoclonal antibodies among experiments launched by SpaceX
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket beat the rain and launched at 5:08 a.m. Tuesday from Kennedy Space Center to bring 6,500 pounds of cargo that includes a variety of medical experiments to the International Space Station......»»
Integrated photonics meets electron microscopy
Scientists in Switzerland and Germany have achieved efficient electron-beam modulation using integrated photonics—circuits that guide light on a chip. The experiments could lead to entirely new quantum measurement schemes in electron microscopy......»»
New research moves closer to harnessing viruses to fight bacteria and reduce antibiotic use
A new study has cast new light on how to best combine antibiotics and phage therapy. Researchers conducted laboratory experiments on Pseudomonas aeruginosa a bacterium which causes disease in immunocompromised and cystic fibrosis patients. They expos.....»»
Respawn Experiments With Region Locks In Attempt To “Guarantee Competitive Integrity At The Highest Rank” In Apex Legends

Protein domain structures affect the quality of stem cells
The original iPS cells were reprogrammed by transducing four genes: OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC. Later experiments would show that c-MYC can be replaced with MYCL. Both are MYC proteins and thus oncogenes, but animal experiments have demonstrated t.....»»
