Physics has long failed to explain life—but researchers are testing a groundbreaking new theory in the lab
Modern physics can explain everything from the spin of the tiniest particle to the behavior of entire galaxy clusters. But it can't explain life. There's simply no formula to explain the difference between a living lump of matter and a dead one. Life.....»»
New exoplanet-informed research sets clearer bounds on the search for radio technosignatures
In a new study published in The Astronomical Journal, researchers used the known population of exoplanets and extrapolated to the much larger, unknown population of exoplanets to set better thresholds for planetary effects on signals from ETIs (extra.....»»

Q&A: Demystifying the biology of growing older
Exercise. Social connections. Sunscreen. It seems there is no shortage of advice on how to stay young, but among scientists, the exact physiology behind aging remains unknown. Tufts Now asked biology professor Mitch McVey to decode the latest and mos.....»»
Uncovering previously unexplored cellular mechanisms
Single-cell and spatially resolved omics have helped scientists take a closer look at tissue composition, structure, and function. This comprehensive understanding paves the way for them to uncover some intricate and previously unknown disease mechan.....»»
Nitrogen enrichment delays the emergence of an aridity-induced threshold for plant biomass
Crossing certain aridity thresholds in global drylands can lead to abrupt decays of ecosystem attributes such as plant productivity, potentially causing land degradation and desertification. It is largely unknown, however, whether these thresholds ca.....»»
