Scoperta ed esplorazione: missioni spaziali e astronomia, fisica e biologia, nuovi risultati della ricerca e ciò che gli scienziati imparano sul mondo e oltre.
Portland State's eXtreme Virus Lab received a three-year $1 million NSF grant to study cruciviruses, hybrid RNA-DNA viruses, and their hosts. The work aims to inform understanding of viral emergence and pandemic risk.
A review of 20 trials covering over 2,400 workers found ergonomic office equipment did little to reduce pain, sick leave, or disability for arm, neck, and shoulder complaints.
A large Nature study of 1.14 million people links thousands of tiny DNA variants to the Big Five personality traits, but researchers say a short online quiz predicts personality better than genes.
A study in Science Advances links bursts of transposable element activity after the asteroid impact to the later diversification of ants and their chemical-signaling genes.
Geriatric specialists at several Indian institutions say persistent memory loss and loss of daily functioning signal dementia, not normal ageing, and urge early medical assessment.
Researchers found no chytrid fungus among 2,000+ amphibians in Colombia's Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, but a virulent variant was detected only about 20 km away.
BBC analysis examines how AI is boosting discovery while fuelling fears of fake citations, AI-written papers, and disputed claims that could erode trust in science.
A group of moms called 'mombies' stages a zombie-themed Halloween flash mob to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' each year, raising funds for breast cancer research and awareness.
Peloton instructor Robin Arzón led a free 20-minute ride featuring astronaut Jessica Meir broadcasting from the International Space Station, explaining space exercise and life aboard.
Delft University of Technology researchers manipulated the nuclear spin of a single atom using radio waves, contrary to prior expectations. The finding, published in Nature Communications, may aid quantum information storage.
A study found autistic participants, particularly women, reported more severe menopause symptoms than non-autistic peers, according to multiple outlets covering the same research.
L'Istituto Superiore di Sanità segnala che molti italiani hanno pressione arteriosa elevata e consumano troppo sale, due fattori di rischio per l'ictus, alla vigilia della Giornata Mondiale dell'Ictus.
A trade feature surveys new atomic spectroscopy advances: tandem ICP-MS/MS, single-particle nanoparticle counting, LIBS on Mars and in tumor classification, micrometer imaging, and AI-assisted instruments.
O telescópio Neil Gehrels Swift, da NASA, deve reentrar na atmosfera nas próximas semanas, sem data ou local definidos. Parte da estrutura pode resistir ao calor.
A global seismic analysis of 716 stations finds widespread partial melt beneath tectonic plates, but the melt appears to do little to weaken the mantle that enables plate motion.
New JWST NIRSpec phase-curve analysis suggests lava world TOI-561b may retain a thick, reflective, cloudy atmosphere despite intense stellar irradiation, challenging current theory.
Observaciones del telescopio James Webb sugieren que WISE 0855, una enana marrón a unos 7,5 años luz, tiene nubes de agua o hielo que cambian con el tiempo.
La NASA dio por terminada la misión del observatorio Swift, que reingresará a la atmósfera en las próximas semanas con una trayectoria que incluye gran parte de Argentina.
A study reports a routine blood test may predict dementia risk up to 15 years in advance, alongside related Alzheimer's blood-test research and imaging-sector coverage.
NASA's Swift observatory, which detected thousands of gamma-ray bursts over 22 years, is nearing the end of its mission after a failed rescue attempt.
La NASA confirmó que el telescopio espacial Swift reingresará sin control a la atmósfera, con una franja de caída que incluye parte de Argentina y Sudamérica.
The Defense Intelligence Agency released its clearest image yet of China's reusable spaceplane with its service module attached, alongside assessments of Chinese satellite expansion.
