Entdeckung und Erforschung: Raumfahrtmissionen und Astronomie, Physik und Biologie, neue Forschungsergebnisse und was die Wissenschaft über die Welt und darüber hinaus lernt.
Researchers found that trees sense their own shape and use tension wood on opposing stem sides, acting like muscles, to straighten their trunks. The findings could inform forestry and crop breeding.
Johns Hopkins researchers using lab-grown human retinal organoids found that vitamin A signaling and thyroid hormones help convert early blue cones into red and green cones in the foveola.
Johns Hopkins researchers identified claudin-4 as the receptor that lets the Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT) damage colon cells, and a decoy protein protected mice from it.
Researchers identified seven phases space rocks pass through during atmospheric entry, showing melting and fragmentation, not simple evaporation, determine how meteors lose mass.
A new model from UC Irvine researchers suggests Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier could add up to 30 mm to sea levels by 2100, with warm ocean water undermining its stabilizing ridges.
RIKEN researchers and collaborators reported in Nature Physics a calibration method that keeps five silicon spin qubits near 99.9% accuracy when run simultaneously on a shared microwave line.
Australia's under-16 social media restrictions, the first of their kind, are being tested for compliance and effectiveness as the UK, Norway, Spain and Canada consider similar laws.
October's full Hunter's Moon rises early Sunday, with Saturn appearing gold just a few degrees south of it after sunset. Peak illumination is expected at 11:12 p.m.
Barcelona has released over half a million male mosquitoes infected with wolbachia, a parasite causing effective sterility, in Europe's largest trial against mosquito-borne illness.
STAR physicists at Brookhaven found about 20% suppression of high-energy particles in head-on oxygen collisions, suggesting tiny quark-gluon plasma drops can form in small nuclei.
Asteroid Apophis, about 340 meters wide, will pass roughly 31,900 km from Earth in April 2029. Experts say there is no collision risk, and missions will study it during the approach.
Un épisode El Niño potentiellement historique est signalé par la NASA, tandis que l'ONU alerte sur ses conséquences et que des inondations ont déjà provoqué plus de 2000 évacuations en Argentine.
La NASA adelanta su programa Artemis con ensayos de acoplamiento en órbita terrestre con SpaceX y Blue Origin, y prepara una base lunar cerca del polo sur para 2028.
Circa l'8% del genoma umano deriva da antichi retrovirus; alcuni geni virali, come la sincizina, oggi contribuiscono alla formazione della placenta durante la gravidanza.
Uno studio su Current Biology stima che alcuni mosasauri del Cretaceo potessero accelerare sott'acqua a velocità paragonabili a quelle dello squalo bianco.
Matéria explica que o baixo atrito do gelo envolve camada pré-fundida, aquecimento por atrito e outros fatores, segundo pesquisas publicadas na Nature Physics.
Brazilian and Chinese researchers propose reading an Andreev qubit's state via the oscillating supercurrent it generates, avoiding the ancilla qubits used in current nondestructive readout methods. The study is theoretical.
Caltech and Yale researchers developed a quantum-chemistry-based method that predicts the Kondo effect in specific metals more accurately than model-based approaches, per a Science study.
Sementes de tomate lançadas pela NASA em 1984 retornaram após quase seis anos em órbita e foram usadas por milhões de estudantes em um projeto de ciências.
Un nuevo modelo de la NASA, UC Irvine y Dartmouth sugiere que el glaciar Thwaites podría elevar el nivel del mar hasta el doble de lo estimado para 2100.
PRL and IIT-Gandhinagar researchers show natrojarosite from Kutch, India, can serve as a Mars soil analogue to improve interpretation of orbiter and rover spectral data.
Gaia-based stellar ages suggest the Milky Way's thick disk formed in a turbulent early phase, with the thinner disk forming later through gradual gas settling.
A study reports that a common nutrient taken during pregnancy may be associated with higher IQ and better social behavior in children by age 4. Coverage across several outlets draws on a University of Colorado Anschutz release.
Après la journée de protestation du 24 octobre (1 300 interpellations, 53 policiers blessés), l'éditorial alerte sur un climat social toujours explosif avant la mobilisation du 5 novembre.
