They were better than their competitors at surviving the cold

Researchers at the Department of Physics and the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter" of Universität Hamburg and the University of California at Irvine have recently proposed a new way to characterize...

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory in outer space spotted a solar eclipse when the moon passed in front of the sun on June 29, 2022.

Study reports the youngest children in a class are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD, suggesting immaturity in a peer group may influence diagnosis.

The cases emerged between January 2021 and June 2022.

As many as 4 billion people could be living outside the optimal climate for humans by the end of the century if we hit 2.7°C of global warming. At 1.5°C of warming, half as many people would be affected

Researchers have discovered tiny, never-before-seen carbon crystals in meteorite dust left over from the explosion of the Chelyabinsk meteor in 2013.

These viruses were found in hot springs and the deep sea.

A photodetector is a kind of optoelectronic device that can detect optical signals and convert them into electrical signals. These devices include photodiodes, phototransistors and photoconductors.

A previously unknown rustrela virus might be the cause of a staggering disease that affects cats in some parts of Europe

Researchers reveal the critical role the p62 gene plays in the selective autophagy of tau oligomers.

It may seem like technology advances year after year, as if by magic. But behind every incremental improvement and breakthrough revolution is a team of scientists and engineers hard at work.

Gene editing with CRISPR can cause off-target mutations, but this seems to happen less often with an enzyme that cuts one of the strands of DNA instead of both

Being already adapted to polar climes could have enabled dinosaurs to survive cold winters in the end-Triassic extinction event when most other animals died out

As they warm up, quantum computers can slow down or stop working altogether. A new kind made with specially engineered diamonds cools as it calculates

Researchers report the development of a chemical-based sequencing method to quantify different epigenetic markers simultaneously. Their method, called NT-seq, short for nitrite treatment followed by next-generation seque...

Scientists have developed a new CRISPR-based technology that could offer a safer approach to correcting genetic defects. The new 'soft' CRISPR approach makes use of natural DNA repair machinery, providing a foundation fo...

An unusual surge in anchovy populations has led to the fish raining down on San Francisco. Here's why.

Some scientists suggest minerals should be reorganised by the methods that make them, which would increase the known number of minerals on Earth by 75 per cent

Scientists have discovered a convergent mechanism that may be responsible for how two top-ranked genetic risk factors for autism spectrum disorder/intellectual disability (ASD/ID) lead to these neurodevelopmental disorde...

The effect of temperature on the performance of the semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) is an important research point. Amer Kotb and his colleagues from the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics ...
