An observatory run by the University of Utah found a “hotspot” beneath the Big Dipper emitting a disproportionate number of the highest-energy cosmic rays. The…
Diagnosing and treating elephants with TB is a challenge, however, as little is known about how their immune systems respond to the infection. A new study…
The researchers reported on the test at the 2014 Mycological Society of America Annual Meeting.
The world is mostly neutral. That is, most of the atoms in our environment are electrically neutral. The number of electrons in the outer parts of atoms equals…
Puberty is the threshold between childhood and adulthood. Behavior and appearance change considerably during this period – not only in humans but also in our…
Physicians normally diagnose the tropical disease by using a microscope to search for parasites in blood samples. The problem is that practically every…
The answers to these questions could help doctors and researchers manipulate protein levels in the body that cause disease, especially cancer. A University of…
Deregulation of mTOR signaling increases the risk of developing metabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity and cancer. In the current issue of the journal…
Scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) have found between Greenland and Spitsbergen the scours left…
The web can be an opaque black box: it leverages our personal information without our knowledge or control. When, for instance, a user sees an ad about…
Playing the part of inspectors, the experts will have access to a wide range of sensor technologies to look for signs of whether a nuclear explosion has taken…
The finding of a ‘cell-like’ structure, which investigators now know once held water, came about as a result of collaboration between scientists in the UK and…
A review of data from more than 150 studies from the U.S. and other regions showed that high yields were linked to production systems in which corn plants took…
The molecule, iso-propyl cyanide, was discovered in Sgr B2, a star forming region close to the center of our galaxy that is a hot-spot for molecule-hunting…
Mutations in the gene that encodes BRCA2 are well known for raising the risk of breast cancer and other cancers. Although the protein was known to be involved…
Their model predicts that a bright hot star, which is the binary companion to an exploding object, remains after the explosion. To verify their theory, the…
The roadmap focuses on strategic and tactical objectives to support the federal government’s accelerated adoption of cloud computing. This final document…
The gene mutations lead to an impaired regulation in the release of certain nerve cell messenger substances. The consequence of this is an increase of…
The physics community has spent three decades searching for and finding no evidence that dark matter is made of tiny exotic particles. Case Western Reserve…
Applied to the outer shell of the payload section of a rocket using pipettes, small, double-stranded DNA molecules flew into space from Earth and back again….
