When a massive star runs out of fuel, its core collapses. This collapse releases a flood of neutrinos, which push a shock wave outward through the star’s layers. If the shock is strong enough, it ...
The Universe is continually expanding, and scientists measure its expansion rate, the Hubble Constant, using two main methods: electromagnetic methods (using light from stars, galaxies, or supernovae) ...
Researchers have been exploring different ways to improve memory, from mental training exercises to nutritional changes. A new study by University of California, Irvine (UCI) researchers found a ...
New “prebiotic gel-first” theory suggests life may have begun in sticky, surface-bound gels Primitive gels could have concentrated and protected molecules, enabling complex chemical reactions long ...
Artistic representation of a 229Th nucleus hosted inside a CaF2 crystal experiencing a local electric field gradient. The 229Th nuclear electric quadrupole moment interacts with the electric field, ...
The superconducting gap sets the basic energy scale that allows electricity to flow without resistance in a superconductor. In high‑temperature cuprates, the paired electrons (Cooper pairs) are mostly ...
SAR11 bacteria comprise some 40% of marine bacterial cells, making them an essential part of our ocean ecosystems. (Image source: Smithsonian / Xiaowei Zhao.) For decades, SAR11 bacteria, tiny ocean ...
A quark zooms through quark-gluon plasma, creating a wake in the plasma. “Studying how quark wakes bounce back and forth will give us new insights on the quark-gluon plasma’s properties,” Yen-Jie Lee ...
Experts have long known that strong social ties and regular physical activity help older adults stay healthy. What has been less clear is how these two factors work together. A new literature review ...
A quartz crystal subjected to a temperature gradient, leading to the generation of orbital angular momentum in the surrounding electron environment. Image: NC State University Electrons’ orbital ...
Therapeutic Potential of CRISPR–Cas3 Genome-Editing System for Transthyretin Amyloidosis. Credit: Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo, Japan A fresh twist on gene editing could ...
Ph.D. candidate Michael Chiappone simulated real-world floods at the University of Minnesota’s St. Anthony Falls Laboratory. Credit: Michael Chiappone. Bones carried into rivers and floodplains form a ...
