Dalí's 'sublime' amber medium may explain unusual aging in a museum masterpiece
As part of the FED-tWIN Face-to-Face project, a multidisciplinary team bringing together the European Centre of Archaeometry (University of Liège, ULiège), the...
Platform for precise cellular control uses non-genetic DNA decoupled from genetic information
Stepping away from its billions-of-years-old role as a genetic blueprint, DNA is now embarking on a new journey as an active field agent within cells. This rese...
Engineered E. coli dependency may help contain microbes to defined areas
Take a typical fish out of the water and it won't live long. It gets the oxygen it needs from the water it swims in. In a similar way, scientists are exploring...
New 2D material demonstrates capability for ultrathin waveplates
Polarization has always been a core property of light that is essential for a broad range of everyday applications, including displays (LED, LCD, 3D Cinematics)...
Want to be a citizen scientist? Here are five ways to get involved
Ever wondered what it might feel like to spot giant spider crabs while you're snorkeling? Or check plants for the circular holes that indicate native bees are c...
This tiny organism simply loves corners, using geometry to sense its world
A surprising observation in the lab has revealed a remarkable ability in Stentor coeruleus, a single-celled organism about one millimeter long. Sometimes nickna...
One-atom substitution successfully tunes molecular heat transport for the first time
Control of heat transport in nanostructures is of central importance for numerous modern technologies—from high-performance computer chips that need to be coole...
A global carbon credit program risks rewarding the wrong behavior
A United Nations-backed framework for protecting tropical forests could allow governments to collect income from carbon credits without advancing forest conserv...
Satellite data map reveals 33 subglacial lakes beneath the Canadian Arctic
Researchers have created the first map of a network of subglacial lakes in the Canadian Arctic showing 33 bodies of water under glaciers. Using a decade of Arct...
Ghostly particles: Dark radiation may have masqueraded as neutrinos
New research suggests that neutrinos in the early universe may have transformed into a previously unknown form of radiation. A study from Washington University...
Ultra-low asparagine wheat developed using precision gene editing
Scientists at Rothamsted Research have successfully developed wheat with dramatically reduced levels of asparagine, without affecting yield, using gene editing...
Artemis II to test new models that predict solar particle storms up to a day ahead
During the Artemis II mission launched Wednesday, NASA will test out a pair of new solar radiation forecasts, developed at University of Michigan Engineering, d...
