Intelligent sensors created for quality-assured cell production
Whether for drug screening or toxicity testing, stem cell-based 3D tissue models are key to biomedical research. However, producing cell aggregates in bioreacto...
Ancient Alaskan site may help explain how the first people arrived in North America
New evidence has emerged that sheds light on the possible first people to populate the Americas. Dating of stone and ivory tools found at an archaeological site...
Epiaceratherium itjilik: The rhino that lived in the Arctic
Paleontologists at the Canadian Museum of Nature have recently been studying the skeletal remains of a rhinoceros. This might not sound remarkable at first, but...
Mapping how Arctic groundwater will respond to thawing permafrost
Dalhousie researchers have revealed how Arctic aquifers—permeable layers of the ground that store and transmit water to rivers, lakes and terrestrial ecosystems...
New research finds interventions from child welfare services are linked to higher rates of criminalization
A new study, published in the journal Child Abuse & Neglect, showed that children who receive interventions from child welfare services are more likely to have...
A clearer look at critical materials, thanks to refrigerator magnets
With an advanced technology known as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), scientists are able to map out a material's electron energy-momentum rel...
Europe observatory hails plan to abandon light-polluting Chile project
Europe's ESO star-gazing organization on Monday welcomed plans to call off building a massive green energy project in the Chilean desert which threatened to spo...
Nanotubes with lids mimic real biology
When water and ions move together through channels only a nanometer wide, they behave in unusual ways. In these tight spaces, water molecules line up in single...
International collaboration spurs AI-powered drug discovery tool
Researchers from The Ohio State University and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have developed an artificial intelligence framework to rapidly generate...
Hubble sees galaxy with dark rings in new light
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features an uncommon galaxy with a striking appearance. NGC 7722 is a lenticular galaxy located about 187 million lig...
Perseverance rover completes first AI-planned drive on Mars
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has completed the first drives on another world that were planned by artificial intelligence. Executed on Dec. 8 and 10, and led...
Natural magnetic materials can control light in unprecedented ways
Imagine shining a flashlight into a material and watching the light bend backward—or in an entirely unexpected direction—as if defying the law of physics. This...
