Phys.org / DNA repair enzyme uses one-dimensional sliding to detect key sites, researchers reveal
DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In particular, if "apurinic/apyrimidinic sites" (AP sites, damaged sites where one letter of DNA information ...
Phys.org / Image: Colorful, chaotic Jupiter
NASA's Juno spacecraft captured this color-enhanced view of Jupiter's northern hemisphere during its 61st close flyby of the giant planet on May 12, 2024.
Phys.org / Strange winds on seven hot Jupiters reveal strongest signs yet of exoplanet magnetic activity
A team of astronomers has found the strongest evidence yet that some planets outside our solar system may be magnetic. Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) and the Gemini North telescope, ...
Phys.org / On-demand Arctic observations with low-cost balloon systems could sharpen local storm forecasts
Arctic communities are increasingly exposed to dangerous weather events due to climate change and rely on accurate weather forecasts. However, conditions in the lower atmosphere remain poorly observed in the Arctic because ...
Phys.org / Can fighting via text be good for a relationship?
Today, many of our social interactions are routed through technology: text messages, video calls, voice messages, emails and instant messaging apps. In romantic relationships, couples often use these methods to deal with ...
Medical Xpress / Immune barrier may explain why mRNA shots struggle to block nasal infection
A consistent biological barrier that stops the immune system from making the antibodies most needed to protect the nose and throat from respiratory viruses has been identified. The discovery, led by researchers from the University ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's gene map expands to 91 loci, revealing 16 previously unknown risk regions
An international collaboration of genetic researchers has identified more than 90 genetic regions associated with the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The large-scale meta-analysis reveals new biological ...
Phys.org / D&D-seq maps DNA-protein interactions in single cells with multi-omics compatibility
A new technology allows scientists to map, in single cells, the DNA binding sites of transcription factors and other regulatory proteins that control gene activity, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell ...
Phys.org / Majestic manta rays dive deep to survive storm events, data reveal
New research led by the University of the Sunshine Coast has found that reef manta rays are diving deep in storm events to find food and stay alive. As World Environment Day is celebrated around the globe on June 5, the findings ...
Tech Xplore / Battleship-trained AI learns to ask sharper questions, boosting win rate from 8% to 82%
In 2026, the hype for artificial intelligence agents is louder than ever before. These semi-autonomous programs can "think" and execute well-defined tasks in areas like customer service and software development, typically ...
Phys.org / Endangered basking sharks rely on the ocean twilight zone during long-distance migrations
Endangered basking sharks aren't fasting during long-distance migrations. A new study led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution shows that they may be foraging along the way, and in much deeper areas of the ocean than ...
Medical Xpress / Newfound 'switchboard' helps brain form new memories without forgetting older ones
The brain may reuse some cells to store many different memories without mixing them up with or erasing older memories, a new study in mice suggests. Led by NYU Langone Health researchers, the study revealed that about 1 in ...
