Phys.org / A de-extinction company has hatched live chicks from an artificial eggshell
A biotech company that aims to resurrect lost creatures said Tuesday it has hatched live chicks in an artificial environment—a development that was met with mixed reviews from scientists and critics of its de-extinction mission.
Science X / Seen from Mars, an interstellar visitor looks completely different and changes what astronomers thought they knew
Last fall, a Chinese spacecraft orbiting Mars captured images of a comet from another star system, offering scientists a fresh vantage on a rare visitor.
Phys.org / MeerKAT discovers 15 new millisecond pulsars in a well known globular cluster
Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, an international team of astronomers has discovered 15 new millisecond pulsars in 47 Tucanae—one of the closest and best studied globular clusters. The finding is reported in the latest ...
Medical Xpress / Early warning signs: Poor grip strength linked to greater odds of developing depression
Handgrip strength is the maximum force a person can apply with their hand, and it is often used as a proxy for overall muscular strength, functional capacity, and aging. Scientists have found that it can also be an indicator ...
Phys.org / Chemists use sea sponge bacteria to create new molecules for drug discovery
Florida State University chemists have synthesized new molecules derived from bacteria found in a Pacific Ocean sea sponge, a breakthrough for the future of drug development, particularly for rare forms of cancer.
Phys.org / Migrating charges unlock hard-to-reach C-H bond edits in organic molecules
A team at the University of Vienna, led by chemist Nuno Maulide, has developed a new method for controlling chemical reactions in a more targeted and efficient manner. At the heart of this is the concept of "cation sampling": ...
Science X / Morning coffee may give early Parkinson's brains an unexpected edge where everyday thinking starts to slip
Forgetting familiar faces, struggling to make simple decisions, or taking longer than usual to respond to stimuli are just a few examples of how cognitive decline can appear in everyday moments for many people with Parkinson's ...
Phys.org / TriPcides target MRSA, suppress infection and kill dormant bacteria to open a new front against antibiotic resistance
In a new study, researchers show how so‑called TriPcides can target the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, including antibiotic‑resistant strains such as MRSA. The compounds disrupt the bacteria's ability to cause infection ...
Phys.org / Visualizing sound: Scientists reveal hidden behaviors of sound waves
An international team of scientists has developed a new analysis of how sound waves behave, revealing surprising effects that have largely been overlooked for decades. In the new paper in Scientific Reports, which was led ...
Phys.org / Human cells can exchange genomic DNA that alters cell behavior
Scientists at Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered that large pieces of DNA can transfer directly between human cells, and the DNA can persist and change how the recipient ...
Phys.org / Seaweed study unlocks surprising solution for cattle nutrition and sustainable agriculture
Cows eat grass...everyone knows that. But climate change is forcing producers and scientists to rethink some of our long-held assumptions about livestock nutrition. Crop costs are climbing. Traditional pastures are under ...
Phys.org / AtLAST, a telescope that could reveal the missing half of the universe
A new European-led telescope could map the dusty, hidden half of the universe, all without using fossil fuels. If you have ever seen the Milky Way in the night sky, you probably noticed that it looks cloudy. That is because ...
