Physicists sometimes come up with crazy stories that sound like science fiction. Some turn out to be true, like how the curvature of space and time described by Einstein was eventually borne out by a… [+9691 chars]
Genetic mutations are changes in the DNA of an organism that can result from errors made during cell division, viral infections or exposure to radiation and carcinogens. They are essential to evoluti… [+1926 chars]
NASA has confirmed the presence of water molecules in the sunlit areas of the Moon, indicating that water is widely distributed across the lunar surface. A majority of the lunar water is generally b… [+2175 chars]
ByUniversity of CambridgeMay 6, 2022 Researchers have demonstrated that some stress may be good for cells, finding a novel mechanism that may aid in preventing the build-up of protein tangles, which… [+5670 chars]
DNA mutations might be caused by a rather weird, but well-known, quantum mechanism called tunnelling. This challenges the notion that quantum behavior doesn't happen in living cells, and could greatl… [+3545 chars]
The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder helps researchers predict weather, analyze air pollution, monitor volcanoes, and track a changing climate. And there's more. On April 13, a blizzard dropped 4 feet o… [+5494 chars]
