Are we about to see the unseeable for a second time? Decades of calculations and data show there is a supermassive black hole, about 4 million times more massive than our sun, lurking at the heart of… [+3636 chars]
Our electronics can no longer shrink and are on the verge of overheating. But in a new discovery from the University of Copenhagen, researchers have uncovered a fundamental property of magnetism, whi… [+4576 chars]
Like every solar-panel-powered vehicle on Mars, maintaining electrical power always becomes an issue at some point in the mission. Last week, mission controllers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory lost… [+6197 chars]
EPFL scientists have developed a digital model of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, that realistically simulates the movements of the animal. The twin is a big step towards reverse engineering … [+5569 chars]
When exposed to pathogens, the common lab plant A. thaliana relies on a defense protein called NPR1 to stay healthy (right). Plants that lack NPR1 (left) become infected and develop yellow leaves. Cr… [+4575 chars]
