In Nature neuroscienceInvestigators at the UCONN School of Medicine have revealed a new scientific track that could unlock the key cell path that leads to devastating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, and progressive damage to the front and temporal lobes of the brain in frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) and iclerous amyotrophic disease of the associated…
For the first time, researchers have transformed light into a “‘Supersolid”, a strange state of matter that is solid and liquid at the same time. Although scientists have made supersolids with atoms before, this is the first instance of attaching light and subject to create a supersolid and opens new doors to study condensed physics,…
At the beginning of November 2024, I sat with some friends on the steps of the Library of Columbia University, feeling that the sun hit us with our summer shirts and dresses. It was a whopping 70 degrees Fahrenheit outside. “It is not supposed to be so warm,” we all agree. My little sister called…
In the universe very early, there were a large number of quarks, leptones, antiquarks and antileptones of all species. After only a small fraction of a second has elapsed since the Hot Big Bang, most of these antimatter pairs of the subject are annihilated, leaving an excess of very small matter over the antimatter. How…
Seven new guanidine derivatives and a new isolated hypoxantine derivative Abstract Twelve guanidine derivatives (1–12), including seven new compounds (martensiiagms a – g, g, 1–7), a new hypoxantine derivative (martensiiagm h, 13), and 15 known compounds (14–28) were isolated from the whole body of Buthus martensi Karsch and identified by data analysis. Subsequent biological evaluations…
Even during one of the largest mass extinction events on earth, where heat waves kill most of the earth’s species, there was at least one survival oasis. The results suggest that there may have been protection focuses throughout the earth, challenging the notion that heat affected life on the planet uniformly, according to a paper…
Where do you eat when you are a planet armchair called Galactus, the devouring worlds? Whatever please! Galactus is a supervillain of Marvel comics of ultra heavyweight that will be adequately introduced for the first time in the live action in all its glory as the planet as the main antagonist in this summer’s retro-muturist…
Green sea turtles are adjusting their nesting habits in response to rising global temperatures. Individual females are laying their eggs earlier in the season to cope with warmer conditions, researchers report in the February Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Scientists have long known that the sex of most turtle species is determined by incubation…
Young stars are like young children. His energy is often rebellious and can express himself chaotically. In this incredible image, we can see the unbridled energy of two young stars about 650 light years away, since its energetic jets create a different sand watch shape with groups and swirls of gas and dust. Young stars…
Climatewire | The efforts to limit forest fires in a conservative strip in Northern Colorado are the last victim of the freezing of federal expenses of the Trump administration. The coalition for the Poudre river basin earned several million dollars in subsidies during the Biden administration to help reduce the intensity and probability of forest…
