[ad_1] Jupiter’s icy moon Europa is bombarded by a constant and intense burst of radiation from the gas giant. Different saline compounds on the lunar surface react differently to radiation and emit their unique glow. To the naked eye, this glow would sometimes appear slightly green, sometimes slightly blue or …

[ad_1] Despite advances in sequencing technologies and computational methods over the past decade, researchers have discovered genomes for only a small fraction of the Earth’s microbial diversity. Since most microbes cannot be grown under laboratory conditions, their genomes cannot be sequenced using traditional approaches. Identifying and characterizing the planet’s microbial …

[ad_1] Scientists have developed an optical elastography technique that could revolutionize the accuracy and ease with which healthcare professionals can detect biomechanical changes in cells and tissues. A study derived from an international collaboration between the University of Exeter, the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the University of Perugia (Italy) …

[ad_1] Our planet’s coral reef ecosystems are under threat from multiple threats. Anthropogenic CO2 triggered a rise in global mean sea surface temperatures, pushing coral reef survival beyond its upper thermal limits. Coastal development from industry, aquaculture and infrastructure generates sedimentation and increased turbidity in coastal waters, which increases levels …
