[ad_1] Space travel was one of the greatest achievements of the last century. In fact, getting humans into space took so much time, effort, dedication and planning. However, there is still so much to learn. Recently, scientists have gained more insight into how space travel specifically affects the body at …

[ad_1] A distant galaxy with almost no dark matter threatened to break our theory of galaxy formation. New evidence suggests the galaxy is not an anomaly, but a victim of a theft. Dark matter – an invisible substance as enigmatic as its name suggests – is a key ingredient in …
Read More »The study that reveals the secret behind a key cellular process refutes biology textbooks
[ad_1] New research has identified and described a cellular process that, despite what the textbooks say, has remained elusive to scientists until now – precisely as the copy of genetic material that, once initiated, is properly deactivated. The discovery concerns a key process essential to life: the transcription stage of …

[ad_1] Brad Shaffer / UCLA Turtles with many genetic variations were much more likely to survive after they moved to a Fish and Wildlife Service site in Nevada. In Nevada’s arid Ivanpah Valley, just southeast of Las Vegas, a massive involuntary animal conservation experiment revealed an unexpected result. From 1997 …

[ad_1] The only dinosaur bones ever found on the island of Ireland have been formally confirmed for the first time by a team of experts from the University of Portsmouth and Queen’s University of Belfast, led by Dr Mike Simms, curator and paleontologist of the National Museums NI. The two …
Read More »Sun model fully confirmed for the first time
[ad_1] The Borexino Experiment research team was able for the first time to detect neutrinos from the sun’s second fusion process, the Carbon Nitrogen Oxygen cycle (CNO cycle). This means that now all theoretical predictions about how energy is generated inside the sun have also been experimentally verified. The findings …

[ad_1] Scientists from EPFL and the Friedrich Miescher Institute used cryo-electron microscopy to explain how a DNA-sensitive biomolecule that is key to our innate immune response is inactivated when it comes into contact with the cell’s DNA. One biomolecule that has garnered considerable attention in recent years is cGAS, a …
Read More »New wheat and barley genomes will help feed the world
[ad_1] An international research collaboration, which includes scientists from the University of Adelaide’s Waite Research Institute, has unlocked a new genetic variation in wheat and barley, a major impetus for the global effort in breeding high-grade wheat and barley varieties. yield. Researchers from the 10+ Wheat Genomes project, led by …
