Harbor porpoises don’t have the luxury of long breaks. They’re small, burn energy fast, and need to eat almost constantly just to keep up with their metabolism.

So when something interferes with their feeding time, it’s not a minor…

Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they can improve rapid medical tests for infectious diseases.

The international research team, led by…

A new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope reveals for the first time the delicate interplay of cosmic dust and stellar winds in the Egg Nebula, a bipolar protoplanetary nebula within the constellation Cygnus.

Abstract

Between 2024 and 2026, FT-IR spectroscopy has transitioned from a largely confirmatory analytical tool to a quantitative, predictive, and process-integrated technology for biopharmaceutical analysis. This review summarizes ten highly…

Life on Earth may exist thanks to an incredible stroke of luck — a chemical sweet spot that most planets miss during their formation but ours managed to hit.

A new study shows that Earth formed under an unusually precise set of chemical…

Scientists investigate the potential of lunar permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) to host an ultrastable optical resonator, a technology poised to revolutionise precision measurements in space. Jun Ye, Zoey Z. Hu, and Ben Lewis from JILA,…

Around 2,700 years ago, a partially cremated woman was buried with a mule — the oldest remains of the hybrid animal ever found in Western Europe, a new study reveals.

The mule and woman were interred inside an ancient rock-lined pit that…

Researchers are tackling the computational burden of simulating left ventricular (LV) mechanics, a crucial aspect of understanding cardiac function and planning interventions. Siyu Mu, Wei Xuan Chan, and Choon Hwai Yap, all from the Department…
