Scientists have detected the most powerful cosmic ray seen in more than three decades. But the exact origin of this turbocharged particle from outer space remains a mystery, with some suggesting that it could have been generated by unknown physics....
Haemoglobin is a key component of red blood cells, and transports oxygen across the body. However, a team led by Dr Feng Zhang and Dr Quiang Sun has discovered haemoglobin bodies (‘hedies’) in cartilage chondrocytes. They also saw that hedies are essential for chondrocyte survival, and that they store and release oxygen as...
Rich, high-fat foods such as ice cream are loved not only for their taste, but also for the physical sensations they produce in the mouth — their ‘mouthfeel’. Now scientists have identified a brain area that both responds to the smooth texture of fatty foods and uses that information to rate the morsel’s allure, guiding...
Startups are harnessing the fast-growing “roots" of mushrooms for sustainable alternatives to leather, packaging, building materials, and meat. Mycelium’s versatility makes it a prime candidate to displace many harmful mainstream materials — especially for a more conscious future. However, scaling production and costs...
Scientists Use CRISPR to Make Chickens More Resistant to Bird Flu. Avian flu has killed countless farmed and wild birds. Scientists worry that it could acquire mutations that help it spread more easily among humans, potentially setting off a pandemic. This new study highlights both the promise and the limitations of gene editing
This famously complex experiment gets explained simply
Low-emissions strategy that could pay for itself helps scientists achieve high-yield hydrogen gas and high-value graphene.
World Community Grid is a volunteer computing project where people can donate their computer’s spare computational power to science (similar to folding@home). This week they announced some results of their research and having passed the 800,000 CPU-year mark which is pretty incredible....
