Researchers have developed a new system for developing gene drives for areas ranging from human health to global food supplies. The new ‘hacking’ system converts split gene drives into full drives, offering new flexibility for safely conducting gene dr…
Researchers compared aging mice that had access to a weighted exercise wheel with mice that had undergone epigenetic reprogramming via the expression of Yamanaka factors. Ultimately, the team determined that exercise promotes a molecular profile consis…
A study shows that global atmospheric dust — microscopic airborne particles from desert dust storms — has a slight overall cooling effect on the planet that has hidden the full amount of warming caused by greenhouse gases. Climate change could accele…
Researchers find that an antimicrobial molecule modifies T-cell-signalling and thus attenuates overshooting immune reactions.

The largest terrestrial carbon sink on Earth is the planet’s soil. One of the big fears is that a warming planet will liberate significant portions of the soil’s carbon, turning it into carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, and so further accelerate the pace of pl…

Recent research shows that magnetic fields can spontaneously emerge in a plasma if the plasma has a temperature anisotropy. This mechanism is known as the Weibel instability. This new research is the first to unambiguously observe the Weibel instabilit…

A new report by artificial intelligence (AI) and foreign policy experts predicts that deepfakes technology is on the brink of being used much more widely, including in targeted military and intelligence operations. The experts make recommendations to s…
