For The Better

The transformation between skyrmions and bimerons has now been realized by scientists.

The Subaru Telescope successfully demonstrated engineering first light with a new instrument that will use about 2400 fiberoptic cables to capture the light from heavenly objects. Full operation is scheduled to start around 2024. The ability to observe…

Archeologists have identified one of the largest known sacred buildings of the Etruscans. The temple’s strata offer insights into more than 1000 years of development of one of the most important Etruscan cities. The newly discovered temple is roughly t…

Space missions already use electric propulsion devices, where electromagnetic fields are utilized to generate the thrust of spacecraft. One such electrodeless device, which harnesses radio frequency (rf) to generate plasma and a magnetic nozzle (MN) to…

First insights into engineering crystal growth by atomically precise metal nanoclusters have been achieved in a new study.

The autonomic nervous system is known as the control center for involuntary bodily processes such as the beating of our hearts and our breathing. The fact that this part of the nervous system also has the ability to spontaneously restore muscle functio…

A new study has examined how the dopamine system processes aversive unpleasant events.

New research has shown climate change could alter lightning patterns across Europe.

An international research team has succeeded in significantly narrowing the scope for the existence of dark matter. The experiment makes an important contribution to the search for these particles.

New research has found variable voltages in the membranes of breast cancer cells, revealing clues about how they grow and spread.

Space scientists may need to rethink how gamma-ray bursts are formed after new research shows new-born supramassive stars, not black holes, are sometimes responsible for these huge extragalactic bursts of energy.

Scientists have developed a novel concept of a nose-to-brain system for the clinical application of neuropeptides. They developed a derivative of glucagon-like peptide-2 and found that when administered intranasally, it is efficiently delivered through…

Three different moments in a far-off supernova explosion were captured in a single snapshot by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The star exploded more than 11 billion years ago, when the universe was less than a fifth of its current age of 13.8 billion y…

Computational scientists adopt new framework for making AI models more findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable.
