International Discovery co-led by UMass Amherst offers strong potential to address three major global challenges: a growing population, the effects of climate change, and the increasing economic and environmental pressures facing agriculture. Rice cultivation, which supports more than 3.5 billion مزید پڑھیں
Research has overturned decades of uncertainty by showing that Nanotyrannus was a fully grown predator, not a juvenile T. rex. Paleontologists have debated whether the single skull used to define the species Nanotyrannus belonged to a separate dinosaur or represented مزید پڑھیں
A radically miniaturized brain implant called BISC is redefining what’s possible in human–computer interaction, offering a paper-thin, wireless, high-bandwidth link directly to the brain. With over 65,000 electrodes and unprecedented data throughput, it enables advanced AI decoding of thoughts, intentions, مزید پڑھیں
A detailed suite of simulations conducted by astrophysicists at the Flatiron Institute and their collaborators showed that magnetic fields can produce black holes with masses that were previously believed to be mostly unattainable. In 2023, astronomers recorded a dramatic cosmic مزید پڑھیں
Six feet of human DNA crammed into a tiny nucleus relies on an elegant system of nucleosomes, fibers, and highly organized phase-separated condensates. Scientists have now captured the most detailed images yet of how chromatin fibers and nucleosomes arrange themselves مزید پڑھیں
Using the JWST, an international team featuring UNIGE scientists has detected enormous clouds of helium streaming away from the exoplanet WASP-107b. An international collaboration that includes astronomers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the National Centre of Competence in مزید پڑھیں
New research reveals that ancient Mars once hosted vast river drainage systems comparable in scale to some of Earth’s major watersheds. Billions of years ago, rainfall shaped the surface of Mars. Water moved across the landscape and gathered in valleys مزید پڑھیں
A newly identified snake species from the remote Great Nicobar Islands is offering scientists a fresh look at the region’s hidden biodiversity. A newly identified species of wolf snake has been confirmed from the Great Nicobar Islands, India, following years مزید پڑھیں
Coastal ecosystems are being crushed by rising sea levels linked to urbanization. Beaches across the globe are experiencing a form of “crushing,” a process driven by rising sea levels linked to climate change, along with the growing development of coastal مزید پڑھیں
New research indicates that early Martian volcanoes may have emitted reactive sulfur gases that warmed the planet and supported conditions suitable for microbial life. Although scientists are still working to understand what Mars was like in its earliest stages, new مزید پڑھیں
