Japanese scientists have found that a small change in plant proteins explains why pumpkins and zucchini absorb more pollution than other crops. The proteins help transport toxins through the plant’s sap. By modifying this process, researchers hope to grow vegetables مزید پڑھیں
A newly discovered enzyme motif reveals how ocean microbes are evolving to digest plastic, potentially aiding future cleanup efforts. Hidden in the depths of the ocean, scientists have discovered marine bacteria equipped with enzymes that can consume plastic, their evolution مزید پڑھیں
Researchers discovered a new genetic disorder that interferes with muscle control and movement. The condition, known as Mutation in NAMPT Axonopathy syndrome, damages motor neurons, which are the nerve cells responsible for transmitting signals from the brain and spinal cord مزید پڑھیں

Research shows that adopting a childlike facial expression can make adults feel more connected to their childhood experiences. New research suggests that temporarily changing how people perceive their own bodies can help them recall personal memories, potentially even those from مزید پڑھیں
Universe will end in a “big crunch” roughly 20 billion years from now. The universe is nearing the halfway point of what may be a 33-billion-year lifespan, according to new calculations by a Cornell physicist using updated dark energy data. مزید پڑھیں
Dark matter could explain the mysterious gamma-ray glow at the Milky Way’s center. The findings show that the galaxy’s early mergers may have shaped dark matter in a way that matches NASA’s Fermi telescope observations. A long-standing cosmic mystery is مزید پڑھیں
Research finds that ocean-dwelling fish entered freshwater environments on several occasions, evolving enhanced hearing abilities in the process. When ancient marine fish transitioned from saltwater to freshwater environments, many also developed more complex hearing systems, including middle ear bones that مزید پڑھیں
Ten years after the first detection of gravitational waves, scientists have captured the clearest signal and it confirms one of Stephen Hawking’s most famous predictions. Using the upgraded LIGO detectors, researchers observed two black holes colliding over a billion light-years مزید پڑھیں
Scientists at the University of Maryland have uncovered the genetic key behind a rare wheat variety that produces three grains where ordinary wheat grows just one. The team found that a normally inactive gene, WUSCHEL-D1, becomes active early in flower مزید پڑھیں
