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
The Milky Way ripples like a vast cosmic wave. Gaia’s precise measurements reveal a colossal motion sweeping through the galaxy’s disc, an echo of something mysterious in our galaxy’s ancient past. The Milky Way is anything but static. It rotates مزید پڑھیں
Geologic clues reveal a hidden link between two major faults. A Cascadia quake might set the San Andreas in motion soon after. When the tectonic subduction zone beneath the Pacific Northwest shifts, it does so violently. A magnitude 9+ earthquake مزید پڑھیں
The process builds a gel scaffold that is later infused with metal salts and converted into nanoparticles, then heated to reveal the final solid form. The resulting materials are stronger and less prone to warping than those made with traditional مزید پڑھیں
Astronomers studying the supermassive black hole M87*, a behemoth six and a half billion times the mass of the Sun, have uncovered a new way these cosmic monsters unleash their power. Using cutting-edge simulations, scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt revealed مزید پڑھیں
Engineers developed an artificial neuron that behaves strikingly like its natural counterpart. The breakthrough builds on earlier research in which the team created protein nanowires from electricity-producing bacteria. Their new discovery suggests the possibility of designing computers that are far مزید پڑھیں
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have become public enemy number one in nutrition debates. From dementia to obesity and an epidemic of “food addiction”, these factory-made products, including crisps, ready meals, fizzy drinks and packaged snacks, are blamed for a wide range مزید پڑھیں
Scientists dated dinosaur eggs directly for the first time, placing them at 85 million years old. The findings link climate cooling to evolutionary pressures that may have doomed some species. During the Cretaceous period, Earth experienced intense volcanic eruptions, widespread مزید پڑھیں
