After a devastating childhood earthquake in the Gujarat region of her home country of India, Jyoti Sharma often thought about creating an early earthquake warning system.
Un equipo de astrónomos descubrió una pareja de cuásares en fusión que bate todos los récords, ya que no sólo se trata de la más distante detectada hasta ahora, sino también del único par de este tipo que se encuentra en una de las épocas más tempranas del Universo. El hallazgo fue posible con la ayuda del poderoso instrumento GNIRS que se encuentra instalado en el telescopio de Gemini Norte, la mitad boreal del Observatorio Internacional Gemini, financiado en parte por la Fundación Nacional de Ciencias de Estados Unidos y operado por NOIRLab de NSF.
With the help of the powerful GNIRS instrument on the Gemini North telescope, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, supported in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation and operated by NSF NOIRLab, a team of astronomers have discovered a double-record-breaking pair of quasars.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has provided a new view of the Crab, including the highest-quality infrared data yet available to aid scientists as they explore the detailed structure and chemical composition of the remnant. These clues are helping to unravel the unusual way that the star exploded about 1,000 years ago.
A team of researchers have demonstrated a new method that leverages AI and computer simulations to train robotic exoskeletons that can help users save energy while walking, running, and climbing stairs.
Young actor Mckenna Grace stepped out of the spotlight to pay a visit to Cedars-Sinai Guerin Children’s, spreading joy, smiles and a wagon full of gifts to the young patients.
The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters announced the 2024 Kavli Prize Laureates, recognizing groundbreaking science for the discovery and characterization of extra-solar planets and their atmospheres; foundational research integrating synthetic nanoscale materials for biomedical use; and the localization of areas in the brain specialized for face recognition and processing.
The hearts of pregnant rats with high blood pressure increase in size more than rats experiencing a normal pregnancy, according to new computer model predictions.
Restricting menthol flavor in cigarettes while making nicotine replacement therapy, such as a skin patch that can help ease withdrawal, more available and affordable has the potential to reduce socioeconomic disparities in tobacco use.
An acoustic transmitter – or tag – emits unique signals or “pings” when scientists want to study the long-distance movement of marine animals. However, this method has limitations. Using a pioneering movement model, researchers reconstructed animal tracks and leveraged an iterative process to measure the accuracy and precision of these reconstructions from acoustic telemetry data.
Little is yet known about the health effects of nanoparticles on pregnancy. An interdisciplinary team led by Empa researchers is currently analyzing the risks for babies in the womb. Using a lab model, the researchers were able to determine that certain nanoparticles impair the release of chemical messengers in the placenta and thus the formation of blood vessels. They published their findings in the journal Advanced Science.
Australian scientists are getting closer to detecting bushfires in record time, thanks to cube satellites with onboard AI now able to detect fires from space 500 times faster than traditional on-ground processing of imagery.
Inside of Science Hall at Canisius University sits the Institute of Autism Research, also known as the IAR. The institute's work is dedicated to understanding autism and helping individuals and families affected by autism.
Vita Rose Carletti made her grand entry into the world on Jan. 7, 2024, after her mother, Krista Hazelwood, went through an arduous 36-hour labor that ended in an emergency cesarean section.
Researchers at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center and the IU School of Medicine have discovered that Black patients with breast cancer who are treated with a chemotherapy called docetaxel experience less of a harmful side effect called peripheral neuropathy. Their findings represent an important shift in knowledge about a patient population who've historically been underrepresented in breast cancer research.
Momentum for manufacturing innovation in the United States got a boost during the inaugural MDF Innovation Days, held recently at the U.S. Department of Energy Manufacturing Demonstration Facility, or MDF, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
For over a half-century, medical students at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School have been helping the citizens of Newark improve their health and quality of life. Recently, the medical school opened its doors to the community it serves for an exchange of ideas to take this service to the next level.
Argonne’s Aurora supercomputer represents a leap forward in scientific research. Offering unprecedented speed and power, advanced hardware, and AI capabilities, Aurora ushers in a new era of supercomputing to revolutionize the way scientists conduct research and achieve breakthroughs.
