Recently, a survey was conducted to understand how researchers in psychology and law view open science. This survey aimed to answer four key questions. First, it explored how these researchers define open science. Second, it delved into their perceptions of open science. Third, it investigated how f
Imagine if we could watch electrons zoom past in real time. Attosecond science is making that possible, with super-fast laser pulses that shine light on matter for billionths of a billionth of a second! This isn't just cool to watch—it could revolutionize how we solve problems, harness solar power,
Imagine if we could turn the clock back and bring extinct animals like the woolly mammoth, dodo, or Tasmanian tiger back to life. That's exactly what Colossal Biosciences, a pioneering company, is aiming to do. Unlike the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park, " these creatures disappeared much more recently.
Imagine you're in a classroom, and the teacher is saying one thing, but the kids sitting at the front are giving you totally different ideas. That's kind of like what's happening with Trump's science advisors. When Trump started his second term, he picked a few experts to help him with science stuf
Ever wondered how political leanings affect how people trust science? Researchers looked into this across 10 European countries and found some interesting patterns. They discovered that people who vote for populist parties tend to distrust the system and its leaders, which leads them to be skeptical
Leonardo da Vinci, the renowned artist, was also an amazing scientist. He explored many fields, including anatomy. Back in his time, people didn't understand the human body very well, but Leo was curious and made detailed drawings. He was a pioneer, figuring out the inner workings of the body long b
Ever thought about the tiny critters in soil that help plants grow? We're talking about microbes, and they love nitrogen (N)! Scientists have a nifty tool called qSIP to see which microbes are using N. Usually, this is done in a lab. But what about in the real world? Two sites were picked to compare
Last summer, something incredible happened near Joe Velaidum's home in Marshfield, Canada. While out for a walk with his dogs, a tiny delay saved him from a close encounter with a meteorite. He had stopped to move a dog leash, which was unusual. Little did he know, a space rock was headed his way. T
It's been a while since the last episode of Severance, and with Season 2 starting tonight on Apple TV+, let's refresh our memories. In this sci-fi drama, the Lumon corporation uses a brain chip to split workers into "outies" and "innies". Outies live normal lives while innies work tirelessly, knowin
In recent years, robots have become common helpers in spine surgery. Doctors use them to make operations more precise and safer. The 7th and 8th Annual Seattle Science Foundation (SSF) Robotics Courses gathered experts to talk about and show off the latest robotics and surgery techniques. These incl
