Climate change is a big deal, and ignoring it won't make it go away. Some people, like Bill Gates, have recently suggested that we shouldn't worry too much about it. They say that the concerns are overblown and that we're just being doomsayers. But is that really the case? Let's take a step back an
Comet 3I/ATLAS has sparked a lot of talk, especially among celebrities and a few scientists. It’s not an alien spaceship, but some people still have questions. The comet was first spotted by the ATLAS telescope in Chile back in July. Later, an observatory in South Africa picked up radio signals from
Peptides are like tiny messengers in our bodies. They do a lot of important jobs. They help find new medicines. They fight off germs. They even help proteins talk to each other. Because of this, scientists are very interested in studying them. New tech is making it easier to understand peptides. Co
Alyssa Tapley was just 13 when doctors told her she had a rare form of leukemia and that they had run out of treatment options. But a breakthrough in gene editing, funded by federal grants, saved her life. Today, at 16, she is cancer-free. This success story highlights the importance of university r
A UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville, Kentucky, has left a trail of destruction and unanswered questions. The incident, which occurred early Tuesday evening, resulted in the loss of 13 lives and significant damage to the surrounding area. The plane, bound for Honolulu, was carrying a substantial am
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, led by Mark Zuckerberg and Dr. Priscilla Chan, has shifted its focus to science and artificial intelligence. The organization is now concentrating on A. I. and scientific research, led by a network of research centers called Biohub. It has also acquired the team of an
Medical schools rely heavily on donated human bodies. These bodies are essential for teaching anatomy and surgical skills. Yet, there's a significant gap between the number of bodies needed and those available. Donated bodies help medical students understand the human body. They also allow doctors
Scientists have been puzzling over how to tell male dinosaurs from females for ages. Now, a fresh study from a team in Northern Ireland might have found a clue hidden in some unexpected places: healed fractures in dinosaur tails. These injuries could be the result of rough mating, where male dinosau
Scientists have found a way to make better electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. These electrolytes help batteries work well, even in cold weather. They used computer simulations and AI to test 2604 different electrolyte recipes. The team found that some electrolytes work really well at room temp
Researchers have found a clever way to figure out the best conditions for a magnesium alloy called AZ91D to work well under heat. They used a computer model that mimics the human brain, called an artificial neural network (ANN), to predict how much wear and friction happen when the alloy is tested.
