The world inside a cell is complex. It is filled with tiny parts called RNA and proteins. These parts work together in ways that are crucial for life. Scientists have long wanted to understand how these parts interact. This is not easy. Traditional methods often use a process called crosslinking. Th
The world of plant enzymes is vast and often overlooked. One such enzyme, a beta-xylosidase from rice, has caught the eye of researchers. This enzyme, named OsXyl1, is part of a group called glycoside hydrolase family 3. It was produced in a different organism, Pichia pastoris, to study its properti
Puerto Rico faced a major blackout, leaving 1. 4 million people without electricity and over 400, 000 without water. This was the second big outage since New Year’s Eve, when 90% of the island lost power. The latest blackout started at 12:38 p. m. on Wednesday, when key power plants shut down due to

A recent event highlighted the risks of relying too heavily on AI. A developer using the popular AI-powered code editor Cursor encountered a peculiar issue. Switching between different devices logged them out instantly. This was a major inconvenience for programmers who often use multiple devices. W
A huge leap in the complexity of life happened around 2. 6 billion years ago. This is when eukaryotic cells first appeared. These cells are the building blocks of plants, animals, and fungi. They are way more complex than the simpler prokaryotic cells that came before them. The journey to this big
The 90s are making a comeback, and so is Cher Horowitz. Alicia Silverstone is set to bring back her iconic role from the 1995 film "Clueless" in a new series for Peacock. This isn't just a random idea; it's a full-fledged project in development. The details are hush-hush, but it's clear that this se
Non-Newtonian fluids are becoming more popular in various engineering fields. These fluids do not follow the usual rules of fluid behavior. They can be thick or thin depending on the situation. One type of non-Newtonian fluid is the Oldroyd-B fluid. It can mimic the behavior of many dilute polymeric
Heart failure is a serious condition that affects many people. In a recent study, researchers looked at how well patients with chronic heart failure in Kermanshah, West Iran, take care of themselves. The study involved 597 patients, both men and women, who visited a local hospital in 2022. The rese
Game theory is a fascinating field that explores how different strategies play out in competitive situations. One key concept is the Evolutionarily Stable Strategy (ESS). This is a strategy that, if adopted by a population, cannot be invaded by any alternative strategy. It's like having a superpower
