Being in space causes aging-like symptoms, such as loss of muscle mass and bone density. New research from the European Space Agency (ESA) dives into the cellular level to find out why this is happening. Although cells in microgravity behave as if they are aging, the key lies in disrupted cellular communication rather than irreversible damage.
Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have developed an innovative method to differentiate dementias. Using industrial dyes that bind to specific tau protein clusters opens the way to early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, offering new hope to patients.
Revolutionary research by MIT engineer Crystal Owens reveals how 'mechanical memory' and residual stress affect the durability of products like gels and creams. A new measurement method using a rheometer promises more stable products and longer-lasting roads, changing the approach to quality control in the industry
The new sPHENIX particle detector at Brookhaven National Laboratory has passed a key precision test. By successfully measuring the collision of gold ions at near-light speeds, sPHENIX proved its willingness to investigate quark-gluon plasma, the exotic state of matter that existed in the first microseconds after the Big Bang.
NASA’s latest SpaceX-33 resupply mission to the ISS brings groundbreaking experiments. Researchers are testing 3D bioprinting of nerve implants and liver tissues, evaluating a drug against bone loss, and advancing metal 3D printing technology — paving the way for future missions and benefiting humanity
The coasts of South Australia have for months been covered by a yellow-green sea caused by the blooming of Karenia mikimotoi algae. Fueled by a record marine heatwave, this phenomenon causes mass fish deaths and threatens the entire marine ecosystem, while also posing a health risk to humans
