Dubbed the ‘guardian of the genome’, the p53 protein responds to DNA damage by stalling cell division, initiating DNA repair or triggering cell death. This well-known pathway is frequently mutated or ...

A Mediterranean moth was confirmed as a new species through DNA testing. It now bears the name Carcina ingridmariae. A ...

Before temperatures began to rise, Dissacus had a diet similar to that of modern cheetahs, focused mainly on eating meat. But ...

Mysterious red galaxies from the universe’s dawn may trace back to rare, slow-spinning dark matter halos, creating extreme conditions that sparked rapid star or black hole growth.

Penn State astronomers are using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, combined with theoretical models, to investigate a distant, radiation-bathed protoplanetary disk. The basic ingredients ...

AI helped uncover a one-of-a-kind stellar explosion, where a black hole may have triggered or destroyed its companion star. Astronomers using an AI-powered system led by UC Santa Cruz caught a rare ...

By splitting a single photon, scientists confirmed that angular momentum is always conserved — a billion-to-one experiment that reinforces the foundations of quantum physics.

By the end of the century, waves driven by rising seas could crash into Rapa Nui’s most sacred shoreline, flooding Ahu Tongariki and threatening dozens of other cultural treasures.

Gold was superheated to 19,000 Kelvin without melting, defying physics and unlocking new possibilities in high-energy research.

A breakthrough in spintronics reveals that material defects can be harnessed to boost device efficiency, overturning decades of assumptions. Scientists have discovered a way to transform what was once ...
