Nanosciences: Genes on the rack

Faced with the thousands of proteins and genes found in virtually every cell in the body, biologists want to know how they all work exactly: How do they interact to carry out their specific functions and how do they respond and adapt to perturbations...

Camera on Mars Orbiter Shows Signs of Latest Mars Lander

on landing-day data. This is within the planned landing area and about 3.3 miles (5.4 kilometers) west of the center of the landing target. A dark spot is larger and elliptical, approximately 50 by 130 fee

Unusual quantum liquid on crystal surface could inspire future electronics

The study, conducted by researchers at Princeton University and the University of Texas-Austin was published Oct. 21, in the journal Science. The study demonstrates that the electrons, when kept at very low temperatures where their quantum behaviors...

Matters of the heart can be puzzling and mysterious -- so too with unusual astronomical objects called heartbeat stars.

MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER VIEWS SCHIAPARELLI LANDING SITE

NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has identified new markings on the surface of the Red Planet that are believed to be related to ESA’s ExoMars Schiaparelli entry, descent and landing technology demonstrator module.

Uranus May Have Two Undiscovered Moons

NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Uranus 30 years ago, but researchers are still making discoveries from the data it gathered then. A new study led by University of Idaho researchers suggests there could be two tiny, previously undiscovered moonlets...
