Artemis II Earthset Photo Recalls 1968 Earthrise
NASA's Artemis II crew captured a stunning Earthset image during their April 6 lunar flyby, prompting comparisons to the iconic 1968 Apollo 8 Earthrise and renewed discussion of how space photography
Arsenic MOF lifts rhodium yield past 95%
Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin built an arsenic-lined metal-organic framework that locks rhodium catalysts in place, achieving over 95% aldehyde yield in hydroformylation while keepi
Scientists capture recluse spider toxin killing cells
Researchers have captured the first crystal structure of a recluse-family spider toxin bound to its target on human cell surfaces, revealing exactly how the enzyme clips membrane molecules into ring s
250M-Year-Old Embryo Confirms Therapsids Laid Eggs
Scientists confirmed the first known therapsid embryo inside a 250-million-year-old fossilized egg, proving that the mammal ancestors that survived Earth's worst mass extinction laid eggs rather than
Japanese X‑ray Mirror Tested, Flies on FOXSI‑4
Japanese researchers have created a high‑resolution X‑ray telescope mirror that can resolve a 3.5 mm object from a kilometer away, successfully tested on the ground and deployed on the FOXSI‑4 soundin
JAXA Plans 2048 Comet Sample Return Mission
JAXA is studying a next-generation mission to land on comet 289P/Blanpain, blast a crater, and return pristine subsurface samples to Earth by 2048 in search of pre-solar organic materials and clues to
Bender's Cave Ice Age Giants Rewrite Edwards Plateau
Researchers exploring Bender's Cave in Comal County, Texas, recovered Ice Age megafauna fossils including giant tortoise and pampathere — warm-climate species never before documented on the Edwards Pl
JWST Finds HeII & H Emission from Hebe, Pop III Stars
Astronomers have identified helium and hydrogen emission lines from the companion object Hebe near GN‑z11, providing the most compelling observational evidence to date of metal‑free Population III sta
78 ancient Korean genomes reveal Silla consanguineous marriage
A genome-wide DNA study of 78 individuals from a 1,500-year-old Silla Kingdom burial site in Gyeongsan reveals dense kinship networks and consanguineous marriage among both elites and sacrificial vict
KAIST Electrode Hits 86% CO₂-to-Ethylene Selectivity
KAIST researchers developed a three-layer silver nanowire electrode that achieves 86% selectivity for converting CO₂ into multi-carbon plastic precursors like ethylene, while preventing the electrolyt
ERG11 Mutations Cause Miconazole Resistance in Yeast
A University of Illinois study reveals that mutations in the ERG11 gene of the yeast Malassezia pachydermatis make it resistant to the frontline antifungal miconazole, prompting new treatment guidelin
Orpheus Mars Hopper Targets Volcanic Vents for Life
The SETI Institute's proposed Orpheus VTOL hopper would explore volcanic vents in Mars's Cerberus Fossae — among the youngest, most active volcanic terrain on the planet — searching for extant microbi
PAM Gene Variants Cut Ozempic Response in 10%
Stanford-led researchers identified a genetic form of 'GLP-1 resistance' tied to PAM gene variants, explaining why diabetes drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy work poorly for roughly 10% of patients who ca
Army Vet Runs Psilocybin Retreats as States Outpace FDA
Army ranger Jesse Gould's Heroic Hearts Project has hosted more than 1,500 veterans at psilocybin and ayahuasca retreats for PTSD, positioning itself at the front of a state-level legalization push ra
BRIDGE Project Targets Immune Escape in Breast Cancer
A new Portuguese research initiative called BRIDGE will study how aggressive breast cancers evade the immune system, aiming to identify biomarkers that predict disease progression and enable personali
Scripps nanodisc platform reveals HIV & Ebola epitopes
A nanodisc platform that mimics viral membranes uncovers hidden antibody interactions in HIV and Ebola, revealing membrane‑proximal epitopes missed by traditional assays and accelerating vaccine candi
Artemis II Crew Completes 10‑Day Flight, Returns Bump
Artemis II’s four‑person crew completed a ten‑day orbital flight in a capsule the size of a family tent and came back to Earth with a literal re‑entry bump, demonstrating their ability to survive in e
