A new nanotube-based RNA delivery system boosts plant regeneration by switching off a molecule that blocks shoot growth, without changing the plant’s DNA.
Just as overlapping ripples on a pond can amplify or cancel each other out, waves of many kinds — including light, sound and atomic vibrations — can interfere with one another. At the quantum level, this kind of interference powers…
Kagome metals, known for their distinctive two-dimensional lattices formed by corner-sharing triangles, have drawn significant attention in condensed matter physics due to their unique electronic properties.
Recent theoretical predictions…
Nature has once again proven to be an efficient designer, showing time and…
The people of the ancient Incan empire kept careful records of their economics, religion, demographics and history. Those records took the form of knotted cords called khipus.
Until now, researchers believed that the only people who knew how…
Imagine plucking a guitar string. It vibrates, the sound lingers, and then fades away as the energy drains into the air. Now bring this scene down to the scale of an atom. Can an atom vibrate in the same way, gradually losing energy to its…
Chinese researchers from Tianjin University’s school of materials science have reportedly developed a new lithium metal battery with an energy density of 600 Wh/kg. If claims are true, this would make the battery around twice the density of…
Archaeologists working in the Gulf of Naples have discovered the first physical evidence of what could be a bathhouse belonging to the famed Roman orator and politician Cicero.
The find was made about 10 feet underwater in the submerged…
When looking up on a cloudless night, do you notice that stars can sometimes show as different colors? You may even notice yellow, red, orange, and blue stars — not just white.
A star’s color can range from yellow to blue, but you’ll never…
People tell me I look younger than I am. But as flattering as that is, my appearance isn’t that important to me. Well, not compared to my biological age, anyway.
Representing how well your body functions, your biological age gives a more…
