  • 12,000-year-old case of super rare genetic disease confirmed in new study

    12,000-year-old case of super rare genetic disease confirmed in new study

    Researchers identified the earliest case of a genetic disease with the help of DNA: a mother and child buried together in southern Italy 12,000 years ago both exhibited signs of possessing a rare genetic disease, highlighting the deep history of…

    Taking the heat out of industrial chemical separations

    The modern world runs on chemicals and fuels that require a huge amount of energy to produce: Industrial chemical separation accounts for 10% to 15% of the world’s total energy consumption. That’s because most separations today rely on heat to…

  • Scientists finally have explanation for the missing planets of tight binary stars

    Scientists finally have explanation for the missing planets of tight binary stars

    Astronomers have long faced a strange contradiction: most stars are born in pairs, and most stars have planets, so logically, planets orbiting two stars at once should be common. However, in reality, planets orbiting binary stars are…

    Supercomputer simulations reveal how to keep hydrogen flames stable

    Solar panels and wind turbines increasingly dot the landscape, but the future of clean energy may well depend on how smoothly we burn hydrogen. Yet as anyone who’s lit a gas grill or fireplace knows, igniting a flame can be a bit tricky. Imagine…
