Researchers from Rutgers University have discovered a new way in which matter can exist. Dubbed a “Quantum Liquid Crystal,” this previously unknown quantum state expands researchers’ understanding of how matter can exist beyond the three traditional states.
New studies show that astrocytes, also known as support cells or “silent cells,” have a larger impact on brain function than previously assumed.
Despite potatoes being a staple food ever since they were cultivated, their actual origins remained unknown even to the farmers who grew them—until now.
For the first time, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has glimpsed the hidden exploits of dormant black holes. In clearer galaxies, these are typically observed by tidal disruption events (TDEs): cases where a galaxy’s central supermassive black hole gradually pulls in and tears a nearby star apart, releasing an intense surge of energy.
Final exams are an unavoidable part of many college students’ semesters. While the debate surrounding their existence may never end, it is objectively true that final exams can do their job well – as long as they are executed correctly.
Thousands of families worldwide now have new hope: researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators have identified mutations in a small non-coding gene, RNU2-2, as a previously unrecognized cause of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs).
Increased protein consumption helps to maximize muscle growth. But research does suggest that eating protein at a certain time can make a difference.
A drug, known for heavy-metal poisoning, may also be used as a treatment against snakebites.
Snakebite envenoming causes 138,000 deaths annually, and around 400,000 victims face permanent disabilities.
In May 2020, astronomers observed a planetary engulfment for the first time that they believed was caused by a star expanding to become a red giant–swallowing an orbiting planet in the process.
