Researchers used quantum capacitance to read information from Majorana qubits, overcoming a key challenge in quantum computing by detecting their distributed, protected state.
Researchers identified cancer-specific small RNAs called oncRNAs across 32 cancer types. These molecules act as biomarkers and some drive tumor growth. Detected in blood, oncRNA levels after chemotherapy predicted survival in breast cancer patients, offering a new monitoring approach.
Contrary to expectations, species turnover in ecosystems has slowed, not accelerated, with global warming. This suggests biodiversity loss is hindering natural ecological dynamics.
Scientists use CRISPR gene editing to create a system that spreads through bacteria, disabling antibiotic resistance genes and restoring drug sensitivity, even in tough biofilms.
A new dinosaur species, Haolong dongi, discovered in China has 125-million-year-old preserved skin with unique hollow spikes, a feature never seen before in dinosaurs.
NASA launched two rocket missions from Alaska to study the electrical forces behind auroras. The GNEISS mission used two rockets to create a 3D scan of auroral currents, while another studied dark patches within the lights.
Scientists found a fast-spinning pulsar near our galaxy's central black hole. If confirmed, its precise pulses could test Einstein's gravity theory under extreme conditions.
Ancient DNA reveals a rare genetic growth disorder in two 12,000-year-old related females buried together in Italy, showing rare diseases existed in prehistoric times.
Study finds bananas grown in soil contaminated by 2015 Brazilian dam collapse may pose health risks to young children due to elevated lead and cadmium levels.
Three approved drugs—a shingles vaccine, Viagra, and riluzole—show promise for repurposing to treat or prevent Alzheimer's, offering a faster, safer path than developing new medications.
NOAA data initially suggested Northern Hemisphere autumn snow cover was growing, but a new study finds it's actually shrinking due to improved satellite detection creating a false trend. This confirms snow loss is accelerating Arctic warming.
