Pocket-sized models of ALS may pave the way for new treatments
Scientists have invented a pocket-sized model of the most common form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). “Chip disease,” created using stem cells, could pave the way for new treatments for progressive conditions, researchers say. In ALS, brain and spinal cord cells that control spontaneous muscle movements (known as motor neurons) break and die. As a […]
James Webb’s telescope reveals the galaxy of “Sleeping Beauty” in early universe – dozing out where they weren’t supposed to exist
Astronomers have discovered more than dozens of “dormant” galaxies that paused star formation within the first billion years of the Big Bang. Discoveries made with James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) data can illuminate the fascinating stages of early galaxy life and provide more clues about galaxy evolution. There are several reasons why galaxies stop forming […]
Why does the shark freeze when it is turned upside down?
Sharks can become formidable predators, but when turned upside down, many species enter a trance-like state known as tonic immobilization, and are powerless like beetles on their backs. The immobility of tonics is “close to hypnotizing sharks as much as you can get!” Joel Gayford, a doctoral candidate in marine ecology at James Cook University […]
The first video of earthquake fault cracking revealed another surprise
First fault failure ever filmed: M7.9 surface failure photographed near Taji, Myanmar – YouTube Please take a look The first video showing cracks in the ground during a major earthquake is even more pronounced than previously thought. It not only captures ground motion that has never been caught up in video before, but also shows […]
Scientists discover the changes in the polar vortex that plunges our parts into deep freeze
Although global temperatures are warmer, the Northern Hemisphere winters are still marked by cold snaps and extreme snowfall events. Sometimes it caused more than $1 billion in damages, including the deep 2021 freeze in Texas and Oklahoma. Now, new research suggests that these extreme extremes are due to an increasingly common pattern of polar zones, […]
Tubal residents are prepared for the world’s first planned national migration – and climate change is responsible
More than 5,000 people have applied for their first attribute transition visa to help Pacific Island residents escape the worst effects of climate change. Applications for Visa were opened to Tuvalu people on June 16th and ended today (July 18th). Under these conditions, 280 Tuvaluans can move to Australia annually through the voting system. Four […]
In the first universe, astronomers find the exact moment when a new planetary system is born around an alien star
For the first time, scientists have captured incredible images of the alien star system that was born. According to the statement, the image shows a very early moment in the planetary layer, where hot minerals just began to solidify around distant stars. The researchers published their findings in the Nature Journal on July 16th. The […]
Earth’s magnetic field is weakening — magnetic crystals from lost civilizations could hold the key to understanding why
In 2008, Erez Ben-Yosef unearthed a piece of Iron Age “trash” and inadvertently revealed the strongest magnetic-field anomaly ever found. Ben-Yosef, an archaeologist at Tel Aviv University, had been working in southern Jordan with Ron Shaar, who was analyzing archaeological materials around the Levant. Shaar, a geologist at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, was building […]
Endurance athletes carrying Neanderthal genes may be able to be restricted from reaching their peak
Scientists have discovered genetic variants inherited from Neanderthals that could limit motor skills. Mutations affect about 8% of modern Europeans and affect the activity of important enzymes in the production of skeletal muscle energy. In a study published July 10th in Journal Nature Communications, researchers analyzed more than 2,700 individuals. This could reduce the chances […]
Mysterious migraine after heart surgery may finally be explained
After a common cardiac surgery, some patients experience migraines with visual auras – temporary vision disorders such as flashing lights and zigzag lines. The reason for this unusual complication was a mystery, but now research suggests that a brain clot could be the culprit. “these [clots] Co-authors of Gregory Marcus, a cardiologist at the University […]
