New imaging techniques developed at Washington University in St. Louis have allowed researchers to peer into mysterious cellular structures with unprecedented clarity, revealing that the tiny blobs inside our cells behave less like liquid droplets and more like a malleable, shifting network similar to silly putty. These microscopic structures, known as biomolecular condensates, play crucial…

The Amazon rainforest is being transformed by human influence Lynsey Addario/Getty Images There is almost no ecosystem on Earth left untouched by human activity, according to new research that suggests widespread change from pollution, wildlife extinctions and disruption to plant life is pushing the planet into uncharted territory. “We have shifted the system to conditions…
Researchers who were curious about when ancient Europeans travelled to Africa followed the DNA. The route they discovered didn’t just track migration — it revealed pockets of resistance to the Neolithic revolution, as well as signs of sea-faring derring-do. A Societal Shift During that period, starting around 12,000 years ago, societies started shifting from hunter-gatherers…
When it comes to space travel, Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity is a major inconvenience. With the laws of physics (currently) prohibiting faster-than-light travel, velocities are limited to a mere 300,000,000 ms-1. By any Earthbound measure that’s very quick indeed, but it’ll still take you 4.2 years to reach our sun’s nearest neighbor, Proxima Centauri….
Young stars are like young kids. Their energy is often unruly and can express itself chaotically. In this incredible image, we can see the unrestrained energy of two young stars about 650 light-years away as their energetic jets create a distinct hourglass shape with clumps and swirls of gas and dust. Young stars grow by…
For thousands of people struggling with debilitating skin symptoms after stopping topical steroid treatments, a new study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) offers both validation and hope. Researchers have not only identified a distinct biological mechanism behind “topical steroid withdrawal” (TSW), but have also found two readily available medications that may help treat…
For Quantum Computing, Pressing the Advantage Is a Risky Proposition D-Wave’s fresh claim that it has achieved “quantum advantage” has sparked criticism of the company—and of the scientific process itself By Lee Billings edited by Dean Visser D-Wave, a Palo Alto, Calif.–based technology firm, made a scientific and stock-market splash on Wednesday with its declaration…
