The tragedy of five women trapped in a burning building spurred John T Scurlock to create a life-saving inflatable cushion for safer landings from great heights.

The survey shows a significant divide between scientific sleuths, who report breaches of research integrity, and integrity officers, who investigate allegations at institutions.

Targeted alpha therapy is a precise cancer-fighting tool that works like a tiny, guided missile aimed at cancer cells in the patient's body.

Gen. Michael Guetlein identified command-and-control and the development of space-based interceptors as two of the most pressing technical challenges for Golden Dome. He believes the command-and-control problem can be 'overcome in pretty short order.' The space-based interceptor piece of the architecture is a different story.

By leveraging DoE land assets for the deployment of AI and energy infrastructure, we are taking a bold step to accelerate the next Manhattan Project - ensuring US AI and energy leadership.

In the research, scientists observed a mysterious nitrogen isotope in Neanderthal bones at extreme levels typical of mega-meat-eaters like hyenas, suggesting unique food preparation methods involving decomposed meat.

A new test developed by WorldTour nutritionists quantifies the rate of exogenous carbohydrate oxidation, allowing athletes to understand their carbohydrate needs during exercise.

Investigators led by Navdeep Chandel, PhD, have demonstrated that mitochondrial metabolism is crucial for T-cell proliferation and the prevention of T-cell exhaustion in cancer and chronic infection.

"How the brain supports the emergence of creative ideas has long been considered one of the most enigmatic phenomena in cognitive neuroscience."

Salvia Divinorum is recognized as one of the most powerful hallucinogenic plants, containing the active molecule Salvinorin-A, which has garnered attention in neurobiology research.

The arrangement of galaxies in the cosmic web may look haphazard, but it's ordered in its own way, structured with vast walls and voids between them.

Researchers analyzed the birthing records of over 58,000 women from the Nurses' Health Study spanning nearly 150,000 pregnancies from 1956 to 2015.

Tens of thousands of people bleed to death each year in the United States before they can get to a hospital due to a lack of accessible blood supplies.

The Barbados threadsnake, discovered under a rock in March, can grow to 9 to 10 cm and is as thin as a strand of spaghetti. It had been feared extinct for 20 years and was previously on a global list of 4,800 species lost to science.

The carefully arranged severed pieces of the teenage girl's body were positioned to create an illusion of completeness, suggesting a deeper ritualistic significance in burial practices.

"Anything that you don't have time to double-check is unreliable. It hallucinates confidently."

J.D.L. worked on theoretical calculations, computational aspects and simulations, contributing significantly to the research on wormhole dynamics and validation processes.

A new study suggests that gold can be superheated far beyond its melting point without it becoming a liquid. Using an intense burst from a laser, a team heated a gold foil to 14 times its melting point, far beyond a theoretical limit put forward in previous studies.

"We were hoping to verify predictions we made based on fundamental physics understanding we had developed, as well as computational tools we used to predict what can happen in the real world."

Researchers found that children in areas without formal schooling demonstrated significantly lower levels of executive functions compared to their schooled peers, suggesting education shapes cognitive development.

"Earning SBTi validation is not only a proud moment for Ogury, but also a clear signal of our long-term ambition," said Cindy Christodoulou, Senior Director at Ogury. "As a pioneer in privacy-first, data-fuelled advertising, we believe innovation must go hand in hand with responsibility."

"Dancing molecules," the promising new treatment for acute spinal cord injuries developed at Northwestern University, has received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

T-Mobile's satellite service called T-Satellite allows text messaging and location sharing, officially rolling out across the US for both T-Mobile and non-T-Mobile customers.

The majority of brain diseases need new therapies, as current small molecules often lack selectivity, leading to side effects. Antibodies, while specific, have limited brain penetration.

The SKA-Low team built a prototype instrument called EDA2 and ran some tests, finding over 112,000 signals from 1,506 different Starlink satellites, significantly stronger than target signals.

Large-scale genome-wide association studies have identified many complex trait loci related to autoimmune, metabolic, and infectious diseases, yet assigning function to non-coding variants remains challenging.

Each year, 263 million people get malaria. But from the parasite's perspective, infecting humans is harder than you might think, and requires completing an epic journey within the tiny body of a mosquito. The change effectively rendered laboratory mosquitoes highly resistant to spreading malaria, researchers report Wednesday in Nature.

In a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, nuclear transmutation is proposed as a method to change elements, enabling the synthesis of gold particles from mercury.

Long-read sequencing (LRS) technologies have been pivotal in the human genome's completion, enhancing sensitivity for detecting structural variants and assembling haplotypes effectively.

'There is no way, I just found, please be whole, oh my God!' This emotional response captures the excitement of discovering such an extraordinary fossil.

The hybrid drone represents a fascinating approach to multi-environment robotics, where a single device can operate effectively in two completely different mediums.

Research into fission chain reactions provides insights into early Earth processes, raising important questions about the nature and consequences of such reactions billions of years ago.

"This is the first time, as far as I know, that anybody has done anything like this - generate a structure that has the properties of life from something, which is completely homogeneous at the chemical level and devoid of any similarity to natural life."

NINJ1 is essential for cells to break open during certain cell death processes. This membrane protein reacts to mechanical stress which leads to cell rupture.

Researchers are taught to write research papers referencing positive advances, so null results are rarely cited. That means that even if null results are published, they won't have an impact.
