Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can reduce inflammation, repair damaged tissue, and modulate the immune system, with potential to treat chronic diseases and delay ageing.

The chances that no three sticks can form a triangle are connected to the Fibonacci sequence, illustrating a surprising relationship between geometry and nature.

Dr. Hugh Carter hopes the preserved Antarctic urchins collected over a century ago will illuminate how modern environmental changes are impacting marine life.

Casasanto stated, "We found the same pattern you always find in righties, whose left hemispheres are specialized for high-frequency visual perception - and the exact opposite in lefties." This indicates a clear distinction of visual processing based on hand dominance.

The charge coupled device (CCD) was invented by George E. Smith and Willard Boyle during a brainstorming session at Bell Labs in October 1969, stemming from their goal to design a memory device.

Lasers, invented in 1958, allow for the production of truly monochromatic light through stimulated emission, achieving specific wavelengths and building photon density in a cavity.

The study published in Nature describes a statistical method used to identify at least 30 parent-of-origin effects in 14 genes, demonstrating genetic variation between maternal and paternal inheritance.

Drones that map disaster zones and scout military targets exemplify dual-use technologies that cater to both civilian and military purposes. Upcoming European Commission funding will support such innovations.

Using the latest NASA data, physicists from the Olin College of Engineering found that there are 22,800 near-earth objects (NEOs) measuring 140 metres or larger. Assuming that an impact will kill one in 1,000 people, your odds of dying in a collision with a space rock are one in 156,000.

The odds that any given planet's gonna have complex life, I mean, this is really an opinion because we don't know about life anywhere else in the universe, but most of the scientists that I know and think about this deeply, I think the likelihood of life elsewhere is very high. It may not be the sort of life we're used to. It's not giraffes and redwood trees, but at least things like microbes.

Italy is going to Mars! @ASI_Spazio and @SpaceX have signed a first-of-its-kind agreement to carry Italian experiments on the first Starship flights to Mars with customers. The payloads will gather scientific data during the missions. Italy continues to lead in space exploration!

The study estimates that the Late Classic Period Maya population was 16 million, indicating a 45% increase from previous estimations, which stood at 11 million.

Cannibalism was likely the result of a violent episode between competing Late Neolithic herding communities about 5,700 years ago.

In December 1942, the first experiment to achieve a sustained nuclear reaction occurred beneath the University of Chicago in a reactor called 'Chicago Pile 1.' This marked confirmation of Szilard's theoretical idea of nuclear chain reactions, where a reactions can continue and sustain itself.

"This is a challenge with real impact - if we get it right, we'll save families money, protect the planet and make the UK a clean energy superpower."

Chrysalis is a 58km cigar-shaped craft with concentric cylinders dedicated to different functions, like living quarters and biomes, promoting a thriving society in space.

Mr. L was the first reported case of word deafness, a severe inability to perceive and understand spoken words despite retaining the ability to hear, speak, read, and write.

Caffeine can make the sleeping brain more active and less restful, particularly in young adults, according to a study from the University of Montreal.

Whole-genome sequencing in 490,640 UK Biobank participants has enabled the discovery of approximately 1.5 billion genetic variants, vastly surpassing previous technologies in observed variation.

The 36 mile-long cylinder features a range of biome ecosystems, food production rooms, libraries, parks, multi-storey living areas, schools, hospitals and sports complexes.

Female gorillas strongly prefer to join groups that include females they have known for at least five years or have seen in the last two years.

A rare planetary alignment will occur on August 10, involving Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune visible in an arc in the night sky.

If you look at the 747, with 4 engines-now you can provide the same amount of thrust on 2 engines that burn 20 percent to 30 percent less fuel than those engines that were produced 20 to 30 years ago,

A molecular motor, powered by light and heat, can twist strings of atoms into durable shapes known as catenanes, revolutionizing knitting at a nanoscopic level.

The latest discovery is the tomb of Te K'ab Chaak, Caracol's first ruler, who took the throne in 331 CE and founded a dynasty that lasted more than 460 years.

"There were claims of a tail, but since 3I/ATLAS is accelerating and its current size is not much larger than the angular resolution of Earth-based telescopes, it is not easy to avoid fictitious elongation of the image as a result of the object's motion."

My first encounter with physics came when I was eight years old, inspired by the story of a great scientist who left an unfinished manuscript on his desk. This sparked my fascination with the universe and the fundamental laws governing it, particularly the legacy of Einstein and his elusive theory of everything, which aims to encapsulate the workings of the cosmos in a single equation.

The experiments conducted using the Mtw Awinda IMU evaluated its performance under magnetic disturbances and regular indoor environments, demonstrating effective logging and visualization capabilities.

The Habitable Worlds Observatory is a proposed flagship NASA mission that aims to discover inhabited planets beyond our Solar System, similar to the contributions made by the Hubble or JWST.

But this sand dollar is just an empty husk ... a skeleton.
