Chinese astronomers have published the most detailed atlas of the moon ever, which they describe as the “first high-resolution geological atlas of the entire moon.” The atlas not only provides images of the craters as seen from telescopes or orbiters, but also provides geological, lithological and tectonic maps of the entire lunar surface. NASA compiled … Read more
Researchers recently revealed new insights into exotic subatomic particles and the strong force. Their work predicts the existence of a new tetraquark, consisting of beauty and charm quarks and two light anti-quarks, using computational methods. This discovery advances our understanding of quantum chromodynamics and the composition of visible matter. Credit: SciTechDaily.com A new study reveals … Read more
A surprisingly low methane reservoir could explain how a planet around a nearby star became strangely bloated, according to new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST(. The finding shows that planetary atmospheres can inflate to remarkable amounts without resorting to esoteric theories of planet formation, astronomers say. “The Webb data tells us that … Read more

Resume: Researchers identified a key signaling pathway, PI3K-beta, responsible for chemotherapy resistance in glioblastoma. Blocking this pathway makes tumor cells more sensitive to temozolomide, a standard chemotherapy drug. This discovery offers a potential new approach to treating glioblastoma, a deadly brain cancer, by overcoming drug resistance and improving patient outcomes. Key Facts: The PI3K-beta signaling … Read more
Recent research indicates that some dinosaurs may have evolved the ability to regulate their body temperature internally during the Early Jurassic period, allowing them to adapt to colder climates and survive environmental challenges. The artist’s impression shows a dromaeosaur, a type of feathered theropod, in the snow. This group of dinosaurs is popularly known as … Read more
This month’s increased auroras may have been even more remarkable than we thought. The auroral shows that astonishes observers around the world two weekends ago, including people as far south as Florida in the US and Ladakh in northern India, this could have been one of the strongest light shows since record keeping began. “With … Read more
The chief scientist of NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover is excited about material stored in the rover’s sample tubes, dropped both on the surface of Mars and in the rover itself while orbiting Jezero Crater. Given the Martian samples Perseverance has collected so far, could one of those be what the rover was meant to look … Read more
