The Earth may be swimming through an ocean of… dark matter – and waves in that invisible ocean lapping against our planet’s upper atmosphere could generate detectable radio waves that could finally help us find this elusive part of the universe, according to new theoretical research. A wealth of astrophysical and cosmological evidence points to … Read more
Credit: A zircon crystal under the microscope. Hugo Olierrook/Curtin University For life to emerge on a planet, we need two ingredients: dry land and (fresh) water. Strictly speaking, the water does not have to be fresh, but fresh water can only occur on dry land. Only when these two conditions are met can you convert … Read more

Recent studies have cast doubt on the presence of a lake of liquid water beneath the ice cap at Mars’ south pole, a discovery that initially raised hopes of finding microbial life on the Red Planet. In 2018, the European Space Agency’s Mars Express satellite detected strong radar reflections that indicated a 12-mile-long lake lay … Read more

A RIPE team used CRISPR/Cas9 to increase gene expression in rice by altering upstream regulatory DNA. While other studies have used the technology to silence or reduce gene expression, their research is the first unbiased approach to gene editing to … Read more

Relevant parts of the spectra obtained on day 20 from the three measurements performed. Credit: Physical assessment C (2024). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevC.109.055501 The search for the elusive neutrino takes many forms. Detectors consisting of many tons of gallium are used in various experiments because neutrino interactions can occur on the stable gallium-71 (71Ga) nucleus and transform … Read more
Scientists have discovered that a river comparable in size to the Rio Grande once dominated West Antarctica, offering a rare glimpse of the continent’s land covered in ice today. It is believed that the 900-mile-long waterway flowed about 44 to 34 million years ago, shortly before the continent’s immensely thick ice sheets began to build … Read more
