Read more A pulsar’s gentle twinkle is revealing how space quietly bends and delays the signals we receive from the cosmos. For about ten months, scientists led by the SETI Institute closely monitored the pulsar PSR J0332+5434 (also called B0329+54). Their goal was to see how its radio signal appears to “twinkle” as it travels through gas [...] Show less

Read more A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a previously unknown neurodevelopmental disorder in children. When PEDS1 does not work properly, brain growth and nerve cell formation are impaired. The findings help explain how early genetic changes can shape brain development and disease. Show less

Read more Scientists have discovered hidden viruses in whales and orcas, revealing a secret side of ocean life no one had seen before. An international team of scientists has identified two previously unknown circoviruses in short-finned pilot whales and orcas living in the Caribbean region of the North Atlantic Ocean. The collaboration includes students and senior researchers [...] Show less

Instagram users were left worried of a security breach and data exposure following receipt of unsolicited multiple password reset emails

The incident was captured and shared on social media

An urgent medical crisis has forced an unscheduled end to the Crew-11 mission, marking a historic first for the International Space Station.

Read more The Coalition is generally supportive of the continued pursuit of renewable energy generation – but not at the expense of grid reliability and safe, adequate and affordable electric service. The inability to timely develop renewable generation and keep up with forecast demand necessitates keeping all options on the table, including existing fossil-fuel generation. Show less

Read more Scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new kind of energy storage material that could make future batteries safer, more durable, and more efficient. The innovation centers on a special gel-like material called an ionogel, combined with ultrathin polymer layers to form a tough, flexible membrane that controls how electric charge moves […] The post This gel-like material could boost battery life and prevent fires appeared first on Knowridge Science Report.
