Szostak believes the earliest cells developed on land in ponds or pools, potentially in volcanically active regions. Ultraviolet light, lightning strikes, and volcanic eruptions all…
Elaborate sympathetic innervation (magenta) around melanocyte stem cells (yellow). Acute stress induces hyperactivation of the sympathetic nervous system to release large amount of the neurotransmitter…
Visualization of the Radcliffe Wave: a massive, wave-shaped gaseous structure made up of stellar nurseries, forming one of the largest coherent structures ever observed in…
A simulation of electrons at different energies scattering off atomic defects like those in samarium hexabroide. By observing such waves, the researchers measured the electron’s…
Lighting the Way: A new method to detect light in the brain sets the stage for next-gen optical brain devices. Researchers from the Italian Institute…
