A new study found that smaller Antarctic minke whales would not be able to survive, as they would not capture enough food using the lunge-feeding…
Introns are non-coding regions of DNA found within genes of eukaryotic organisms. They are transcribed into RNA but are later removed by a process called…

MIT researchers have identified components of mucus that can block cholera infections by interfering with the genes that cause the microbe to switch into a…
This animation depicts a star experiencing spaghettification as it’s sucked in by a black hole during a ‘tidal disruption event’. Credit: ESO/M. Kornmesser Scientists hope…
This map shows the estimated total fishing vessel activity and the amount of this activity obscured by the suspected disabling of automatic identification systems in…
A new research study reveals how a common type of epigenetic modification can be transmitted via sperm not only from parents to offspring, but to…
Parts of the human genome now available to study for the first time are important for understanding genetic diseases, human diversity, and evolution. The first…
Compelling Sign of Alien Life: Methane Could Be the First Detectable Indication of Life Beyond Earth
Methane in a planet’s atmosphere may be a sign of life if nonbiological sources can be ruled out. This illustration summarizes the known abiotic sources…
Study provides new perspective on Washington state’s Channeled Scablands, carved by the Missoula megafloods at the end of the last ice age. As ice sheets…
In the late stages of binary neutron star formation, the giant star expands and engulfs the neutron star companion in a stage referred to as…
A team of UC scientists reconstituted the circadian clock of cyanobacteria in a test tube, enabling them to study the molecular interactions of the clock…
The first 3D-printed stellar nurseries are highly polished spheres about the size of a baseball, in which swirling clumps and filaments represent star-forming clouds of…
Multi-wavelength observations of the Ophiuchus star-forming region reveal interactions between clouds of star-forming gas and radionuclides produced in a nearby cluster of young stars. The…
The striped shore crab (Pachygrapsus crassipes) is a small crab found all along the West Coast of North America, and it is extremely abundant in…
During pelagic red crab stranding events — like this one documented at a beach in Pacific Grove, California — the small red crustaceans wash ashore…
Free of toxic and hallucinogenic side effects, ibogaine-inspired tabernanthalog shows promise as a potential treatment for the detrimental effects of stress on the brain. A…
The early atmospheres of rocky planets are thought to form mostly from gases released from the surface of the planet as a result of the…
By varying the initial inventory of volatile elements in a model of the geochemical evolution of rocky planets, researchers obtained a wide range of outcomes,…
