Organic compounds have been discovered on Mars in recent years – but how did they get there? A new study examines the different ways that one type in particular, thiophene, may have formed, and intriguingly one of the most plausible scenarios involves … Continue reading Organic molecules on Mars may be evidence of ancient life

Doogee’s rugged phones are known for being able to take a beating, and now the company’s newest model is designed to hold its own against that most frustrating of opponents: battery life. The Doogee N100 packs a huge 10,000-mAh battery, doubling that o… Continue reading Doogee doubles down on battery with a whopping 10,000 mAh smartphone
The CRISPR gene-editing tool has been used inside the human body for the first time. In a new clinical trial, scientists at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) are testing the technique as a treatment for a genetic mutation that causes blin… Continue reading First in-body CRISPR human trial targets hereditary blindness
Dark matter is believed to outnumber regular matter by a ratio of five-to-one, but so far it’s never been directly detected. Now, nuclear physicists at the University of York have proposed a new candidate particle that might make up the strange stuff –… Continue reading New candidate particle for dark matter is one we’ve already found
Concrete is the world’s most widely-used building material thanks to its incredible strength – but it doesn’t stand up well against bending. Now, researchers at Swinburne University have developed a new type of concrete that can not only bend better, b… Continue reading Bendable concrete goes cement-free to cut environmental footprint
Researchers in Europe and the UK have managed to connect biological and artificial neurons together – and allow them to communicate long distances through the internet. The biological neurons were grown in one country, sent signals through an artificia… Continue reading Biological and artificial neurons connect and communicate online
Scientists have discovered a full, previously-unknown protein inside a meteorite for the first time. Named hemolithin, the new protein contains iron and lithium and may play an important role in seeding life on habitable planets like Earth.Continue Rea… Continue reading Extraterrestrial protein discovered in meteorite for the first time
Palaeontologists have announced the discovery of organic material in 75-million year old dinosaur fossils. The team claims to have found evidence of cartilage cells, proteins, chromosomes and even DNA preserved inside the fossils, suggesting these can … Continue reading Dinosaur DNA and proteins found in fossils, paleontologists claim
Bacteria have a frustrating ability to return after an infection is cleared out. That’s largely thanks to small “persister” populations that are able to hide from the drugs, seeding a new colony in the aftermath. Now, scientists at the University of Su… Continue reading “Forgetful” mutations may help bacteria evade antibiotics
