James Webb spots carbon on Europa, boosting case for life

The best places in our solar system to search for life beyond Earth aren’t planets like Mars – they’re icy moons like Europa. The case for life on this watery world just got stronger, as the James Webb Space Telescope has detected a fresh carbon source… Continue reading James Webb spots carbon on Europa, boosting case for life

LG sets new real-world-ready distance record for 6G data transmission

Technology never sits still, so while 5G communications feels pretty new and flashy, the industry is already making preparations for the next generation. LG Electronics and the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz Institute have now conducted a test that set a ne… Continue reading LG sets new real-world-ready distance record for 6G data transmission

Stem cell transplant refreshes brain cells to treat Alzheimer’s in mice

Stem cell transplants have shown promise in treating Alzheimer's disease in mice by replacing microglia, the brain's immune cells

Scientists at Stanford Medicine have tested a new potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease in mice. The therapy involves transplanting blood stem cells from healthy mice into those with the disease, which helps replace defective neural cells.

James Webb analyzes atmosphere of first TRAPPIST planet

The James Webb Space Telescope has achieved one of the first major science goals announced for it way back in 2017. The infrared instrument has now probed the atmosphere around one of the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTa… Continue reading James Webb analyzes atmosphere of first TRAPPIST planet

Future supercontinent predicted to trigger a mammal Armageddon

About 66 million years ago, the reign of the reptiles came to a dramatic end as a huge asteroid slammed into Earth. Scientists have now predicted that mammals will meet their maker in a similar cataclysm in about 250 million years’ time, as the contine… Continue reading Future supercontinent predicted to trigger a mammal Armageddon

Oldest wooden structure, half a million years old, predates our species

Archaeologists excavating the oldest known wooden structure, dating back around 476,000 years

Stone Age builders may have been using other materials as well, according to a new study. Archaeologists have discovered the oldest evidence of artificial structures made of wood, dating back almost half a million years – predating the appearance of our own species and suggesting our relatives settled down much earlier than we thought.
