Intel has demonstrated a prototype of the next generation of its Thunderbolt interface. The new connection will be up to three times faster than the existing Thunderbolt 4 when it debuts next year.Continue ReadingCategory: Electronics, ScienceTags: Com… Continue reading Intel’s next-gen Thunderbolt doubles and triples transfer speeds
Astronomers have been keenly watching the asteroid Didymos since the historic DART mission successfully crashed a spacecraft into it last month. And now, Hubble has detected something unexpected – the asteroid has sprouted two tails.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Asteroid grows two tails after DART spacecraft collision
Do people eating lots of sugar become desensitized to sweetness? Scientists at the University of Michigan (U-M) have found evidence that this might be the case, with a new study in rats finding that those on a high-sugar diet had as much as a 50% reduc… Continue reading High-sugar diet desensitizes the tongue to sweet tastes, says rat study
The James Webb Space Telescope has already snapped some incredible images in its short career, but this new one is a doozy. The plucky young spacecraft has now taken images of the iconic Pillars of Creation, revealing new details and giving a peek behi… Continue reading James Webb snaps stunningly detailed image of Pillars of Creation
New research has provided unprecedented insights into the genetics and social structures of Neanderthals. Scientists have sequenced the genomes of 13 individuals that lived in a close-knit community, revealing some specific family ties.Continue Reading… Continue reading Neanderthal genome sequences reveal close family ties
Astronomers may have discovered a monster black hole that’s one of the closest to Earth known. With a mass equivalent to 12 Suns, the black hole was found to be quietly lurking “practically in our backyard,” according to the team.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading “Monster” black hole may be the closest to Earth found so far
Researchers at Yale and the University of Rhode Island (URI) have demonstrated a new technique to fight cancer by attaching immunotherapy drugs to a molecule that seeks out the acidic environment of cancer cells. In tests in mice, a single dose was eno… Continue reading Homing missile molecule eradicates even advanced cancers in mice
Despite making up 85% of the total mass in the universe, dark matter has remained elusive to direct detection. A new study proposes a unique way to look for it using the Earth’s atmosphere as a giant detector for dark matter particles streaming through… Continue reading Dark matter “meteors” could be streaking through Earth’s atmosphere
Brain cancer is one of the most insidious forms of the disease, but researchers at Stanford have now developed a wireless device that could help improve survival times. When implanted between the skin and skull, the remotely activated device heats up g… Continue reading Infrared implant between skin and skull helps kill brain cancer
Senescent cells are somewhat of a boogeyman lately, blamed for many of the unpleasant effects of aging. As such, they’re targeted by an increasing range of anti-aging therapies – but we might not want to wipe them all out, as a new study suggests that … Continue reading “Zombie cells” targeted by anti-aging therapies may not be all bad
