Last year astronomers discovered a gigantic “ghost” galaxy, named Antlia 2, orbiting the Milky Way. Now, new research led by Rochester University has found that the bizarre galaxy may have been involved in a hit-and-run that left the Milky Wa… Continue reading Milky Way still reeling from impact with "ghost galaxy"
Since aging is a key driver of many diseases, targeting that process could be a handy catch-all for treating a range of diseases and improving quality of life for pretty much everybody. Researchers at EPFL have now reported a new step towards… Continue reading Anti-aging compound from pomegranates proves promising in human clinical trials
The Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con controllers are good for playing platformers, but more complex games like Super Smash Bros Ultimate are best played with Pro Controllers. Japanese accessory company Hori has now unveiled a new controller that kind of blends both into one, which is basically a Pro Controller split in two to slide onto either side of the screen in handheld mode.

Antibiotics were one of the most important scientific developments of the 20th century, helping to easily control bacterial infections and make previously life-threatening procedures and illnesses safe. But inversely, they might also be one o… Continue reading Superbug gene that resists "last resort" antibiotics detected in US for the first time
The CRISPR gene-editing system is a powerful tool that looks set to revolutionize the way we treat diseases, as well as basically anything else that can benefit from precisely manipulating DNA. The problem is that sometimes cutting and pastin… Continue reading New CRISPR-based system inserts new DNA without cutting and pasting
There are a few schools of thought in the world of LCD monitors, with the battle lines mostly drawn between In-Plane Switching (IPS) and Twisted Nematic (TN) devices. As ubiquitous as IPS has become, its main disadvantage so far has been a sl… Continue reading LG unveils first 1-millisecond IPS LCD monitors for gamers
Viruses can be tricky foes, but researchers in Europe have uncovered a new weakness that could be exploited to produce new antiviral drugs. The team discovered a compound that can prevent certain classes of viruses from infecting cells, pavin… Continue reading Exploiting a newly-discovered weakness in the cold virus opens new antiviral avenue
Dark matter is the mysterious substance that’s believed to permeate the universe, outweighing regular matter by a ratio of five to one. It’s thought to play a central role in the formation of galaxies, which made the discovery last year of a galaxy with no dark matter quite surprising. But now, astronomers have examined the oddball galaxy a bit closer – and found that it’s not so special after all.

Although it looks like a boring, barren place, the Moon is home to some pretty amazing landmarks. The South Pole-Aitken basin, for example, is the largest impact crater in the solar system, measuring about 2,500 km (1,550 mi) across at its widest point. And now scientists have detected something strange buried under the crater.

It’s basic biology that physical traits are passed from parent to offspring, but what about behaviors? Biologists at Princeton have shown that in worms, learned behaviors can be passed down as many as four generations, with younger worms inst… Continue reading Worm study shows behaviors can be passed down several generations
