Dark Matter Gets a Reprieve in New Analysis
...— one co-authored by Cuoco, another by Hooper — offer complementary support for the dark matter hypothesis. Both analyzed recent data from the International Space Station’s Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS)...
Viruses Can Scatter Their Genes Among Cells and Reassemble
...virus’s small genome would have to be inside an infected cell. A new study recently published in eLife, however, overturns that assumption. Not only are some viruses split into multiple...
The Body’s Clock Offers a Rhythmic Target to Viruses
...that act as timers for the expression of thousands of genes. In one recent estimate, more than 80 percent of the protein-coding genes in mammals may be expressed cyclically, with...
The Quantum Theory That Peels Away the Mystery of Measurement
A recent test has confirmed the predictions of quantum trajectory theory, which describes what happens during the long-mysterious “collapse” of a quantum system. Imagine if all our scientific theories and...
Random Surfaces Hide an Intricate Order
...long enough. In recent years, mathematicians have identified the canonical forms of other random processes — and have won some of the highest honors in the field as a result....
Cellular Life, Death and Everything in Between
...spate of recent work that probes the liminal space between cellular life and death. Although life and death are commonly treated as alternatives, it’s not that simple. Physicians, medical ethicists...
Wandering Space Rocks Help Solve Mysteries of Planet Formation
...seed is needed. Recent observations from telescopes such as the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array are showing that planets form very rapidly around young stars. This seems odd, based on what...
Bubble Experiment Finds Universal Laws
...University. A recent study has identified universality in a new system: bubbles trapped in a narrow tube. The work comes as something of a surprise, since bubbles historically were the...
Bacterial Clones Show Surprising Individuality
...all is a notion that has shaken the foundations of microbiology in recent years. Working in the lab of Roman Stocker at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH...
