A groundbreaking study of the genomes of nearly 6,000 Greenlandic people has shed new light on the genetic history of the Inuit. The research, published in Nature, suggests that the Inuit ancestors rarely moved around after settling the island around 1,000 years ago, leading to a unique genetic makeup that may be linked to certain…
Researchers are making significant strides in treating Hunter syndrome, a rare genetic disorder affecting children. Enzyme replacement therapy, the most popular approach, has shown promise, but challenges remain in addressing neurological aspects of the disease. Companies like Denali Therapeutics are advancing novel approaches, such as using Enzyme Transport Vehicle technology to deliver enzymes across the…
A team of researchers has detected a neutrino from space with an unprecedented energy of 220 million billion electron volts, shattering the previous record by a factor of 20. The discovery was made using the partially built Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT) in the Mediterranean Sea. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize our understanding…
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have made a significant discovery in the field of cancer treatment. They found that low-temperature plasma, specifically streamer discharge, can inhibit tumour recurrence after surgery by reducing the recurrence rate by roughly 50%. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment and improve patient outcomes. Forecast for 6…
A German graduate student, Britta Späth, encountered the McKay conjecture, a significant open problem in group theory, in 2003. She dedicated her time to solving it, eventually teaming up with mathematician Marc Cabanes, whom she fell in love with. After 20 years of work, the couple has successfully solved the problem, providing a concrete tool…
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the Earth’s inner core, revealing that it is changing shape. This finding, published in Nature Geoscience, has sparked new questions about the potential effects on the planet’s magnetic field, day length, and more. Researchers analyzed seismic waves from earthquakes to determine that the inner core has been deforming…
Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, has released its latest flagship AI model, Grok 3, which boasts enhanced capabilities in image analysis and question-answering. The new model has been in development for several months and surpasses its predecessor, Grok 2, in terms of computing power and accuracy. Grok 3 is set to revolutionize the AI landscape,…
Scientists at the KM3NeT neutrino observatory have made a groundbreaking discovery by detecting an ultra-high-energy cosmic neutrino with an energy greater than 100 PeV. This finding has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of cosmic neutrino sources and may even reveal new physics beyond the Standard Model. The detection of such a high-energy neutrino opens…
Scientists have discovered the secret to the mantis shrimp’s powerful punches, which can exceed 1,000 times the animal’s body weight without causing injury. The exoskeleton of the mantis shrimp’s club-like forelimbs is built to filter out damaging pressure waves, and its unique architecture could inspire new materials such as impact-resistant armor and aerospace structures. Forecast…
