In Major Breakthrough, Mice Created With Two Fathers And No Mother Reach Adulthood
By using embryonic stem cell engineering, the researchers were able to reprogram the imprinted genes, effectively allowing the mice to develop with genetic material from two fathers.

AI Study Finds Organic Molecules on Ceres Likely Came from Asteroid Impacts
A new AI-driven study has challenged previous assumptions about the origin of organic molecules on Ceres. Scientists have mapped organic-rich areas using data from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft and found no evidence linking these compounds to cryovolcanic activity. Instead, simulations suggest asteroid impacts from the outer belt likely delivered the ma...

New Study Reveals How Leaves' Resilience to Raindrops Might Help in Agriculture and Renewable Energy
Research published in Physical Review Fluids reveals how raindrops interact with leaves, protecting plants from damage and opening avenues for technological innovations. The study, led by Professor Sunghwan Jung of Cornell University, examined the mechanics of drop-leaf interactions using high-speed imaging and a plastic beam to simulate plant beha...

China to Reportedly Activate Powerful X-Ray Light Source to Reveal Atomic Structure of Proteins
China is about to launch the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), a state-of-the-art synchrotron capable of providing high-resolution x-ray imaging. Expected to begin operations in late December, HEPS will enable scientists to explore atomic-level structures in materials and proteins. This new facility, costing $657 million, will offer advanced capabi...

Artificial Photosynthesis Developed to Help Make Food Production More Energy-Efficient
Researchers have developed artificial photosynthesis using a two-step electrocatalytic process to convert carbon dioxide, electricity, and water into acetate, the form of the main component of vinegar. This way bypasses the need for biological photosynthesis altogether.
