Alien Life May Survive on Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs, Study Finds
New research explores the possibility of alien life on planets orbiting white dwarfs. While these stellar remnants cool over time, their shrinking habitable zones may still allow biological processes like photosynthesis and UV-driven abiogenesis to occur. A model assessing a planet's energy reception over seven billion years indicates that life-sus...

"It Is A Hard Process": Humans Of Bombay CEO Karishma Mehta On Freezing Eggs
Karishma Mehta, the CEO of Humans of Bombay, has revealed that she opted for egg freezing, because she wanted the option of having children in the future without the burden of a ticking biological clock.

New Study Suggests Dogs May Have Domesticated Themselves for Food
A recent study explores the possibility that early wolves self-domesticated by staying near human settlements for food. Over thousands of years, wolves with more tolerant temperaments may have had better access to resources and selectively bred with similar mates. This natural selection process might have led to the domesticated dogs we know today....

MIT’s CuRVE Technique Achieves Uniform Protein Labeling in Intact Tissues
A breakthrough in protein labeling has been introduced by MIT scientists, addressing challenges in studying intact tissues. Their method, CuRVE, allows antibodies to evenly distribute without damaging structure. The approach, combined with stochastic electrotransport, ensures rapid and uniform protein tagging. Tests on various tissues, including mo...

AI Generates Fluorescent Protein That Nature Would Need 500 Million Years to Evolve
A new AI-generated fluorescent protein, esmGFP, has been developed, a process that would have taken nature 500 million years. Scientists used ESM3, an AI model trained on billions of natural protein sequences, to design a functional protein beyond evolutionary constraints. The development is expected to accelerate medical research, drug discovery, ...

Newly Discovered Oxygen Reaction Existed in Primitive Atmosphere, Sheds Light on Origin of Life
Scientists have uncovered a new way oxygen could form in carbon dioxide-rich atmospheres without the involvement of life. The discovery, led by researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China, shows that a reaction between helium ions and CO2 can produce molecular oxygen. This process challenges traditional methods of life detect...

‘Chonkus’ Algae Found Off Italian Coast Holds Promise for Improve Climate Change Situation
The newly identified ‘Chonkus’ strain of cyanobacteria, discovered in Italy's volcanic waters, may be a natural ally in carbon sequestration. With its CO₂-absorbing properties and ability to thrive in extreme environments, Chonkus shows promise in industrial carbon storage and bio-manufacturing, potentially lowering costs while contributing t...

Comb Jellies Exhibit Rare Ability to Revert from Adult to Juvenile Form
Recent research from the University of Bergen has uncovered a fascinating survival mechanism in comb jellies (Mnemiopsis leidyi), demonstrating their ability to revert from adult to juvenile form in response to environmental stressors. This groundbreaking discovery challenges previous understandings of their life cycle and regeneration capabilities...

Artficial Synapses Run a Million Times Faster Than Their Human Counterparts, Researchers Say
A team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a human-made analog synapse that can run 1 million times faster than the biological ones in the human brain. The researchers used programmable resistors in repeating arrays to create a complex layered network of artificial neurons and synapses, which executed com...
