Theory vs. data: Team tests Einstein's predictions by calculating the distortion of time and space

Theory vs. data: Team tests Einstein's predictions by calculating the distortion of time and space

Why is the expansion of our universe accelerating? Twenty-five years after its discovery, this phenomenon remains one of the greatest scientific mysteries. Solving it involves testing the fundamental laws of physics, including Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Maternal small RNAs determine the fate of hybrid seeds in plants, finds study

Maternal small RNAs determine the fate of hybrid seeds in plants, finds study

Plant breeders, aiming to develop resilient and high-quality crops, often cross plants from different species to transfer desirable traits. However, they frequently encounter a major obstacle: hybrid seed failure. This reproductive barrier often prevents closely related species from producing viable seeds.

Markers in iPSC quality control—a new approach to enhance standardization

Markers in iPSC quality control—a new approach to enhance standardization

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have a great potential for scientific and medical applications. They are used in research laboratories to model human diseases, helping to uncover underlying mechanisms and developing new therapies. Additionally, they are being tested in clinical trials as a solution for regenerative therapies targeting diseases like Parkinson's, with the goal of restoring function and improving patient outcomes.

Compact error correction: Toward a more efficient 'quantum hard drive'

Compact error correction: Toward a more efficient 'quantum hard drive'

Two quantum information theorists at the University of Sydney Nano Institute have solved a decades-old problem that will require fewer qubits to suppress more errors in quantum hardware.

Scientists use cow gut enzyme to disrupt bacterial biofilms

Scientists use cow gut enzyme to disrupt bacterial biofilms

Most of the disease-causing bacteria secrete matrix-like layers around themselves called biofilms. These biofilms act as thick barriers limiting the entry of drugs and helping the bacteria become resistant to antibiotics.

Unexpected differences in genetically identical bacteria provide a new perspective on aging at the cellular level

Unexpected differences in genetically identical bacteria provide a new perspective on aging at the cellular level

Surprising findings on bacterial aging have emerged from a study carried out by a team of researchers led by the biologist Dr. Ulrich Steiner at Freie Universität Berlin. In a new paper published in Science Advances, the team demonstrated that even genetically identical bacterial cells living in the same environment react differently to the aging process and that changes occur at different rates within different regions of the cell.

Iron electrocatalysis breaks down polystyrene and delivers green hydrogen

Iron electrocatalysis breaks down polystyrene and delivers green hydrogen

The vast amounts of plastic garbage heaped in landfills and in the environment are as problematic as the plastics are useful. In an article published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition, a German research team has now introduced a new method for recycling polystyrene waste. Their efficient electrochemical process uses an inexpensive iron catalyst, produces hydrogen as a byproduct, and can be powered by solar panels.

Arctic lake sediment records reveal unexpected storm patterns

Arctic lake sediment records reveal unexpected storm patterns

Willem van der Bilt from the Department of Earth Science at the University in Bergen and the Bjerknes Center has, together with a group co-led by Mateusz Strzelecki at the University of Wrocław in Poland, worked on various new methods that extract more societally relevant information about hazards from geological archives such as lake sediments. They combined different high-resolution scanning techniques in a geostatistical framework.
