We’ve all read the advice that during a meteor shower there is no equipment needed. All you need to do is lay back and wonder at one of the most spectacular sights the universe has to offer. That’s about it though and while you lay back on a lounger and watch, it really can be…
For the first time ever, a baby Maugean skate has hatched from an egg laid in captivity—and scientists are looking forward to more arrivals soon.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season will be more active than normal. This comes after an energetic 2023 season, which brought the fourth-most named storms since 1950.

Arginine methylation is an important post-translational modification involved in transcriptional regulation, RNA processing, DNA damage repair, and immune response. Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are the evolutionarily conserved protein family responsible for catalyzing protein arginine methylation. Arginine methylation is an important post-translational modification involved in transcriptional regulation, RNA processing, DNA damage repair, and immune response. Protein arginine…

If you were to slice through it, you would see the Earth is divided into distinct layers. On top is the relatively thin crust where we live. Beneath that is the 2,900 km thick mantle layer. Then, enclosed within the mantle is the innermost metallic core of our planet. If you were to slice through it,…
When my colleagues and I set to work on a century-old cosmic mystery, we found an unexpected celestial laboratory in Terzan 5, a dense star cluster currently plunging through our galaxy at breakneck speed.
