Nobody likes to wait, and we are willing to pay to avoid it. Expedited shipping, fast food and video streaming are all profitable because they reduce or eliminate that wait. You can test this by asking a group of people to choose between receiving £100 now or £110 in a year. Research shows a significant…
A recent study, published in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, has identified critical thresholds of snowfall-to-precipitation (S/P) ratios sensitive to global warming, as well as their projected future trajectories in High Mountain Asia (HMA).

Astronomers have performed a multiwavelength study of nine open cluster candidates. As a result, they found that all of them are genuine open clusters and characterized by their fundamental properties. The finding was reported in a research paper published Feb. 21 on the arXiv pre-print server. Astronomers have performed a multiwavelength study of nine open cluster…
Researchers at the Arc Institute, Stanford University, and NVIDIA have developed Evo 2, an advanced AI model capable of predicting genetic variations and generating genomic sequences across all domains of life.

Comprehensive screening analysis of organohalogen compounds in blubber samples of 11 toothed whale species stranded on Japanese coasts revealed species-specific accumulation profiles, with a total of more than 300 organohalogen compounds detected. For the first time, the composition profiles of marine natural products were found to be useful indicators of the feeding habitats and migration…
Bacterial pathogens, such as those causing rice bacterial blight, tomato bacterial wilt, and kiwifruit bacterial canker, pose significant threats to global agriculture. However, effective pesticides to control these diseases are scarce, with copper-based bactericides and antibiotics offering limited efficacy and posing environmental risks. Bacterial pathogens, such as those causing rice bacterial blight, tomato bacterial wilt, and…
Described in a paper that appears today in the journal Nature Astronomy, the discovery means habitable exoplanets could have started forming much earlier — before the first galaxies formed and billions of years earlier than was previously thought. The post Water was Already Present in Primordial Universe 100-200 Million Years after Big Bang appeared first…
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have produced a beautiful new image of the intermediate spiral galaxy NGC 5042. The post Hubble Space Telescope Looks at NGC 5042 appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News. Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have produced a beautiful new image of the intermediate spiral galaxy NGC…
A research team led by Prof. Long Shibing from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has, for the first time, made spintronic neuromorphic devices based on CoO/Pt heterostructure. The study is published in Nano Letters. A research team led by Prof. Long Shibing from the University…
