HELSINKI — The Chinese Academy of Sciences is aiming to accelerate its progress in space science with a newly developed medium- and long-term roadmap for future missions. The plan will see China’s space science efforts—marked in recent years by successful dark matter, quantum and space physics missions—transitioning into an accelerated development phase. The long-term plan…

Two Democratic lawmakers on Thursday introduced legislation to protect wolves and grizzly bears even if the high-profile animals lose their Endangered Species Act protections. With the Fish and Wildlife Service facing calls to delist grizzly bear and gray wolf populations, the companion bills introduced in both House and Senate would essentially provide a backstop. Among…

A new study suggests that black holes may not be the featureless, structureless entities that Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts them to be. Instead, the cosmic monsters might be bizarre quantum objects known as “frozen stars.” While these would share some similarities with black holes, the hypothetical celestial bodies differ in crucial ways that…

Discovery could lead to new  treatments for cancer and tumors, but probably not to any new diagnostic assays for clinical laboratories Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) Medical Center have reported discovery of “acid walls” that appear to protect various types of cancer tumors from attack by the body’s immune system cells. Though…

A group of Chinese researchers has launched an international plan to increase the number of healthy years in people’s lives by proposing a new phase of the pioneering Human Genome Project to gain a deeper understanding of the human genome. Advertisement Building on the landmark achievements that generated the first human genome sequence two decades…

Research on the simple organism Caenorhabditis elegans has led to significant insights into neurodegenerative diseases by studying the gene swip-10, which influences copper homeostasis and could impact treatments for conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists discovered a link between copper regulation and neurodegeneration, using the worm gene swip-10. Their findings suggest that restoring copper…
