    Organic Matter On Mars Was Formed From Atmospheric Formaldehyde

    Diagram showing the processes of how organic matter was formed on early Mars. ©Shungo Koyama Although Mars is currently a cold, dry planet, geological evidence suggests that liquid water existed there around 3 to 4 billion years ago. Where there is water, there is usually life. In their quest to answer the burning question about…

    Astrophysics: A.I. Shines A New Light On Exoplanets

    Example solution for the α(x, y) shown in Fig. 1 for the direction of the light in positive x-direction (φ = 0). Top: The complete solution (left), the solution if scattering would be treated as absorption (middle) and the difference between the two: the scattered light component (right), all in units of u0 := u(x…

  • Outsmarting the dark side of our DNA

    Roswell Park scientists tackle the danger that looms when ancient viruses awaken. The Innovation Engine series highlights high-impact Roswell Park science that advances the priorities of the National Cancer Plan — a roadmap for working together to end cancer as we know it. The work outlined in this post supports Goal #3: Develop Effective Treatments. …

  • A neutrino mass mismatch could shake cosmology’s foundations

    A neutrino mass mismatch could shake cosmology’s foundations

    As the youthful universe congealed under the pull of gravity, matter knotted itself into galaxies, galaxy clusters and filaments, weaving a dazzlingly intricate cosmic web. This web’s structure is thanks, in part, to the handiwork of neutrinos — lightweight, subatomic particles that surge through the cosmos in unimaginable numbers. Because they streak about at high…
