Howard Chang wasn’t looking for a change from his job at Stanford, where he worked as both a genomic researcher and a dermatologist. His busy lab there was focused on understanding how regulatory programmes drive disease — unveiling for example how long-non-coding RNA (lncRNA) underpins autoimmunity in women and how extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) fuels cancer. And with five biotech startups …

A recent study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B confirms that dolphins and orcas have reached a point in their evolutionary path where returning to land is no longer biologically possible. Led by Bruna Farina, a doctoral researcher at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, the study examined over 5,600 species of mammals and found that full-time marine …

Among the hundreds of billions of galaxies that stretch across the known universe, even the smallest members can reveal secrets about our cosmic history. But even as we discover new galaxies, astronomers suspect that many small “dwarf” galaxies remain hidden from view. Only a fraction of the size of the Milky Way, these galaxies have thus far been too faint …

NASA’s Perseverance rover stumbled upon an unusual find during its latest sweep of Mars, as the space agency shared a photo of a curious rock found on the red planet’s surface which looks exactly like a wide-brimmed hat. The rock, which appears to have a pointed-peak and wide brim, much like a witches hat or an old helmet, was selected …

Astronomers have confirmed the earliest, most distant black hole yet – and it’s surprisingly monstrous for its time. Residing in a galaxy called CAPERS-LRD-z9, it was already approximately 300 million times the mass of the Sun just 500 million years after the Big Bang, when the baby Universe was just 3 percent of its current age. Additionally, this discovery sheds …

NASA’s Artemis 2 mission is one step closer to its ambitious goal of sending astronauts around the Moon. According to recent updates from NASA, the Orion spacecraft, which will be at the heart of the mission, has successfully completed its propellant loading and is now advancing through critical phases of its preparation. This milestone comes after the spacecraft was moved …
