A strange new phase of ice has been discovered during experiments with the world’s largest X-ray laser. Meet ice XXI, a bizarre phase that forms at room temperature, under extreme pressure. The solidified water we’re most familiar with here on Earth is technically known as ice I, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg – for instance, aliens on …

Citizen scientists have found several new “odd radio circles<” or ORCs, in distant, enormous galaxy clusters — and through their discoveries, scientists are learning more about how these huge ring-like structures form. ORCs were first identified only six years ago, in 2019, by Anna Kapinska of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory while perusing observations made by the Australian Square Kilometre …

Summary: Researchers have identified a rare type of brain cell that may drive the chronic inflammation and neurodegeneration seen in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). These cells, called disease-associated radial glia-like (DARG) cells, appear six times more often in patients with progressive MS than in healthy individuals. DARGs revert to an early developmental state yet also show premature aging, releasing inflammatory …

This week’s science news was bursting with mind-blowing astronomical observations, led by new discoveries about the origins of the comet 3I/ATLAS. The comet, an interstellar interloper from far beyond our solar system, was first spotted in late June. Now, scientists are finally closing in on its age and where it came from. They discovered it likely originated in the far …

Neurons (pictured) in a brain region called the parabrachial nucleus have been implicated in creating the sensation of pain that persists long after an initial injury.Credit: Mike Agliolo/Science Photo Library Scientists have spotted a small set of easily overlooked brain cells that is activated during persistent pain — the kind that lasts long after an initial injury. The research was …

Researchers have identified a gene that they reported was linked to a 1.5 times-higher likelihood of suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. In the first large-scale trial of brains afflicted by the disease in African American donors, scientists from Boston University zeroed in on the ADAMTS2 gene in brain tissue from those with autopsy-confirmed Alzheimer’s disease. ADAMTS2 is crucial to the formation …

Recent research, including studies published by Heriot-Watt University and a ScienceDirect report, has uncovered colossal structures buried deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean, shedding new light on the birth of this massive water body. This discovery not only confirms earlier theories about the separation of South America and Africa but also suggests the Atlantic may have begun forming earlier than previously …
