An image depicting the optogenetic screening process (Image source: AI-generated image) In a major breakthrough, researchers have identified a new class of broad-spectrum antiviral compounds that work by amplifying a cell’s own natural defenses, showing effectiveness against viruses like Zika, herpes, and RSV. A team of researchers just discovered compounds that could lead to a new generation of antiviral drugs …

Yellowstone National Park has announced the discovery of a new thermal feature — a 13-foot baby blue hot spring in the Norris Geyser Basin. In a Monday announcement, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reports the new pool emerged sometime around Christmas and was first spotted in April. The feature doesn’t have a name (and probably won’t), but it’s an exciting new addition …

Greenland’s ice-covered landscape looks like an immovable block on satellite maps. Yet the story locked beneath its center suggests a very different past, one that places future coastal cities in a tight spot. During the Pleistocene – the geologic chapter that began about 2.7 million years ago and ran through innumerable swings between cold and mild – the island’s ice waxed and …

Groundbreaking new autism research suggests that already-rising diagnoses could jump more significantly in the coming years if a new framework for understanding the condition comes into play. The latest research out of Princeton University and the Simons Foundation uncovered four unique subtypes of autism, each with its own genetic ‘fingerprint’ – finally explaining why some children show signs early while …

In a remarkable discovery on the cliffs of Durlston Bay near Swanage, Dorset, a new species of prehistoric mammal has been unearthed, offering fresh insights into the diversity of early mammals that coexisted with dinosaurs. The fossilized remains, dating back approximately 145 million years to the Berriasian age of the Cretaceous period, were found by Benjamin Weston, an undergraduate paleontology …

For the first time in recorded history, researchers have identified a drastic reversal in ocean circulation within the Southern Ocean, a finding that carries profound implications for global climate patterns. This momentous study, led by the National Oceanographic Centre (NOC) in the UK and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), reveals that since 2016, the …

Protoplanetary disks made of gas and dust form around young stars, and this is where planets from. These disks don’t last forever. Eventually, the star’s energetic output dissipates the disk through photoevaporation, the material gets taken up in planets, and the planet-forming process ceases. All young stars are expected to have protoplanetary disks, and these dusty environments make it difficult …
