First drafts of human proteome produced
Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology Two international teams, one headed by Akhilesh Pandey and the other by Bernhard Küster, have independently analyzed human tissue samples using mass spectrometry and produced the first drafts of the human prot ...
Do bees use a 'cognitive map' to navigate?
Plant and Animal Science It is believed that bees, like birds and butterflies, use the sun as a compass for navigation unlike mammals who use a mental map. However, Randolf Menzel, a neurobiologist at the Free University of Berlin, and his team suggest th ...
The gravitational waves study under criticism
Earth and Planetary Science John Kovac and his team created a sensation when they announced finding the evidence of primordial gravitational waves in March 2014, thus confirming the theory of inflation. However, this study has become embroiled in controve ...
Researchers find microbes that ‘recode,’ flouting DNA code
Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute in Walnut Creek, California observed that some microbes do not follow the DNA coding, which is considered to consist of universal set of rule ...
Healthy placentas harbor bacteria
Medicine, Health, and Nursing Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, found that placenta, which was thought to be sterile, harbors bacteria. They found that the placental microbiome was most similar to that present in the mouth of no ...
Cause of the mysterious Kawasaki disease discovered
Medicine, Health, and Nursing The exact cause of the enigmatic and potentially lethal Kawasaki disease, which predominantly affects the children in Japan, Hawaii, and Southern California, was unknown to researchers for decades. It was assumed by many scie ...
Proposed experiment would create matter from light
Physics Oliver Pike, a plasma physicist at Imperial College London, and his peers have devised a plan for a device that would use a key piece of fusion equipment to convert light, a form of energy, into particles with mass. This would be possible by smash ...
Researchers image complete nervous system in real time
Plant and Animal Science Neuroscientist Alipasha Vaziri of the University of Vienna and his colleagues have for the first time imaged all of the neurons firing in a living organism, the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans. They engineered C. elegans so t ...
Scientists discover why an octopus never gets entangled
Plant and Animal Science Guy Levy, a neuroscientist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and his team studied how an octopus avoids latching onto itself. They cut off an octopus’s arm and subjected it to a series of tests, and found that octopus arms ha ...
Scientists resolve the mystery of magnetar formation
Earth and Planetary Science A team of researchers headed by Simon Clark reported that they have found the "runaway star" that caused the Milk Way Galaxy's only magnetar—a rare type of neutron star that is highly dense and extremely magnetic ...
