Cambridge Scientists Just Reversed a Form of Nerve Damage Once Thought Permanent - SciTechDaily
Cambridge researchers used lab-grown human brain and spinal cord tissues to uncover a hidden mechanism that blocks nerve repair. By reversing that biological brake, they restored the ability of damaged nerve fibers to regrow.
'The Heaven Sword' crowned as East Asia's tallest tree after a nearly decade-long search - Phys.org
Taiwan, historically known as Formosa, holds a secret deep within its rugged interior: it is one of the rare locations on Earth capable of supporting “giant” trees—specimens that tower over 80 meters in height. Since 2014, a dedicated group, the “Taiwan tree …
Measuring gravitational waves in a humming universe with a coordinate-free approach - Phys.org
Gravitational waves are tiny ripples in spacetime. Their first direct detection in 2015 marked a revolutionary moment in astronomy. Today, we have a thorough understanding of signals that travel far from their sources through quiet, nearly empty space, such a…
New study reveals how Stonehenge’s Altar Stone crossed ancient Britain - Archaeology News Online Magazine
New research traces Stonehenge’s Altar Stone to Scotland and reveals how ancient people moved it across Britain.
Novel synthetic biomolecule degrades disease-related proteins - Phys.org
Northwestern Medicine scientists have developed a novel synthetic biomolecular condensate that can degrade intracellular disease-causing proteins, providing a framework for new therapeutic approaches for a wide range of diseases, as detailed in a recent study…
Record ultraviolet quasar wind reaches 30% light speed near supermassive black hole - Phys.org
A team led by York University researchers has discovered the fastest wind near a supermassive black hole ever found at ultraviolet wavelengths, driven by the disk of matter (quasar) surrounding the black hole.
