SpaceX shares are down, but Elon Musk is still the richest man in the world. What’s next?

A group of Stanford researchers recently discovered an explosive cell in flatworms that appears to sacrifice itself in order to kill other cells.

Tesla's controversial vehicle is replacing a tactical military transport designed to deflect landmine blasts.

Scientists have captured images of the sun’s surface in the finest detail yet

The spadefoot's presence here more than 1 million years ago is helping researchers understand how the Ice Age changed our region.

After hiding every kitchen knife in her home, former FBI profiler Jana Monroe realized years of studying killers had changed how she saw the world.

If NASA wants to land astronauts on the Moon again, it's got three problems, and they're all bodies.

Antarctica's Concordia station, located in the East Antarctic plateau recorded -119.4°F on July 18, the coldest temperature anywhere on Earth in 14 years

JWST detected clay minerals on Neptune's inner moons - chemical evidence that Triton's arrival destroyed an entire ancient moon system 4 billion years ago.

Polar bears might rule the Arctic, but they also have a surprisingly tender side – captured here in 14 striking moments in the wild.

Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have demonstrated a new quantum-dot mechanism that could significantly expand the reach of light-driven chemistry. By introducing magnetic manganese dopants into semiconductor quantum dots, the team created an ultrafast spin-exchange pathway that captures hot-electron energy before it is lost as heat and uses it to drive chemical reduction.

Photons traveling through a cloud of atoms can emerge so early that they appear to have spent a negative amount of time inside. Researchers tested whether this was merely a misleading feature of the light pulse by making extremely weak measurements of the atoms. Surprisingly, the atoms confirmed the same negative dwell time. The finding does not break standard physics, but it reveals that one of quantum mechanics’ strangest effects is physically measurable.

Apophis is going to get close.

A rare fossil find shows a tooth embedded an ichthyosaur’s vertebra, where it was likely left when a giant pliosaurid chomped down on this dolphin-resembling reptile

Off the coast of what is now Peterborough, England, an ichthyosaur—a prehistoric marine reptile that resembled an oversize dolphin—was presumably going about its business, looking for fish and ammonit...

Making a hasty exit away from the launch pad should something go wrong is important, obviously, but given the potentially destructive power of a rocket, the vehicle...

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are rare tissue-resident lymphocytes that functionally mirror cells of CD4+ T helper lineage but lack antigen receptors. Type 3 ILCs (ILC3s) are enriched at barrier sites, regulating inflammation and promoting tissue integrity. Here we profile the promoter-anchored chromosomal contacts of primary human ILC3s using low-input, high-resolution targeted chromosome conformation capture and compare them with those in CD4+ T cells. We use these data to link Crohn’s disease genome-wide association study variants with target genes, implicating both known and unanticipated candidates, including CLN3, a causal gene for Batten disease. We show that Cln3 overexpression in a mouse ILC3-like cell line alters stimulation-induced transcriptional programs and cytokine secretion. Extending our approach to five additional immune genome-wide association study traits reveals enrichment for regulators of ILC3 activation. Our work develops methods, maps long-range gene regulation in ILC3s, and prioritizes immune disease risk genes with roles in this clinically relevant immune cell type. High-resolution mapping of promoter-anchored chromosomal contacts in type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s), coupled with GWAS effector gene prioritization and functional studies, identifies ILC3-linked genes as potential mediators of risk for several immune diseases.

A long-distance relationship.

Sustaining the region’s strong position in the life-sciences sector will require investment and education in bioengineering.
