Don Pettit has returned to Earth after a seven-month mission aboard the International Space Station, wrapping up a journey filled with scientific exploration and cosmic milestones. Alongside Russian cosmonauts, Pettit not only logged tens of millions of miles and thousands of Earth orbits but also celebrated his 70th birthday in style — with a parachute-assisted […]

PUNCH, a bold new NASA mission, has successfully taken its first images of the Sun’s corona from orbit using four suitcase-sized satellites acting in unison. These nimble spacecraft will capture how the outer solar atmosphere transforms into solar wind — a dynamic force that shapes our solar system. With pioneering imaging and water-powered thrusters, PUNCH […]

PRRDetect is a new algorithm that identifies tumors with faulty DNA repair, helping doctors tailor cancer treatments more effectively. It marks a major step in using genomics for personalized cancer therapy. Researchers have developed a highly accurate algorithm, named PRRDetect, designed to identify tumors with specific DNA repair defects, an advancement that could significantly improve […]

Waist circumference is a stronger predictor of obesity-related cancer risk than BMI in men, but not in women, due to differences in fat distribution and metabolic activity. Body size and excess weight, commonly assessed using body mass index (BMI), are well-established risk factors for many types of cancer. However, new research to be presented at […]

POSTECH scientists developed a high-entropy alloy that stays strong and flexible from –196 °C to 600 °C, opening new possibilities for aerospace, automotive, and energy applications. A research team at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology), led by Professor Hyoung Seop Kim from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, the Graduate Institute of Ferrous Technology, […]

A White-necked Jacobin chick may use mimicry or camouflage to avoid predators, resembling a caterpillar with fluffy feathers. Some scientific discoveries take years of research. Others begin with a single curious observation—and, as Jay Falk, a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Fellow working at the University of Colorado Boulder and the Smithsonian Tropical Research […]
