Researcher uses hydrostatic pressure to understand RNA dynamics
Just as space holds infinite mysteries, when we zoom in at the level of biomolecules (one trillion times smaller than a meter), there is still so much to learn.

An international team of astronomers has performed X-ray, ultraviolet, and optical observations of an X-ray source known as 1RXS J165424.6-433758. Results of the observational campaign, published June 8 on the pre-print server ...
Extremely intense X-ray pulses can determine the positions of some hydrogen atoms in organic molecules that form small crystals, an all-RIKEN team has shown. Many areas, including drug discovery and materials research, stand ...

Harvard University led research may have solved the puzzle of how life became molecularly right-handed. In the paper, "Origin of biological homochirality by crystallization of an RNA precursor on a magnetic surface," published ...
The bright, red star Betelgeuse in the constellation Orion has shown some unexpected behavior. In late 2019 and 2020 it became fainter than we had ever seen it—at least in records going back more than a century. Briefly ...
