During the year, the Sun appears to move along a path in the sky known as the ecliptic. The Earth’s equator, or its sky equivalent called the celestial equator, is offset from the ecliptic by 23.5°. This means that for 6 months, either the northern or southern hemisphere faces towards the Sun whi...

Throwback Thursday! In 2016, researchers from Columbia University developed a program that utilizes gene expression information to identify individual proteins that cause tumor growth.

Medical researchers developed a computational analysis technique, called VIPER, that can predict how cancer cells respond to drugs.

Astronomers are attempting to identify the source of mysterious short-wavelength radiation emanating from somewhere outside the galaxy, known as the extragalactic gamma-ray background.

Researchers found that distant star-forming galaxies can only account for about half of the radiation from outside the Milky Way Galaxy.

Researchers estimated that the oceans could have become up to 5 times more acidic during a massive release of carbon dioxide 56 million years ago.

Geologists found that a short-term carbon cycle feedback 56 million years ago changed Earth's climate and killed off animals.

Researchers at UC-Davis identified proteins released by solid tumors that can break down a key part of our immune system and weaken its ability to kill cancer cells.

Scientists found that a weakness in an immune protein makes humans more vulnerable to cancer.

Rare earth elements (REEs) are essential for digital electronics, but they're found in only four countries worldwide. Researchers recently explored whether a circular economy could help recycle in-use REE reserves and expand their global availability.

Scientists proposed that countries adopt a new economic strategy to distribute global rare earth element reserves.

Astronomers used light emissions from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s Very Large Array to track what happens to galaxies after they fall into clusters.

Researchers used light emissions to reconstruct the evolution of galaxies that fall into clusters in deep space.
