Suspect in MIT Professor’s Death Was an Ex-Classmate from Portugal, Prosecutors Say Nuno F.G. Loureiro, the professor, and the man suspected in his killing attended the same physics program in Portugal during the 1990s. Indian mathematician's genius formula from a century ago might explain the dark secrets of black holes Indian scientists have unearthed a surprising connection between Srinivasa Ramanujan's 1914 pi formulas and modern physics, particularly theories describing black holes and turbulent fluids. These extraordinary mathematical insights, previously unexplained, now appear to mirror the underlying mathematics of systems exhibiting scale invariance and extreme change, offering new avenues for scientifi… Rocket Lab launches 4 novel DiskSat satellites for U.S. Space Force, NASA The STP-S30 mission was moved up five months on the launch manifest for Rocket Lab.

Trump administration, Congress move to cut off transgender care for children U.S. officials are proposing new restrictions that would effective ban gender-affirming care for minors. The 98% mystery: Scientists just cracked the code on “junk DNA” linked to Alzheimer’s Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human astrocytes, scientists identified around 150 that truly influence gene activity—many tied to known Alzheimer’s risk genes. The findings help explain why many disease-linked genetic changes sit outsi… Expert tips for getting better sleep An expert digs into the importance of sleep, the sleep-stress cycle, and some tips for getting a good night's rest. |
