In this episode of Curious by Nature, we sat down with Dr. Elise Wang, an assistant professor at Cal State University, Fullerton, and a medievalist who specialized in the literature, history, and lore of the medieval period. Dr. Wang discussed her work teaching early literature courses and her research into conspiracy theories, examining them as narratives.
Entre los ardientes p茅talos de la Nebulosa Roseta se encuentra el joven c煤mulo estelar NGC 2244, cuyas estrellas alimentan la nebulosa ilumin谩ndola con vibrantes tonos de rojo, oro y p煤rpura, junto con opacas torres de polvo que se elevan desde las ondulantes nubes que rodean su n煤cleo. Esta imagen, captada por la C谩mara de Energ铆a Oscura de 570 megap铆xeles, se publica para celebrar el quinto aniversario de NOIRLab.
Cradled within the fiery petals of the Rosette Nebula is NGC 2244, the young star cluster which it nurtured. The cluster鈥檚 stars light up the nebula in vibrant hues of red, gold and purple, and opaque towers of dust rise from the billowing clouds around its excavated core. This image, captured by the 570-megapixel Dark Energy Camera, is being released in celebration of NOIRLab鈥檚 fifth anniversary.
Two University of Miami alumnae take the fishing world by storm
Nearly 40 percent of cancer patients who experienced memory loss, brain fog and other cognitive difficulties after radiation treatment for brain metastases regained full neurocognitive function within six months, according to a new analysis by radiation oncology researchers at the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC).
Researchers explored how infants act purposefully by attaching a colorful mobile to their foot and tracking movements with a Vicon 3D motion capture system. The study tested AI's ability to detect changes in infant movement patterns. Findings showed that AI techniques, especially the deep learning model 2D-CapsNet, effectively classified different stages of behavior. Notably, foot movements varied significantly. Looking at how AI classification accuracy changes for each baby gives researchers a new way to understand when and how they start to engage with the world.
When Kelly Gould became pregnant with her son, the Las Vegas resident, like any mother-to-be, was worried about potential complications. Still, when her doctor recommended further genetic testing after a routine 30-week growth scan, she was caught off guard.
Dr. Kyoungseon Min's research team at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed a process to produce enantioselective bio-aviation fuel precursors ((R)-gamma-valerolactone) from seaweed.
As part of the global effort to harness power from fusing plasma, PPPL and the University of Seville鈥檚 Plasma Science and Fusion Technology Lab worked on the computer codes, engineering and physics for a new and unique fusion reactor: the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak.
Como parte del esfuerzo internacional para el desarrollo de la fusi贸n nuclear como fuente de energ铆a, PPPL contribuye al desarrollo y explotaci贸n cient铆fica del SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak, SMART, de la Universidad de Sevilla, con algunas de las simulaciones num茅ricas, ingenier铆a y f铆sica del plasma m谩s avanzadas hasta la fecha.
Dr. Dave Rackstraw, a senior scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is transforming science education using smartphones.
Combining two techniques, analytical chemists at the Department of Energy鈥檚 Oak Ridge National Laboratory became the first to detect fluorine and different isotopes of uranium in a single particle at the same time.
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered that the blowtorch-like jet blasting from a supermassive black hole at the core of galaxy M87 seems to cause stars to erupt along its trajectory. The stars, called novae, are not caught inside the jet, but are apparently in a dangerous neighborhood nearby. Hubble found twice as many novae going off near the jet as elsewhere in the giant galaxy during the surveyed time period.
The discovery of new cynodont fossils from southern Brazil by a team of palaeontologists from the University of Bristol, alongside colleagues from Argentina and Brazil, has led to a significant breakthrough in understanding the evolution of mammals.
A research team at the Department of Energy鈥檚 Oak Ridge National Laboratory created a novel advanced microscopy tool to 鈥渨rite鈥� with atoms, placing those atoms exactly where they are needed to give a material new properties.
Scientists at ORNL used neutrons to end a decades-long debate about an enzyme cancer uses. Their findings can support the design of an inhibitor that can target aggressive cancers.
Observaciones realizadas con la C谩mara de Energ铆a Oscura (DECam, por sus siglas en ingl茅s) confirman las expectativas de los astr贸nomos de que los cu谩sares del Universo primitivo se formaron en regiones del espacio densamente pobladas con galaxias compa帽eras. El enorme campo de visi贸n de DECam y sus filtros especiales jugaron un papel fundamental para llegar a esta conclusi贸n. Adem谩s, estas observaciones revelan la raz贸n por la que los estudios previos que buscaban caracterizar la densidad de los vecindarios de los cu谩sares en el Universo primitivo arrojaban resultados contradictorios.
Observations using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) confirm astronomers鈥� expectation that early-Universe quasars formed in regions of space densely populated with companion galaxies. DECam鈥檚 exceptionally wide field of view and special filters played a crucial role in reaching this conclusion, and the observations reveal why previous studies seeking to characterize the density of early-Universe quasar neighborhoods have yielded conflicting results.
A poll of people over the age of 50 shows that just under half are likely to get the updated COVID-19 vaccine, though those in the highest-risk age groups are more likely.
