How do your cells decide which bodily parts to construct? Innovative new technology is assisting us in learning
In just a few days, a single fertilised egg can produce blood, brain, and skin cells. However, how do the earliest cells decide which bodily components to construct? How come certain cells know how to make kidneys while others start making skin right away?

Researchers believe they have identified two important microorganisms that cause multiple sclerosis.
Researchers have been searching the gut for bacteria in the microbiome that cause multiple sclerosis (MS) for decades. Two types of bacteria that hide in the small intestine are now clearly implicated by new evidence from a rare twin study.

One hundred million years ago, squids ruled the primordial waters.
We frequently envision enormous reptiles and shelled ammonites ruling the seas when we think of the ancient oceans. For many years, palaeontologists thought these animals had little competition and dominated the Mesozoic Era.

During Earth's previous global warming episodes, little marine animals have invariably become extinct.
Fusulines, which are shells tiny than a grain of sand, are some of the greatest pages in the extensive, detailed records of climate change kept by Earth's oceans.

Mars's mysterious ridges reveal a surprising past.
A new area with unique rock formations was recently reached by NASA's Mars Curiosity rover. These crisscrossing ridges, called "boxwork patterns," are unlike anything that has ever been observed on the Red Planet, and Curiosity is now getting its first up-close look.

According to a recent study, vitamin C significantly reduces skin ageing at the cellular and genetic level.
Our skin serves as our initial line of defence. The epidermis, the outermost layer, thins over time. It is no longer able to prevent external damage. The majority of this layer is made up of keratinocytes, which migrate upward to form the skin's barrier.

For the first time ever, scientists are able to teleport between quantum computers.
There is a catch to the promise of quantum computing: the more qubits you put into a single system, the more difficult it is to keep them in line. Researchers have attempted error correction, shielding, and even stacking qubits on top of each other, but stability continues to elude them.

One rock at a time, revealing Mars's buried history
The surface of Mars is only the first step in the exploration process. For this reason, the Perseverance rover from NASA is engaged in more than merely gathering core samples. Additionally, it is sifting through Martian pebbles in search of mysteries hidden behind the dusty exterior.

The 'cosmic web,' the universe's secret roads, is seen for the first time by astronomers.
Space isn't empty. Even the greatest telescopes have trouble seeing the minuscule strands of matter that are woven throughout it. This enormous network is known to astronomers as the cosmic web. It is the unseen framework that holds galaxies in place and directs their expansion.
