By SDCN Editor La Jolla, CA–Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego celebrated the arrival of more than 70 tiny newborn Weedy Seadragons, which are incredibly difficult to breed and rear in captivity, the aquarium said. Only a handful of facilities have successfully hatched and reared this unique species of fish […]
New pterosaur species with tiny hooked teeth discovered
By Newswise An unusual new species of pterosaur has been identified, which had over 400 teeth that looked like the prongs of a nit comb. The fossil was found in a German quarry and has been described by palaeontologists from England, Germany, and Mexico. Professor David Martill, the lead author of the research, from the […]
Little rodent, big appetite
By Newswise On an island 30 miles off the coast of San Francisco, a hoard of invasive house mice is packing an ecological wallop far larger than what their small statures would suggest. These are the conclusions of a study led by LSU Associate Professor of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences Michael Polito, along with researchers […]
Tiny swimming robots treat deadly pneumonia in mice
By Newswise La Jolla, CA–Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed tiny swimming robots, called microrobots, that can swim around in the lungs, deliver medication, and be used to clear up life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia. In mice, the microrobots safely eliminated pneumonia-causing bacteria in the lungs and resulted in 100% survival. […]
Marine researcher identifies new bottlenose dolphin subspecies
By Newswise A marine researcher at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science has identified a new bottlenose dolphin subspecies found only in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. “While there is a common belief that all dolphin species are already known, improvements in technologies and methodologies are helping to […]
Dept. of Energy announces $6.4 million for artificial intelligence research
By Newswise Washington, D.C.–The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $6.4 million in funding for three initial Department of Energy national lab-led team projects in artificial intelligence research for high energy physics. These awards support the DOE Office of Science (SC) initiative in artificial intelligence research to use AI techniques to deliver scientific discoveries that would not otherwise be possible and to broaden […]
NASA’s DART mission slams into asteroid in first-ever planetary defense test
After 10 months of flying in space, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) – the world’s first planetary defense technology demonstration – successfully impacted its asteroid target on Monday, the agency’s first attempt to move an asteroid in space. Mission control at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, announced the successful […]
NASA reveals Webb Telescope’s first images of unseen universe
The dawn of a new era in astronomy is here as the world gets its first look at the full capabilities of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a partnership with the European Space Agency and Canadian Space Agency. The full set of the telescope’s first full-color images and spectroscopic data, which uncover a collection of […]
Cleaning up online bots’ act – and speech
By Newswise Researchers develop a method to keep bots from using toxic language. Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed algorithms to rid speech generated by online bots of offensive language, on social media and elsewhere. Chatbots using toxic language is an ongoing issue. But perhaps the most famous example is Tay, […]
NASA’s mega moon rocket, spacecraft complete first roll to launch pad
NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft atop arrived at Launch Pad 39B at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida Friday in preparation for a final test before its Artemis I Moon mission. The uncrewed flight test will pave the way for missions to land the first woman and first person […]
