Cosmic rays and their byproduct, muons, may help scientists study tornado formation by detecting pressure changes remotely. This technique would avoid the need for direct measurements within ...

Use your computer as a cosmic ray detector! One of the memory errors Rust does not protect against.

DNA damage can persist unrepaired for years, particularly in blood stem cells, increasing the risk of mutations and cancer. This discovery challenges traditional views on mutation processes and ...

Dr. Millikan recognized this ray ten years ago and called it the cosmic ray. He found that it penetrated 50 ft. of lead, 200 ft. of water. Last year Professor Auguste Piccard, cruising into ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) DNA damage in healthy cells can persist unrepaired for years, challenging traditional views on mutation formation. This persistence allows multiple opportunities ...

Something strange is happening to the dogs of Chernobyl—their DNA is changing at an unbelievable rate. Scientists have ...

Cosmic rays coming from outside the Solar System bring these particles closer to the Sun, where they experience changes caused by heat and other types of solar energy. It is possible that ...

Most dividing cells in the body have well-defined checkpoint mechanisms to sense and correct DNA damage during DNA replication. Neurons, however, do not divide. For this reason, they are at ...
