2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Prediction vs. Reality

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY

Before a total solar eclipse crossed North America on April 8, 2024, scientists at Predictive Science Inc. of San Diego aimed to foresee what the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona, would look like during totality. The predictions help researchers understand the accuracy of their models of the Sun’s corona, which extends along its magnetic field. […]

Researchers Develop ‘Founding Document’ on Synthetic Cell Development

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY

Cells are the fundamental units of life, forming the variety of all living things on Earth as individual cells and multi-cellular organisms. To better understand how cells perform the essential functions of life, scientists have begun developing synthetic cells – non-living bits of cellular biochemistry wrapped in a membrane that mimic specific biological processes. The […]
