Discovering unique microbes made easy using the DOE Systems Biological Knowledge Base (KBase)

Science microbes It is the basis of life on earth. These microorganisms play a major role in everything from converting sunlight to molecules essential for life. It helps produce a lot of oxygen in our atmosphere. They even rotate feeders between air and Soil. Scientists are constantly finding interactions between Microbes, plants, animals, and other … Read more

The team aims to find “Earth 2.0”

Newswise – Are there other Earth-like planets? Is there life outside the planet Earth? In the quest to find planets orbiting stars other than the sun, “Earth 2.0” is the holy grail. Earth 2.0 is a planet similar enough to Earth to enable the existence of life as we know it. It would be the … Read more

Confirmation of PPPL’s ​​breakthrough of the main theory behind the formation of planets, stars, and supermassive black holes

Newswise – The first laboratory investigation of the ancient, previously unconfirmed theory of the puzzling formation of planets, stars and supermassive black holes has been produced by spinning surrounding material at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). This startling confirmation culminates more than 20 years of experimentation at PPPL, the … Read more

The zebrafish model helps explain the evolution of the eye

Newswise — Scientists at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have developed a zebrafish model of NEDBEH — a rare genetic disorder that can cause coloboma, in which parts of the eye are missing due to developmental defects. The model provides a new tool for understanding the embryonic development of the eye. NEI is part of … Read more
