NASA has finally shared details about the first analysis of samples taken from the asteroid Bennu using the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft in 2020. While NASA scientists are still working on documenting the ...

Early analysis of the asteroid Bennu sample returned by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission has revealed dust rich in carbon, nitrogen, and organic compounds, all of which are essential components for life as ...

Four principal methods govern the preparation of samples for XRF analysis, each representing a different trade-off between analytical quality and speed/cost of preparation. A method involving the ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, a group of researchers evaluated the prevalence of co-infection and intra-host recombination in over 2 million global Severe Acute Respiratory ...

Bennu is a roughly 0.3-mile-wide (500 meters) asteroid that orbits in near-Earth space. Scientists suspect it’s a chunk of a larger asteroid that broke off due to a collision farther out. Telescope ...

Rare earth elements (REEs) are vital in the production of high-specification electronic devices, including computer components, LEDs, smartphones, catalysts in electric motors (automotive), engines or ...

CRISPR-based genome engineering revolutionized the gene-editing field by making experimental workflows considerably easier, faster, and more efficient than previous methods. Still, generating reliable ...

Agricultural soil testing is critical to determining soil’s nutrient concentration and variability across your fields. It is ideal to test your fields’ soil at least every two to three years to inform ...
