DNVN - In a new study, University of California, Irvine astronomers describe how extraterrestrial life has the potential to exist on distant exoplanets inside a special area called the "terminator zone," which is a ring on planets that have one side that always faces its star and one side that is always dark.

DNVN - The deep ocean circulation that forms around Antarctica could be headed for collapse, say scientists.

DNVN - Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system capable of generating synthetic enzymes from scratch. In laboratory tests, some of these enzymes performed as well as those found in nature, even though their amino acid sequences differed significantly from those of any known natural protein.

DNVN - Researchers have applied a deep learning technique to a previously studied dataset of nearby stars and uncovered eight previously unidentified signals of interest.

DNVN - A team led by UCL and UCLH researchers have mapped the parts of the brain that support our ability to solve problems without prior experience -- otherwise known as fluid intelligence.

DNVN - A new gelatinous robot that can crawl, powered solely by temperature change and clever design, adds "a sort of intelligence" to the field of soft robotics.

DNVN - The twin planets Kepler-138 c and d appear to be water worlds with steamy atmospheres and oceans comprising 50 percent of their total volume.

DNVN - Up to one-fifth of postpartum women suffer from a mental health disorder such as postpartum depression or generalised anxiety disorder.

DNVN - According to a study conducted by Washington State University, sleep quality affected women's mood and altered how they felt about advancing in their careers. In contrast, sleep quality had no influence on men's aspirations.

DNVN - On December 11, the Orion spacecraft splashed down off the coast of California, concluding the Artemis I mission and paving the way for NASA astronauts to return to the moon.

DNVN - The Japanese Hakuto-R lunar lander hopes to be the first privately-funded spacecraft to land on the moon.

DNVN - Theoretically, physicists have figured out how to determine whether a black hole is actually a wormhole that could be traversed, but we cannot tell with the black holes we have observed.

DNVN - Leprosy-causing bacteria have been found to reprogram liver cells in armadillos and cause the organ to regrow, suggesting that new treatments may be possible.

DNVN - The development of an invisibility cloak was aided by artificial intelligence. The cloak could conceal communication devices from microwave or infrared detectors.

DNVN - Scientists have discovered three strange asteroids that orbit relatively close to the sun; one is the sun's closest known neighbor, and another may strike Earth in the future.
