Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), Chinese astronomers have investigated radio emission from a rotating radio transient known as RRAT J1854+0306. Results of the study, published April 15 on the preprint server arXiv, shed more light on the properties of this transient.

In a recent study, Dr. Vojtěch Dočekal and Professor Jan Veselý from the Department of Organic Chemistry at the Faculty of Science, Charles University, have unveiled a highly efficient method for the preparation of planar chiral substances. Their research, centered on organocatalytic desymmetrization, has been published in Nature Communications.
When our universe was less than half as old as it is today, a burst of energy that could cook a sun’s worth of popcorn shot out from somewhere amid a compact group of galaxies. Some 8 billion years later, radio waves from that burst reached Earth and were captured by a sophisticated low-frequency radio…
For ages now, plants have been the primary source of nutrition for animals and mankind. Additionally, plants are used for the extraction of various medicinal and therapeutic compounds. However, their indiscriminate use, along with the rising demand for food, underscores the need for novel plant breeding practices.
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are intense bursts of gamma radiation, typically generating more energy in a few seconds than the sun will produce over its ten-billion-year lifetime. These transient phenomena present one of the most challenging puzzles in astrophysics, dating back to their accidental discovery in 1967 by a nuclear surveillance satellite.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not just a buzzword, it's a game-changer in the stock market.

You know the gist rising rates of climate change on the global scale becoming more and more of a pressing issue. Scotland’s main issue is the increased rainfall that is a result of climate change. Scotland has experienced more events of heavy rainfall with, “the average between 2010 and 2019 was 9 percent wetter than the entire average from between the years of 1961 to 1990” (Historic Environment Scotland). This coincides with the rise of warm years. As this is projected to continue through the...

The Chief Nurse Research Internship programme is aimed at nurses, midwives and allied health professionals (NMAHPs) at the Trust who demonstrate a strong interest in clinical research and may aspire to explore this field further. The internship aims to develop those without much experience in research by providing training and mentorship opportunities in combination with protected time to facilitate the development of a research project relevant to their speciality and research interests. The...
