And what better housewarming gift for a space enthusiast than the tree that started it all. The Malus pumila Rosaceae, or Flower of Kent, now growing heartily on McNeill's property, is one of a handful of scions, or cuttings, growing around New Zealand. The original is still standing at Woolsthorpe Manor, in Lincolnshire, in the United Kingdom, where Newton escaped a bubonic plague outbreak for what historians call his Year of Wonders, owing to his contributions to optics, physics and calculus. It was later propagated and planted in the grounds of the England’s National Physical Laborat...

By Kevin Krajick In 1966, U.S. Army scientists drilled through nearly a mile of ice in northwestern Greenland and pulled up a 15-foot-long core of sediment from the bottom. The sample, abandoned and largely forgotten in a series of freezers for decades, was accidentally rediscovered in 2017. Researchers who later examined it were stunned to find it contained not just the usual sand and rock found under glacial ice, but well-preserved remains of twigs and leaves—the first discovery of onetime plant life under this apparently long-frozen part of the world. In a new study published this week i...

Thu, 03/11/2021 LAWRENCE — Much like coronavirus, circulating HIV-1 viruses mutate into diverse variants that pose challenges for scientists developing vaccines to protect people from HIV/AIDS. “AIDS vaccine development has been a decades-long challenge partly because our immune systems have difficulty recognizing all the diverse variants of the rapidly mutating HIV virus, which is the cause of AIDS,” said Brandon DeKosky, assistant professor of pharmaceutical chemistry and chemical & petroleum engineering at the University of Kansas. In the past five years, tremendous progress has been...

March 8, 2021 NIST postdoctoral researcher and physicist Alejandra Collopy is part of a team making strides in understanding the world of atoms and molecules, a world that operates by the rules of quantum physics.  The U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the Nation's leading agency working with industry and science to advance innovation, enhance economic security and improve quality of life. And NIST is home to many women across the fields of science, engineering, and math (STEM) who make a daily impact on the social and economic conditions ...
