Reproduce or it didn’t happen: why replicable science is better science

Reproducibility is the essence of scientific truth. Karl Popper wrote non-reproducible single occurrences are of no significance to science. To improve reproducibility, robust experimental design, better stats, data sharing, authenticated biomaterials, publishing negative data, better mentorship needed. We can't depend on one outcome/study. It's our collective responsibility to ensure reproducibility.

New ‘quantum engine’ does work by flipping the identity of atoms

Physicists have created a ‘quantum engine’ to convert the energy difference between two quantum states - fermionic and bosonic - of some atoms into work. The device adapts the principles of a classical engine to subatomic realm, allowing physicists to study quantum thermodynamics with better control and to potentially better…

Hope in organ transplant: Monkey who received a pig kidney survives for two years

Scientists find the last remnants of the human genome that were missing in the Y chromosome

More than 20 years ago, the human genome was first sequenced. While the first version was full of “holes” representing missing DNA sequences, the genome has been gradually improved in successive rounds. Each has increased the quality of the genome and, in so doing, resolved most of the blank spaces…
