Achondroplasia dwarfism is the most common type of skeletal dysplasia. It’s the cause for 90% of cases of markedly short stature in people. Achondroplasia targets bone growth in the arms and legs.

The work was done by Haruki Takezawa and Kei Hirose at the University of Tokyo and colleagues, who suggest that Earth’s core could host a vast reservoir of primordial helium-3 – reshaping our ...

Astrophotography is hard but it doesn't need to be. I've been testing the Dwarf 3 for the past two months and, not only has it changed my perspective on astrophotography without a bulky telescope ...

Observed by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the galaxy—designated JADES-GS-z14-0—is unexpectedly bright and chemically complex for an object from this primordial era, the researchers said.

Primordial helium from the beginning of the solar system may be stuck inside Earth's solid core, new research suggests. The findings could have implications for a long-standing debate about how ...

In fact, according to a team led by physicist Haruki Takezawa of the University of Tokyo, our planet's dense heart of iron could harbor a large reservoir of primordial helium. On Earth, helium comes ...
