Periodical invasions of cicadas are common across the eastern United States and giant silk moths (Citheronia azteca) might have evolved to resemble cicadas as a…
Although elephants vanished from the United Arab Emirates a long time ago, it appears that footprints made roughly seven million years ago in the Arabian…
To help bring awareness to the importance of Earth’s groundwater, a new map showing the world’s groundwater supplies has been created in part from data…
Hidden beneath mounds of Earth, in the fertile crescent of the Middle East, lie overlooked networks of small settlements that date back millennia. Archaeologists are…
In search of better thermoelectric materials, a team of physicists turned to a material NASA engineers first used roughly 40 years ago for spacecraft design,…
Scientists are proposing the building of a hyper-accurate nuclear clock that would lose only one-tenth of a second over 14 billion years, the current age…
A new fossil of an extraordinarily large snake was discovered in the lowland tropics of northern Colombia, 60 miles from the Caribbean coast in Cerrejón….
In a method that appears to be 50 times more efficient than using X-rays, computer simulations showed that high-gain nuclear fusion is possible in a…
It has long been known that noise affects animal behavior, just look at our personal reactions and behaviors when stuck in a noisy city. But…
While on IODP Expedition 340T, a team of scientists were able to measure the geophysical properties of gabbroic rocks directly in place for the first…
New research has demonstrated that zooplankton in the Northern Gulf of Mexico accumulated toxic compounds derived from crude oil that rushed from the Macondo well…
A team of physicists are the first to successfully realize a quantum walk in two dimensions and believe by simulating these quantum walks, physicists could…
To better understand climate change and global warming, researchers realize that they must address carbon emissions. A new study suggests using deep saline aquifers that…
Scientists agree that the ocean levels are increasing as the global temperature warms, but how high they will go is the question. By studying where…
The world’s biggest squid species have developed over time huge eyes to give them advanced warning of approaching sperm whales. Colossal (15m) and giant squid…
Over the last six years, researchers at the Berkeley Lab have made great progress on APEX, an electron gun that operates at radio frequency in…
A new Italian experiment indicates that neutrinos stay within the speed of light. The findings were posted on arXiv.org as a preprint, and contradict rival…
