Fifty years ago, astronomers discovered carbon monoxide in space. It allowed us to see dark regions of the universe, and helped us understand it more…
Climatic conditions are changing at an unprecedented rate, affecting mainly fish, amphibians and reptiles, ectothermic animals that are unable to generate their own internal heat….
Resting on the tail of the Great Bear in the constellation of Ursa Major, lies NGC 5585, a spiral galaxy that is more than it…
Hard skulls help protect our brains from physical injuries. In addition to a tough outer shell, brains have internal defenses, including a powerful shield called…
Physicists from Lancaster University have established why objects moving through superfluid helium-3 lack a speed limit in a continuation of earlier Lancaster research. Helium-3 is…
Stellar chemical compositions used as proxy for potentially habitable systems. A Southwest Research Institute scientist has identified stellar phosphorus as a probable marker in narrowing…
Building upon more than two decades of research, a new web-based platform called OpenET will soon be putting NASA data in the hands of farmers,…
Close bonds with the opposite sex can have non-romantic benefits. And not just for people, but for our primate cousins, too. Drawing on 35 years…
WhatsApp, Signal & Co: Billions of users vulnerable to privacy attacks. Researchers from the Technical University of Darmstadt and the University of Würzburg show that…
Biosolids are the driving force behind a sustainable new method for producing hydrogen from wastewater. Researchers have used biosolids to produce hydrogen from wastewater, in…
Researchers at Helmholtz Zentrum München and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed the world’s smallest ultrasound detector. It is based on miniaturized photonic…
It is generally accepted that the inner region of the early solar system was subject to an intense period of meteoric bombardment referred to as…
The single piece of glass produces crisp panoramic images. To capture panoramic views in a single shot, photographers typically use fisheye lenses — ultra-wide-angle lenses…
University of Alberta researchers worked with SLAC X-ray scientists to explore the potential of a feline coronavirus drug that may be effective against SARS-CoV-2. Researchers…
Update (January 28, 2021): New research indicates it was ordinary sulfur dioxide that was detected, rather than phosphine. An international team of astronomers recently announced the discovery…
Over the past month, dozens of wildfires have burned vast swathes of land in California, Oregon, and Washington State, killing more than 30 people and…
Solar Cycle 25 has begun. During a media event on Tuesday, experts from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) discussed their analysis…
