Methane may not be as abundant in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, but with a global warming potential many times greater than carbon dioxide, monitoring…
The University of North Carolina School of Medicine lab of Camille Ehre, Ph.D., generated high-powered microscopic images showing startlingly high SARS-CoV-2 viral loads on human…
How fast is the universe expanding? We don’t know for sure. Astronomers study cosmic expansion by measuring the Hubble constant. They have measured this constant…
Ocean algae get ‘coup de grace’ from viruses. Viruses don’t immediately kill algae but live in harmony with them. Scientists have long believed that ocean…
Researchers at MIPT Laboratory of Terahertz Spectroscopy together with their Russian and international colleagues discovered a new phase of nanoconfined water; separate water molecules that…
Thanks to the sniffling noses, coughs, and colds that accompany the colder months of the year, we are all too familiar with the seasonal patterns…
An international team of astronomers today announced the discovery of a rare molecule — phosphine — in the clouds of Venus. This detection could point…
A much richer picture of the past revealed with new DNA recovery technique. Researchers at McMaster University have developed a new technique to tease ancient…
During her first mission to space and to the International Space Station, Kate Rubins became the first person to sequence DNA in space. During her…
Owners of bulldogs, French bulldogs, and pugs are highly likely to want to own their breed again in the future, and to recommend their breed…
The closest analog to modern times is no longer very close, study finds. A new study of an ancient period that is considered the closest…
Archaeologists find that unglazed ceramic cookware absorbs the chemical residue of present and past meals. If you happen to dig up an ancient ceramic cooking…
Time-sensitive neurons fatigue and skew our perception of time. On some days, time flies by, while on others it seems to drag on. A new…
Update (January 28, 2021): New research indicates it was ordinary sulfur dioxide that was detected, rather than phosphine. Astronomers May Have Found a Signature of…
New study details the molecular-level design of materials that enable clean and sustainable water evaporation energy to be harvested and efficiently converted into motion with…
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientists have isolated the smallest biological molecule to date that completely and specifically neutralizes the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is…
Some but not all U.S. metro areas could grow all the food they need locally, according to a new study estimating the degree to which…
