Giant Oligocene Kairuku Penguins Stood Nearly Five Feet Tall
Paleontologists have reconstructed a model of the Kairuku penguin that stood almost 4 feet 6 inches (1.46 meters) in height in what’s now New Zealand….

Powerful magnetic disturbances in Sol’s corona have hurled a large burst of charged particles into space on March 4th. The solar storm erupted from the…
A new publication demonstrates that the dynamics of a system of ultracold potassium atoms, trapped in an optical lattice, depend surprisingly strongly on the particle…
The chemical weathering process of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolving in rainwater to form carbonic acid, which dissolves rocks and then flows into the…
Electron ptychography is set to revolutionize the electron microscope. By doing away with the lens, electron ptychography forms the image by reconstructing the scattered electron…
Improvements in polymer solar cell technology continue as a new report documents the highest independently measured efficiency for a polymer solar cell, 10.6+/-0.3% with respect…
A new study could enable scientists to synthesize many important chemicals currently found only in nature. The research shows how scientists used powerful X-rays to…
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers probed the atmosphere around the transiting super-Earth known as GJ1214b and concluded that unless the atmosphere has a thick…
A new study identified the protein phosphatase SHP2 as an important player in the signaling cascades governing tumor-initiating cells. The scientists found that SHP2 plays…
Images in visible and infrared light taken with the Wide Field Channel of Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys show the Antlia Dwarf galaxy that was…
New findings show a non-invasive way to administer anxiolytic neuropeptide S (NPS). While working with mice, the findings show that intranasally administered neuropeptide S was…
Using gravitational lensing, a team of scientists believed they have observed dark matter in Abell 520. The dark matter is not behaving as predicted and…
Three years after their initial encounter, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have explained what’s happening with the “nanoscale crop…
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne and Thomas Jefferson National Laboratories have demonstrated that a quarter of the nucleons in a dense nucleus…
A computational epigenetics research group at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken is using software programs to rummage through the genomes of cancer…
Researchers at UCLA have found a way to prevent a protein called α-synuclein from forming “clumps,” which become toxic and kill the brain’s neurons in…
While analyzing samples of submarine volcanic glass near subduction zones, scientists found something unexpected. They saw changes in isotopes of hydrogen and boron from the…
A team of researchers has detected all phases of thermonuclear burning in a neutron star located close to the center of the galaxy in the…
