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…
By combining data from one of Cassini’s instruments, called CAPS (Cassini Plasma Spectrometer), researchers discovered that Dione’s exosphere contains molecules of oxygen. The researchers estimate…
Researchers from Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly) developed a bio-inspired robotic fish to mimic the tail propulsion of a swimming fish and conducted…
Researchers at Cornell University are designing robots that can autonomously traverse and manipulate a 3-D truss structure by using specially designed gears and joints to…
After a detailed structural analysis of 35 Torosaurus and Triceratops skulls, researchers at Yale University have determined that Torosaurus and Triceratops are different species, but…
Research complied from NASA’s Nimbus-7 satellite and the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Meteorological Satellite Program by senior research scientist Josefino Comiso shows how multi-year…
By measuring how well blood samples flow through a microfluidic device, researchers at Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Brigham and Women’s Hospital have…
Researchers continue to search for ways to filter out the CO2 generated by coal-burning power plants before it reaches the atmosphere, a process commonly known…
Physicists at the Max Planck Institute used a short electric pulse to change the magnetic transport properties of a material sandwich consisting of a ferroelectric…
Ten years and counting. The Thermal Emission Imaging System onboard NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter has taken nearly 500,000 images and circled Mars nearly 45,000 times…
Researchers were able to reverse Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice by blocking the enzyme known as HDAC2. With the number of worldwide Alzheimer’s victims expected to…
By analyzing earthshine and observing the Moon using ESO’s Very Large Telescope, researchers are using Earth as a benchmark for future discoveries of life elsewhere…
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have developed a “smart outlet” that includes four receptacles, each with voltage/current sensing; actuation (switching); a computer for implementing the…
Researchers at UCLA have shown that people with depression have increased connections among most brain areas. While studying the functional connections of the brain in…
A new study from UCLA showed that people with low levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their red blood cells scored lower on tests of…
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute have now clarified exactly how hydroxyl radicals, which oxidize volatile organic compounds such as methane and isoprene, are recycled…
