Analyzing the Risk of Catastrophic Antarctic Ice Shelf Collapse From Surface Melting
There’s a speed limit on the damage surface ponds can do to ice shelves, but that doesn’t mean they’re not dangerous. Dangers to ancient Antarctic…

Thanks to new technology that enables them to create simple tools, robots may be on the verge of their own version of the Stone Age….
When the universe was still a baby – less than 1 billion years old – some of its stars turned into monster black holes. A…
Black holes form when stars die, allowing the matter in them to collapse into an extremely dense object from which not even light can escape….
When dehydration strikes, part of the brain can swell, neural signaling can intensify, and doing monotonous tasks can get harder. With the help of brain…
In popular culture, asteroids play the role of apocalyptic threat, get blamed for wiping out the dinosaurs — and offer an extraterrestrial source for mineral…
Got a sore throat? The doctor may write a quick prescription for penicillin or amoxicillin, and with the stroke of a pen, help diminish public…
Somewhere in our galaxy, an exoplanet is probably orbiting a star that’s colder than our sun, but instead of freezing solid, the planet might be…
A newly published study adds evidence to one theory of how ancient black holes, about a billion times heavier than our sun, may have formed…
Using supercomputers like Stampede at the Texas Advanced Computing Center and Kraken at the National Institute for Computational Sciences, researchers try to predict and better…
A newly published study from researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology reveals how superlattices create molecular machines with hydrogen-bond “hinges” and moving “gears.” A…
