NASA’s latest launch into outer space is going to make an impact. In fact, that’s its entire mission. DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test), which launched…
Panicked purchasing, empty store shelves, long lines at the gas station—given supply chain woes, is that America for the foreseeable future? Yes and no, said…
PhD student discovers that solar radiation could be a more important source of lunar iron nanoparticles than previously thought. Tiny iron nanoparticles unlike any found…
Results demonstrate the power of nickel isotope analyses, which are relatively new, to solve long-standing problems in the geosciences. The most severe mass extinction event…
Just a few bacterial taxa found in ecosystems across the planet are responsible for more than half of carbon cycling in soils. These new findings,…
Archaeologists at Northern Arizona University are hoping a new technology they helped pioneer will change the way scientists study the broken pieces left behind by…
COVID-19 Virus Triggers Antibodies From Previous Coronavirus Infections Findings may also explain how previous exposure could partially account for differences in severity between old vs….
Earth’s ability to absorb nearly a third of human-caused carbon emissions through plants could be halved within the next two decades at the current rate…
Centaurs are minor planets believed to have originated in the Kuiper Belt in the outer solar system. They sometimes have comet-like features such as tails…
Map features greenhouse gas emissions across the entire US landscape at high space- and time-resolution with details on economic sector, fuel, and combustion process. With…
International team of researchers finds the region has become greener as warmer air and soil temperatures lead to increased plant growth. As Arctic summers warm,…
Comprehensive compilation of pre-historic temperature records shows that global warming is reaching levels not seen for at least 6,000 years. Over the past 150 years,…
Data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope helped astronomers discover that the large asteroid called Don Quixote is in fact a comet. For 30 years, a…
