Using an innovative protein-based approach, researchers at the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center and nearby Emory University have found genes and corresponding proteins that could…
Microbes on your toothbrush match microbes inside your mouth. Good news: The bacteria living on your toothbrush reflect your mouth – not your toilet. After…
Want to improve your chances of making electricity from fusion? Look no further than the cleaners under your kitchen sink. Research led by scientists at…
A sea of dark dunes, sculpted by the wind into long lines, surrounds Mars’ northern polar cap and covers an area as big as Texas….
A new study shows that thick sea-ice can increase the sensitivity of Greenlandic fjords to climate warming. Understanding the factors that control how fast glaciers…
Astronomers have painted their best picture yet of an RV Tauri variable, a rare type of stellar binary where two stars – one approaching the…
This extraordinary image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the galaxy cluster Abell 2813 (also known as ACO 2813) has an almost delicate beauty,…
120-million-year-old animals evolved “scratch-digging” traits independently. Paleontologists have discovered two new species of mammal-like, burrowing animals that lived about 120 million years ago in what…
The human brain as we know it today is relatively young. It evolved about 1.7 million years ago when the culture of stone tools in…
Astronomers at Western University have discovered the most rapidly rotating brown dwarfs known. They found three brown dwarfs that each complete a full rotation roughly…
For two decades, the longest-lived spacecraft at the Red Planet has helped locate water ice, assess landing sites, and study the planet’s mysterious moons. NASA’s…
The melting rate of the Antarctic ice sheet is mainly controlled by the increase of ocean temperatures surrounding Antarctica. Using a new, higher-resolution climate model…
Earth’s sea level has remained fairly constant during the last 541 million years, but a new study suggests the planet may have been covered by…
A new artificial island near Malé could be a destination for people trying to escape rising waters on lower-lying islands. With more than 80 percent…
Research into the flower preferences of pollinating moths may have delivered a vital clue to the simple factors needed for the emergence of new species….
Lehigh researchers quantify the specific interaction between the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 — the virus that causes COVID-19 — with the ACE2 receptors in human…
JPL’s Lunar Crater Radio Telescope advanced concept is among the projects that have been selected for further research and development. NASA encourages researchers to develop…
The results indicate masks and proper ventilation may be key to allowing more capacity in schools, businesses, and other indoor areas. A new study from…
