The transition could lead to advances in data storage, microelectronics, and sensors. Inverse transitions seem to contradict the fundamental law that disorder increases with temperature….
Several groups of reptiles persisted in Jurassic Africa even as volcanism ruined their habitat. In southern Africa, dinosaurs and synapsids, a group of animals that…
ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano returned to Earth today alongside NASA astronaut Christina Koch and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov, marking the end of his second six-month…
“Abnormal” behavior predicted more than 50 years ago may help scientists probe the atmosphere and gauge the environment. Researchers at Tel Aviv University have for…
Simple, solar-powered water desalination system achieves new level of efficiency in harnessing sunlight to make fresh potable water from seawater. A completely passive solar-powered desalination…
A new study in Genome Biology and Evolution, published by Oxford University Press, resurrected the mutated genes of the last herd of woolly mammoths and…
Scientists studying so-called ‘flammable ice’ in the Sea of Japan have made a startling discovery — the existence of life within microscopic bubbles. The microhabitats…
Symmetry has been one of the guiding principles in physicists’ search for fundamental laws of nature. What does it mean that laws of nature have…
University of Ottawa researchers develop technique to predict impact of climate change on species extinction risk. When you were young, were you the type of…
Scientists have demonstrated a key technology in making next-generation high-energy particle accelerators possible. Particle accelerators are used to probe the make-up of matter in colliders…
Allen Lawrence, wrapping up a long career as an electrical engineer, was serious about moving his astronomy hobby beyond the 20-inch (51-centimeter) telescope he’d hauled…
Citizen science reveals the presence of the flatworms in gardens in three quarters of metropolitan France. One of the consequences of globalization is the inadvertent…
‘Chan Hol 3,’ like other Tulum cave skeletons, has tooth cavities and a distinctive skull compared to other early American settlers. A new skeleton discovered…
Generating electricity from raindrops efficiently has gone one step further. A research team led by scientists from the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has…
XMM-2599 lived fast and died young, says University of California, Riverside-led international team. An international team of astronomers led by scientists at the University of…
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which ESO is a partner, have spotted a peculiar gas cloud that resulted from a confrontation…
Discovery of cellular mechanisms could open door to more effective anti-aging therapies. Scientists at the MDI Biological Laboratory, in collaboration with scientists from the Buck…
