Very occasionally, Earth gets bombarded by a large meteorite. But every day, our planet gets pelted by space dust, micrometeorites that collect on Earth’s surface….
A “beating heart” of frozen nitrogen controls Pluto’s winds and may give rise to features on its surface, according to new research. Pluto’s renowned heart-shaped…
Echoes in gravitational wave signals suggest that a black hole’s event horizon may be more complicated than scientists presently believe. The first tentative detection of…
Gunakadeit joseeae is the most complete thalattosaur ever found in North America. Scientists at the University of Alaska Fairbanks have identified a new species of…
A study by the University of Bonn simulates a universe in which Newton’s laws are only valid to a limited extent. For the first time,…
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…
