Scientists have reported detecting gravitational waves from 10 black hole mergers to date, but they are still trying to explain the origins of those mergers….
A NASA-funded study suggests winter carbon emissions in the Arctic may be adding more carbon into the atmosphere each year than is taken up by…
Scientists from Trinity College Dublin have taken a giant stride towards solving a riddle that would provide the world with entirely renewable, clean energy from…
LUX-ZEPLIN experiment’s central detector is successfully moved to its research cavern. Q: How do you get a 5,000-pound (2,300 kilograms), 9-foot-tall (2.7-meter-tall) particle detector, designed…
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have observed a galaxy in the distant regions of the Universe which appears duplicated at least 12 times…
NASA’s Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) telescope on the International Space Station detected a sudden spike of X-rays at about 10:04 p.m. EDT on…
Scientists from Germany and the United States have unveiled the results of a newly-completed, state of the art simulation of the evolution of galaxies. TNG50…
Molecular hydrogen (H2) makes up 99% of the cold dense gas in galaxies. So mapping where stars are born basically means measuring H2, which lacks…
New technique unexpectedly finds that black carbon in rivers and oceans differs significantly. In understanding the global carbon cycle, “black carbon” — decay-resistant carbon molecules…
University of Rochester researchers, inspired by diving bell spiders and rafts of fire ants, have created a metallic structure that is so water repellent, it…
Physicists get closer to solving the proton radius puzzle with unique new measurement of the charge radius of the proton. New measurement yields smaller proton…
Why is ice so slippery? The answer lies in a film of water that is generated by friction, one that is far thinner than expected…
Plants can help spruce up a home or office space, but claims about their ability to improve the air quality are vastly overstated, according to…
Extinct species rediscovered in Winterhoek mountains, South Africa, after 200 years. Last seen in 1804, psoralea cataracta was rediscovered by Brian du Preez, a Ph.D….
