By creating protocells in hot, alkaline seawater, a University College London-led research team has added to evidence that the origin of life could have been…
Giant ridges on the surface of landslides on Mars could have formed without ice, challenging their use by some as unequivocal evidence of past ice…
Polluting emissions from Chinese thermal power plants declined significantly between 2014 and 2017, according to research involving the University College London. The reductions are important…
The study, published today in Advanced Theory and Simulations, shows that digital computers cannot reliably reproduce the behavior of ‘chaotic systems’ which are widespread. This…
One of the most common antidepressants, sertraline, leads to an early reduction in anxiety symptoms, commonly found in depression, several weeks before any improvement in…
The intensity of brain activity during the day, notwithstanding how long we’ve been awake, appears to increase our need for sleep, according to a new…

Artificial intelligence has been used to analyze high-resolution digital x-ray images of the world-famous Ghent Altarpiece, as part of an investigative project led by UCL….
Using ESA’s XMM-Newton and NASA’s Chandra X-ray observatories, astronomers reveal that Jupiter’s intense northern and southern lights pulse independently of each other. The study, published…
Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory, astronomers show that solar storms trigger Jupiter’s intense ‘Northern Lights’ by generating a new X-ray aurora that is…
New measurements from ESA’s CryoSat Satellite show that the volume of Arctic sea ice increased following the unusually cool summer of 2013, suggesting that ice…
New research reveals that Titan’s atmosphere is even more Earth-like than previously thought and provides evidence for why Titan’s atmosphere is losing about seven tonnes…
New research led by the University College London shows that a third of oil reserves, half of gas reserves and over 80% of current coal…
Researchers from University College London and the University of New South Wales have developed a new model that focuses on methane to detect life on…
A newly published study reveals that the Third Law of Thermodynamics can be restored in thin films of the magnetic material spin ice. Thin films…
In a newly published study, researchers from the University College London detail the transfer of energy from plant cells predicted by quantum physics. Light-gathering macromolecules…
New research presented to the European Planetary Science Congress at UCL aims to explore how atmospheric biomarkers from faraway planets might be detected in the…
Archaeologists from the University College London have discovered ancient Egyptian iron beads that were made from meteoritic iron, rather than iron ore. Researchers have shown…
