Every other Wednesday, like clockwork, my salary arrives in my bank account. By Thursday, most of it is gone.
Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have discovered an unexpected form of the Hall effect, overturning the long-held assumption that this electrical response only appears when a magnetic field po...
India aims to launch an Earth-imaging satellite toward geosynchronous orbit today (Sept. 3) —something it has never done successfully — and you can watch the action live.
The maritime disaster of 1912 wasn’t fully understood until the shipwreck was rediscoveredThe post40 Years Ago, Oceanographers Found the Wreckage of the RMS Titanicappeared first onNautilus.
The finding could eventually enable the use of DNA packaging in cells for disease diagnosis and treatment. In preserved cells, newly developed fluorescent probes allowed researchers to pinpoint indivi...
For generations, the lobster fishery has been central to the cultural and economic identity of Maine and Atlantic Canada. Predicting what the future holds for the species—and the people who depend on ...
Scientists discovered that more than 500 species of vesper bats possess two separate sets of antibody genes, an immune arrangement never before found in mammals. The surprising system could help expla...
The first-ever private mission to Venus is still groundbound due to delays with its launch vehicle, Rocket Lab's Neutron. But team members remain bullish on the groundbreaking mission.
Scientists found that bacterial blotch in white button mushrooms is caused by multiple bacteria, a discovery that could improve disease detection and lead to more sustainable treatments for growers. A...
Earth may have been pushed deeper into a global deep freeze by something surprisingly ordinary: salt. Around 700 million years ago, Earth entered periods of extreme glaciation known as Snowball Earth,...
Aging may be partly fueled by immune cells losing their ability to clear away damaged, inflammation-promoting cells. Blocking a single receptor restored that cleanup process in mice, reducing inflamma...
Genetic research revealed four distinct gentoo penguin species, including a newly identified species from the Kerguelen Islands. Scientists warn climate change may endanger several isolated island pop...
From the rock 'n' roll and punk scenes, soda fountains and graduation-week celebrations, surfers, skaters, ravers and the modern-day Eshay, generations of young Australians have been creating culture,...
A new national survey of informal supporters of people with disabilities who have received NDIS-funded behavior support services has identified wide variation in supporters' confidence in practitioner...

Chemical reactions at surfaces play a central role in many processes, including catalysis and materials synthesis. It is well known that the outcome of these reactions is influenced by the translation...
Weather forecasts rely on many different kinds of data, including temperature, humidity and wind. For the first time, researchers, including those at the University of Tokyo, have demonstrated that a ...
Technology companies are stepping up their climate commitments but not fast enough to counter rapidly growing energy needs linked to the artificial intelligence boom, a report said Wednesday.
A rare trio of hurricanes were churning through the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, which scientists attributed to waters warmed by a historically strong El Niño phenomenon.
