July 16, 2026 How the trend for turning front gardens into driveways is adding to night‑time heat by Karina Corada-Pérez, The Conversation edited by Gaby Clark , reviewed by An...
The geometry of a hidden dimension may naturally explain dark matter resonance and its elusive behavior. Every galaxy appears to carry far more mass than telescopes can see. That invisible material, k...
New research led by scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California has revealed the identity of a puzzling near-Earth object by precisely tracking its motion through space and u...
Study Finds SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Expression in Some Post-Vaccination and Post-Infection Skin Biopsies—but Raises More Questions Than Answers
Zombie, or senescent, cells accumulate in our body with age, when we become less able to clear them. But a study in mice suggests that a drug could restore this ability and improve ageing outcomes
"It's in the habitable zone, which is super exciting for astrobiology and habitability and searching for life."
Cat-sized tyrannosaur hatchlings had lots and lots of siblingsThe postSmall, Cheap, and Full of Teeth: Baby Tyrannosaurs Were Plentiful and Precociousappeared first onNautilus.
A new analysis from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the Illinois Soybean Association finds that Illinois corn and soybean farmers could lose up to $609 million per year—representing a ...
Fossil finds are exciting moments that sometimes introduce the world to an ancient mammal or dinosaur that existed millions of years ago. But a longstanding problem in paleontology is that fossils are...
In everyday life, people often joke about "stalking" someone on social media or describe someone's behavior as a bit "stalky." But these casual uses of the word can blur the reality of stalking as a s...
Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and Kiel University (CAU) have examined immune system function in an early-branching animal—a sea anemone. They discovered that the immune s...
Nearly a decade after the discovery of LHS 1140b, a rocky exoplanet in the habitable zone of a nearby low-mass star, a new study reveals that the object may have its own atmosphere.
For the first time, researchers have developed a way to create chilled molecules containing the radioactive element radium. The resulting laboratory concoctions, generated in part through steps simila...
In a major milestone in the search for life on other planets, astronomers have detected, for the first time, an atmosphere surrounding an Earth-like, rocky planet orbiting within the habitable zone of...
Hiroshima University researchers have used genome editing to transform red perilla into a green look-alike and simultaneously restructured the plant's chemistry to boost levels of compounds prized for...
An international team of researchers, including scientists from Utrecht University and the University of Maryland, has reconstructed the concentration of clumped isotopes of methane in air from the pa...
Some researchers are leaning into biology for inspiration in computing. In particular, neuromorphic computing offers a brain-inspired approach to hardware that replaces traditional binary processing w...
Two weeks ago, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology recorded three distinct, short-lived explosions in less than five minutes at Taal Volcano. The eruption sent a column of ash and s...
Many of the advanced electronic components surrounding us in everyday life rely on polar materials to function. Polar materials have an uneven distribution of electric charge. This gives them a positi...
Climate lawsuits seeking massive damages from fossil fuel companies increasingly hinge on the question: How reliably can scientists pin specific extreme weather events on human-caused climate change?
