A team of astronomers from Taiwan, Canada, the United States, and France has observed 128 additional moons orbiting the gas giant Saturn, bringing its...
Pelage coloration, which serves numerous functions, is crucial to the evolution of behavior, physiology, and habitat preferences of mammals. However, little...
According to new research from Keele University and the Universidad de Alicante, near-Earth explosions of giant O- and B-type stars occur at a rate of...
Searching for land refugia becomes imperative for human survival during the hypothetical sixth mass extinction. Studying past comparable crises can offer...
Astrophysicists have found that a recently-discovered transient radio source, ILT J110160.52+552119.62, whose roughly minute-long pulses arrive with a...
Paleontologists have studied and described three previously unknown dinosaur track-bearing surfaces from a locality near Biloela in Queensland, Australia.

Organometallic molecules consist of a metal ion surrounded by a carbon-based framework. They are relatively common for early actinide elements like uranium...
Black holes may transition into white holes, ejecting matter and even time back into the Universe, according to a new study by physicists from the University...
For a century, astronomers have been studying Barnard’s star in the hope of finding planets around it. First discovered by E.E. Barnard at Yerkes Observatory...
A small mixodectid mammal called Mixodectes pungens had skeletal features adapted to living in trees, largely dined on leaves, and weighed about 1.3 kg,...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have explored the lowest mass limit of brown dwarfs within the Flame Nebula, a hotbed of...
The megatooth shark, Otodus megalodon, is an iconic shark represented primarily by its gigantic teeth in the Neogene fossil record, but the lack of well-preserved...
How lightning is started in thunderstorms is poorly known. With a newly-developed 3D mapping and polarization system, physicists at Los Alamos National...
Paleontologists working in northern Patagonia, Argentina, have unearthed the fossils of a previously unknown species of small rinconsaurian titanosaur.
Chadititan...
Physicists have long known that electrons can form vortices in quantum materials. What’s new is the proof that these tiny particles create tornado-like...
Arp 105 is characterized by a tidal tail of stars and gas more than 362,000 light-years long.
The elliptical galaxy NGC 3561B (upper left) and the spiral...
In new lab experiments, scientists at the University of Southern California showed that when mice encountered a familiar social partner in a state of unconsciousness...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have produced a spectacular image of the spiral galaxy NGC 4900.
This Hubble image shows NGC 4900,...
Paleontologists have described a new genus and species of extinct scorpion from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation of China.
Jeholia longchengi is the...
Two young protostars are responsible for the shimmering ejections of gas and dust that gleam in orange, blue, and purple in this color image of a portion...
