Paleontologists have examined two exceptional specimens of the end-Cretaceous, duck-billed dinosaur Edmontosaurus annectens. Using an array of imaging...
The most iconic mass extinction in Earth history occurred around 66 million years ago, as rapid environmental destruction led to the extinction of around...
In a new study, University of New South Wales Professor Mike Archer and colleagues re-examined the fossilized tibia (lower leg bone) of a now-extinct,...
Knots emerge in various fields of mathematics and physics today. A team of physicists from Japan and Germany suggests that, during the early Universe,...
This streamer of gas is channeling matter from the surrounding cloud of a star-forming region in Perseus directly onto a newborn binary star system called...
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse disrupted light-dark cycles for North American birds during the lead-up to spring reproduction. Compiling more...
Using a combination of the Subaru Telescope, the W. M. Keck Observatory, ESA’s Gaia mission, astronomers have imaged a brown-dwarf companion around the...
Paleoanthropologists have unearthed and examined a hominin partial skeleton that includes hand and foot bones unambiguously associated with skull elements...
Several hominids — Australopithecus africanus, Paranthropus robustus, early Homo sp., Gigantopithecus blacki, Pongo sp., Papio sp., Homo neanderthalensis,...
The Galactic Center excess is an unexpected concentration of gamma-rays emerging from the center of our Milky Way Galaxy.
This view shows the entire sky...
In new research, paleoanthropologists from the United States and Canada analyzed the morphology of a hominin talus (large bone in the ankle that joins...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected doubly deuterated water (D2O), or ‘heavy water,’ in the protoplanetary...
Scientists have demonstrated that supercompressed water transforms into ice VI at room temperature through multiple freezing-melting pathways, which occur...
Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) seed extract as well as its main bioactive ingredient, 1,8-cineole, have the potential to act as a beneficial antiviral...
On some of the dune fields on Mars, parallel channels, called linear dune gullies, are found. Contrary to their name these gullies are often highly sinuous....
In 2024, a major new sauropod dinosaur track site was uncovered at Dewars Farm Quarry, near Bicester in Oxfordshire, England. This year, paleontologists...
Exploring the possibility of the survival of life under extraterrestrial conditions is an important goal of astrobiology. In a new study, scientists used...
This happens due to plate tectonics and movements in the bedrock, caused by the large ice sheets on top melting and reducing pressure on the subsurface,...
