Planetary scientists expected the outermost layer of the crust of Earth’s hotter twin would grow thicker and thicker over time given its apparent lack...
Near-miss collisions between high-energy lead nuclei at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider generate intense electromagnetic fields that can knock out protons...
This supermassive black hole was discovered thanks to the newly-identified tidal disruption event AT2024tvd, an astronomical phenomenon in which a star...
Effective conservation of threatened species depends on accurate scientific assessment of their occurrence and population status. This information is often...
Since the Big Bang, the early Universe had hydrogen, helium, and a scant amount of lithium. Later, some heavier elements, including iron, were forged in...
Superb starlings (Lamprotornis superbus) demonstrate ‘reciprocity,’ helping each other with the expectation that the favor will eventually be returned,...
The genus Tyrannosaurus most likely arose in North America, although its direct ancestors migrated over from Asia more than 70 million years ago, according...
In new research, astronomers used NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) to observe a highly relativistic jet emanating from the blazar BL...
In a new study by Tarleton State University scientists, okra and/or fenugreek extracts attracted and removed up to 90% of microplastics from ocean water,...
Sub-Neptunes are high-occurrence exoplanets that have no solar system analog. Much smaller than gas giants and typically cooler than hot-Jupiter exoplanets,...
A team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Ukraine has developed a new method for the safe reassessment of farmland abandoned after the Chornobyl...
The new theory, developed by physicists at Aalto University, describes gravity in a way that’s compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics,...
Regular light-dark cycles greatly affect organisms, and events like eclipses induce distinctive physiological and behavioral shifts. While well documented...
New research from the Institute of Marine Sciences at the University of California Santa Cruz suggests the ability to keep time is not unique to our species.
