Paleontologists have identified the 410-million-year-old specimens of Spongiophyton nanum from the Ponta Grossa Formation in the Paraná Basin of Brazil...
Astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) have created the large-scale maps of carbon monoxide (CO)-dark molecular gas for the star-forming complex...
Researchers have discovered 6-million-year-old-ice and air in shallow ice cores drilled in the Allan Hills region of East Antarctica. They speculate that...
The new map of WASP-18b, a hot-Jupiter exoplanet located approximately 325 light-years from Earth, reveals an atmosphere with distinct temperature zones...
In both NOvA (NuMI Off-axis νe Appearance experiment) and T2K experiments, neutrinos are fired from particle accelerators and detected after traveling...
Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections...
Paleontologists have found the 2.9-cm-long fossilized foot bone of a possible bowerbird species at the Miocene locality of St Bathans in Aotearoa New Zealand.

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...
