Long invisible to astronomers, the newly-discovered molecular cloud is one of the largest single structures in the sky and among the closest to the Sun...
Paleontologists have discovered 50- to 25-million-year-old fossilized footprints of invertebrates and vertebrates, including a false saber-toothed cat...
Neotropical crocodiles inhabit a broad geographic range with populations spanning from coastal, inland, and insular locations. In new research, scientists...
High-energy photons produced deep in gamma-ray burst jets emerging from a collapsed star could dissolve the outer stellar layers into free neutrons, causing...
Paleontologists have described the oldest known member of Haidomyrmecinae — an extinct subfamily of ants that only lived during the Cretaceous period...
Malus is a genus with over 35 species naturally distributed across the temperate northern hemisphere, from East Asia and Europe to North America. This...
Large-bodied extinct kangaroos of the genus Protemnodon were not intrepid travelers who bounded across the plains, but rather homebodies, who did not journey...
Electricity-conducting cable bacteria form a group of multicellular prokaryotes that enable electron transfer over centimeter-scale distances within marine...
The newly-discovered planet orbits at an angle of 90 degrees around 2MASS J15104786-2818174 (hereafter 2M1510), an eclipsing binary composed of two equal-mass...
The new hybrid device combines decoupled sensors with a flexible wireless powering and transmitting module for emotion recognition, according to a research...
Archaeologists have discovered and analyzed three hearths at the Upper Paleolithic site (45,000 to 10,000 years ago) of Korman’ 9 on the right bank of...
Using data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers at MIT have discovered a rocky exoplanet orbiting the bright K-dwarf...
Observations of large valley networks on today’s Mars suggest formation by flowing water. However, most climate models cannot sustain temperatures above...
An asteroid called Donaldjohanson was captured by NASA’s Lucy spacecraft during a flyby on April 20, 2025. At closest approach, the spacecraft came within...
Highly ionized neon gas detected at the center of the spiral galaxy Messier 83 by the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) aboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb...
Earth’s coastlines are fascinating places where liquids mix and materials are shaped into distinct landforms like river deltas. Similar active coastlines...
The fossil record of freshwater crayfish is surprisingly sparse, comprising mostly trace fossils, some body fossils and rarely gastroliths. Paleontologists...
NASA’s Curiosity rover has found evidence of a carbon cycle on ancient Mars, bringing scientists closer to an answer on whether the planet was ever capable...
