In general relativity, a gravitational white hole is a hypothetical region of space that cannot be entered from outside. It is the reverse of a black hole...
Crocodylians are surviving members of a 230-million-year lineage called crocodylomorphs, a group that includes living crocodylians (i.e. crocodiles, alligators...
Recent measurements from NASA’s InSight mission show that Mars’ core is less dense than planetary scientists previously believed. This indicates that...
The structure of optical rotatum follows a logarithmic spiral — a signature that is commonly seen in the pattern formation of seashells and galaxies,...
Excessive dietary sodium raises blood pressure, whereas a high potassium diet has the opposite effect. The underlying mechanisms are moderated by sex and...
NGC 1514’s two central stars, which appear as one in the image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, formed this scene over thousands of...
Astronomers using the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on the Gemini South telescope have determined that the recently-discovered near-Earth asteroid...
Assigned to the new ichnospecies Ruopodosaurus clava, these dinosaur footprints found in northeastern British Columbia and northwestern Alberta confirm...
Physicists with the KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment report the most precise measurement of the upper mass limit of the neutrino to date,...
