Using advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods, physicists at the University of Nottingham have successfully trapped atoms of krypton inside...
When intact, the Amazonian forest is dense and difficult to penetrate, both on foot and with scanning technologies. Over the past several years, however,...
Over 15 years ago, ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft studied the Medusae Fossae Formation, revealing enigmatic deposits up to 2.5 km deep. From those early...
Gliding winged reptiles called kuehneosaurs lived in what is now the Mendip Hills in Somerset, England, during the Triassic period, some 210 million years...
Woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) in mainland Alaska overlapped with the region’s first people for at least 1,000 years. However, it is unclear...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have detected a small and vigorous black hole in GN-z11, an exceptionally luminous galaxy...
The distribution of ions at the air/water interface plays a decisive role in many natural processes. Several studies have reported that larger ions tend...
Intriguingly, the gamma-ray signal detected by NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is found in a similar direction and with a nearly identical magnitude...
New research from the University of Bristol sheds light on the origin of titanium-rich basaltic magmas on the Moon.
A map of the titanium abundances of...
A fragment of fossilized skin collected from the Richards Spur limestone cave system in Oklahoma, the United States, is at least 21 million years older...
Physicists have, for the first time, directly imaged small clusters of noble gas atoms at room temperature. This achievement opens up exciting possibilities...
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has had a tremendous impact on humanity. Prevention of transmission by disinfection of...
A fast radio burst event called FRB 20220610A flashed in what seems like an unlikely place: a collection of at least seven galaxies that existed when the...
Dr. Christopher Stark from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and his colleagues present new coronagraphic images from the NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera)...
Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have detected a brown dwarf with infrared emission from methane, likely due to energy in...
Odd radio circles (ORCs), a class of extragalactic astronomical sources discovered in 2019, are in fact shells formed by outflowing galactic winds, possibly...
Uranus and Neptune, the so-called ice giants, are the most distant giant planets in our Solar System. Our knowledge of these worlds was revolutionized...
30 Doradus B, also cataloged as NGC 2060, is found in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
At the center of this complex...
