Physicists with the KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment report the most precise measurement of the upper mass limit of the neutrino to date,...
Astrophysicists from China and Australia have found that the birth masses of neutron stars can be described by a unimodal distribution that smoothly turns...
In the Standard Model of particle physics, the masses of the carriers of the weak interaction, the W and Z bosons, are uniquely related. Physics beyond...
Astronomers using the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array have observed Polaris, a member of a triple system and the nearest and...
The fastest animals are neither large elephants nor tiny ants, but intermediately sized, like cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus). Why does running speed break...
Paleontologists from the University of California, Davis, and Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History estimate that Perucetus colossus,...
In a new paper, astrophysicists from Australian National University present an overview of the thermal history of our Universe and the sequence of objects...
The new fossil material belonging to Anachlysictis gracilis, including an almost complete specimen consisting of a nicely preserved skull and postcranial...
Astronomers believe the peculiar composition of the Neptune-sized planet TOI-1853b is the result of a giant planetary clash.
Heavy elements dominate the...
WD 0032-317B, a brown dwarf orbiting around the hot, low-mass white dwarf WD 0032-317, is estimated to have a surface temperature of about 8,000 K and...
Using data from TRAPPIST-South/North, SPECULOOS, and MuSCAT3 facilities, astronomers have discovered an unusual Jupiter-sized exoplanet orbiting the red...
Perucetus colossus substantially pushes the upper limit of skeletal mass in mammals, as well as in aquatic vertebrates in general. This early basilosaurid...
In the eleven years since its discovery, studies of the Higgs boson have become a central avenue for shedding light on the fundamental structure of the...
The long-necked dinosaurs, sauropods, are famous for their extreme body sizes, evolving body masses several times greater than the next-heaviest terrestrial...
Messier 87, a massive elliptical galaxy located approximately 53 million light-years away in the constellation of Virgo, turns out to be triaxial, or potato-shaped,...
In November 2019, the nearby single, isolated white dwarf LAWD 37 aligned closely with a distant background source and caused a so-called microlensing...
Temnospondyli is a diverse group of extinct amphibians that flourished worldwide during the Carboniferous, Permian, and Triassic periods. The body mass...
University of Queensland theoretical physicist Joshua Foo and his colleagues form the University of Queensland, Perimeter Institute and the University...
How sauropod dinosaurs, which include the largest animals that walked the Earth, were able to withstand the forces associated with their immense size represents...
Although star formation is one of the most fundamental processes of astrophysics, there is no widely accepted theory of star formation, despite decades...
