Blue whales and other baleen whales, which filter seawater through their mouths to feed on small marine life, once teemed in Earth’s oceans. In the 20th...
The new proof-of-concept work, published in the journal Materials Horizons, paves the way for self-assembling more complex electronic devices without relying...
Researchers from the Scottish Association for Marine Science and colleagues have discovered that the polymetallic nodule-covered abyssal seafloor in the...
Dynamically active planetary systems orbit a significant fraction of white dwarf stars. These stars often exhibit surface metals accreted from debris disks....
Current knowledge concerning the introduction of shipboard artillery in Europe is limited. A small, muzzle-loading cast copper-alloy gun recovered off...
Archaeologists from the University of Zurich and elsewhere have analyzed protein residues from ancient cooking cauldrons and found that the people of Caucasus...
The detection of the cosmogenic isotope aluminum-26; the concentrations of nickel, cobalt, germanium and gallium; and the presence of two minerals called...
Aside from the Moon, the brightest object in our night sky is planet Venus, whose thick cloud layer reflects around 75% of the Sun’s light. By comparison,...
Terbium, a chemical element with the symbol Tb and atomic number 65, has never before been seen in an exoplanet atmosphere.
This illustration shows how...
Using a model-driven alloy design approach and laser-based additive manufacturing, materials scientists at NASA have developed a new oxide-dispersion-strengthened...
Corrosion is a ubiquitous failure mode of materials. Often, the progression of localized corrosion is accompanied by the evolution of porosity in materials...
About 30% of short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs), which form during the collisions of neutron stars, lack a coincident host galaxy, raising questions about...
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array located on the Chajnantor Plateau in Chile allowed the acquisition of temperature images of (16) Psyche,...
Using data collected by the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) infrared spectrograph onboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have obtained a detailed...
Observations of an asteroid group indicate that they may have metal-rich surfaces, but those asteroids with measured densities are about half as dense...
The temperature of a planet’s atmosphere decreases with increasing altitude, unless a shortwave absorber that causes a temperature inversion exists....
The pressure and temperature conditions at which iron melts are important for rocky planets because they determine the size of the liquid metal core, an...
A team of researchers led by the University of New South Wales has discovered that suspensions of gallium liquid metal — a soft, silvery-white metal...
The high-pressure magnetic phase observed in iron trithiohypophosphate, a 2D material that transitions from an insulator to a metal when compressed, likely...
Astronomers using the HARPS (High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher) spectrograph at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile have detected gaseous...
