Frostquakes are seismic events with frequencies of about 10-20 Hz and waveforms like those of tectonic events. They potentially can damage infrastructures...
Sounds of human languages can be affected by various factors of the natural environment. One such factor is the mean annual temperature. In new research,...
Ancient starburst galaxies that formed 2-3 billion years after the Big Bang are unusually hot and contain unexpected elements, like nickel, according to...
The brain-encysting lancet liver fluke Dicrocoelium dendriticum induces Formica polyctena ants to climb and bite to vegetation by the mandibles in a state...
Chromium hydride is often used to probe atmospheric temperatures and classify objects called brown dwarfs into spectral types because it’s abundant only...
Named the Swift Ray 1, the real-life Star Trek ‘tricorder’ is a novel point-of-care hyperspectral imaging device that allows the acquisition of medical-grade...
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...
New research from the University of Toronto shows that from approximately 2 billion until 600 million years ago, an atmospheric tide driven by the Sun...
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,...
Some steep slopes on Mars have gullies with morphologies suggesting that they were formed by a liquid. However, the planet’s current climate is not conducive...
Otodus megalodon was a gigantic megatooth shark that lived in the world’s oceans from 23 to 3.6 million years ago. It could grow to the enormous size...
Seven rocky planets orbit the nearby dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, providing a unique opportunity to search for atmospheres on small planets outside the Solar...
Many planetary scientists studying Jupiter’s moon Europa assumed that it formed with a metallic core during or shortly after accretion. New research...
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a new smart material with a dual-response feature, that is, shape-memory and color-changing. The...
Using a model-driven alloy design approach and laser-based additive manufacturing, materials scientists at NASA have developed a new oxide-dispersion-strengthened...
Record-high magnetoresistance appears in graphene under ambient conditions, according to new research led by the University of Manchester.
The most recognizable...
Diurnal basking (sunning) is common in many ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) and is generally thought to be a behavioral mechanism for thermoregulation....
With ongoing carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, the atmosphere of Earth heats up, which has dramatic consequences for the ice sheets....
The dayside of TRAPPIST-1b, the innermost planet in the seven-planet system TRAPPIST-1, has a temperature of about 227 degrees Celsius (441 degrees Fahrenheit),...
