In 2011, NASA’s MESSENGER orbiter detected signals typical of glacial ice near the poles on Mercury. The ice was dingy and lurked in permanent shadows...

Torreites sanchezi, an extinct species of rudist clam that lived during the Cretaceous period, some 70 million years ago, grew fast, laying down daily...

Using a novel technique called clumped isotope paleothermometry, an international team of paleontologists analyzed eggshell fossils representing three...

Scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have found that men born in the United States in the early 19th century had temperatures 0.59...

When two diatomic molecules collide, they can sometimes swap partners. For instance, two potassium-rubidium (KRb) molecules can produce K2 and Rb2. The...

Tufted puffins (Fratercula cirrhata) possess large bills and are members of the bird family with energetically expensive flight. In a new study, a team...

A research team led by American University scientists has sequenced the genome of the thermophilic subterrestrial nematode Halicephalobus mephisto, one...

A team of researchers at the Pennsylvania State University has demonstrated that they can charge an electrical vehicle in 10 minutes for a 200 to 300 mile...

Different groups of gigantic dinosaurs had different thermoregulatory strategies to help moderate brain temperatures in the face of high heat loads, according...

A team of researchers from Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine has used a modified version of the boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) molecular rotor...

In a study published recently in the Journal of Burn Care & Research, a team of researchers reviewed all pavement burn injury admissions into a Las...

Bathing 1-2 hours before bedtime in water of about 104-108.5 degrees Fahrenheit (40-42.5 degrees Celsius) can significantly improve the quality and efficiency...

A research team led by University of Rochester physicists has conceived an idea for a superconducting quantum refrigerator, which would cool atoms to nearly...

So-called fibrous diamonds, which are cloudy and less appealing to jewelers — and less often, gem-quality diamonds — trap and preserve fluids...

In a study published in the journal PLoS ONE, a team of researchers from the United States and Germany found that women performed better on math and verbal...

According to new research, published in the journal Geology, processes not involved in controlling sand movement on Earth play major roles on the Red Planet,...

A team of researchers at the University of California, San Diego, has designed and demonstrated a wearable patch with long-term, energy-efficient cooling...

On April 24, 2019, NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter captured a new thermal image of Phobos, the larger of Mars’ two moons. Each color in the full-moon image...

Until now, atoms in physical matter were understood to exist typically in one of three states — solid, liquid or gas. An international team of physicists...

Drinking hot tea elevates the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, one of the two major types of esophageal cancer, by about 90%, according to a...
