​In 1993, “Jurassic Park” helped inspire nine-year-old Stephen Brusatte to become a paleontologist. So Brusatte was thrilled to advise the producers of last year’s “Jurassic World: Dominion” on what scientists had learned about dinosaurs since he was a child.

You are looking at a real-time visualization of asteroids and comets known as Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). This view is provided by NASA’s interactive Eyes on ...

Researchers think it could be down to where these crocs are hanging out.

A new asteroid has been discovered orbiting the Earth, interacting only weakly with the planet in a way that classifies the object as a "quasi-moon".

The digital age has been a tremendous boon to the fields of both statistics and astronomy. However, according to Dr. Max Bonamente, a professor of physics and a

The European Space Agency recently conducted an experiment trying to fry food in space and make fries a staple food for astronauts during long-term missions.

It's hypothesized the venom from just one of the deadliest cone snails could kill up to 700 people.

A Bayesian approach to comparing the effects of accretion disks, dark matter or clouds of ultra-light bosons on gravitational waveforms from a black hole binary system concludes that detectors such as LISA can distinguish between these environments.

Structural and biochemical analyses show how one archaeon links both sulfur reduction and methane production.

How a methanogenic microbe reassembles a metabolic pathway piece by piece to transform Sulfate into a cellular building block. Researchers have discovered that the methanogen Methanothermococcus thermolithotrophicus can convert sulfate into sulfide, defying p…

A new tool in the fight against superbugs goes beyond protein folding simulations like AlphaFold, potentially revealing antibiotic candidates.

Scientists observed a boost in brain activity in dying patients, which could potentially help demystify mysterious near-death experiences.Researchers observed an increase in brain activity in dying...

In new research, astrophysicists at Radboud University show the existence of a local gravitational particle production mechanism in curved spacetimes similar to the Schwinger effect for electric fields.

A Freie Universität Berlin research team headed by quantum physicist Professor Christiane Koch has demonstrated how hydrogen molecules behave when they collide with noble gas atoms such as helium or neon. In an article published in the journal Science, the re…

One of the new images, part of an "astronomical treasure trove" reveal asteroid tails shooting across the far-off galaxy.

Identifying whether and how a nanoparticle and protein will bind with one another is an important step toward being able to design antibiotics and antivirals on demand, and a computer model developed at the University of Michigan can do it.

Gravitational wave (GW) observatories have been a great addition to cosmologists’ arsenal in the lack decade. With their first effective detection at the Laser Interferometric Gravitational Observatory completed in 2015, they opened up a whole new world of da…

Most people would prefer a mattress to a brick wall, and the decision is simple. A brick wall is rigid and does not absorb shocks or vibrations well, whereas a mattress is soft and works well as a shock absorber.

The invasion of pythons has had little to no impact on cotton rats, explaining why some areas are now increasingly dominated by rodents.

A team of researchers from EPFL have found a way to use the phenomenon of strong gravitational lensing to determine with precision—about three times more precise than any other technique—the mass of a galaxy containing a quasar, as well as their evolution in …

Experiments were carried out in weightlessness using the novel carousel-type apparatus to test the frying strategy.

Researchers could have access to a wealth of biological knowledge by predicting where proteins will be found within a cell. This knowledge is essential for generating future scientific discoveries connected to medication development and treating conditions li…

Using NASA's Neil Gherels Swift Observatory, Indian astronomers have observed a blazar known as OJ 287. Results of the observational campaign, published May 25 on the arXiv pre-print server, shed more light on the spectral changes of OJ 287, improving our kno…
