Antarctica sets the stage for the world's greatest waterfall. The action takes place beneath the surface of the ocean. Here, trillions of tons of cold, dense, oxygen-rich water cascade off the continental shelf and sink to great depths. This Antarctic "bottom…

The Greek writer Plutarch proposed this question: If a ship's planks are replaced over time due to wear and tear until none of the original pieces remain, is it still the same ship?

NASA's Juno spacecraft captures a captivating image of anti-cyclone storms on Jupiter, showcasing their swirling patterns. Juno's recent flyby of Jupiter reveals a massive anti-cyclonic storm amidst.

Massive underwater landslides in Antarctica triggered by past climate change: Study

Researchers are hopeful that the method will one day replace fossil fuels in the fight against climate change.

A study has found widespread mass loss of glaciers and ice caps in Greenland since the start of the 20th century. The research provides critical insights into long-term changes to the glaciers and ice caps as a result of climate change, which has con

The first protein-based nano-computing agent that functions as a circuit has been created by Penn State researchers.

Researchers from the University of Tsukuba developed "Dynamic Prospect Theory," which integrates the most popular model in behavioral economics—prospect theory and a well-established model from neuroscience—reinforcement learning theory. In doing so, they cre…

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have, collaborating with the University of Münster and Ruhr-Universität Bochum, developed new technology capable of processing the enormous amounts of information quantum systems generate. Deterministic single photon li…

The technology builds on research that showed it was possible to capture the energy in humidity. The latest discovery finds it's possible to do so with any material.

Study from researchers at Western's Advanced Facility for Avian Research (AFAR), home to the world's first hypobaric climatic wind tunnel for bird flight, explores a brain region called cluster N that migratory birds use to perceive Earth's magnetic field. Th…
