By creating nanosized grains and defects in lanthanum trihydride, its electronic conductivity can be suppressed, transforming it into a superionic conductor at −40 °C with a record high H− conductivity.
Scientists have found evidence that between 9,000 and 5,000 years ago, in a period termed mid-Holocene, the East Antarctic ice sheet in Queen Maud Land melted rapidly during the time when the world experienced warmer-than-present summers.
The James Webb Space Telescope detected what may be the oldest known black hole in the universe by deconstructing faint glimmers of light from close to the dawn of time.
Researchers created a toolkit for determining the clarity and surface temperature of coastal waters. The data is freely accessible data and can help assess reefs around the world.
Because of the giant hole on the Sun's surface, solar winds are hurtling towards the Earth at a speed of 1.8 million mph, which can potentially take down our satellites and other vital pieces of tech.
West Australian researchers have developed a breakthrough method to measure the brain fluid pressure in humans, which may reduce vision damage experienced by astronauts on long-haul space flights.
A team of nuclear physicists affiliated with multiple institutions in Japan, working with a colleague from Korea, has discovered a previously unknown uranium isotope with atomic number 92 and mass 241. In their study, reported in the journal Physical Review L…
If you're hoping to get a serious education in modern dinosaur theory from Jurassic Park -- a fantasy film created almost thirty years ago -- we are sorry to say you will probably be disappointed. Still, it's fun to dig back into the movie every so often and …
A study led by Monash University astronomers published new near-infrared images of the system HD 169142, which enabled the confirmation of a protoplanet forming in the system.
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured imagery of spiral galaxy UGC 2890. The "galaxy lies around 30 million light-years away in the constellation Camelopar...
By recreating an early state of matter called the quark-gluon plasma, scientists hope to understand the conditions that made the universe what it is today.
Paleontologists have confirmed that a rock enclosing a perfectly round agate crystal is actually a titanosaur egg, which was probably smothered by lava after a volcanic eruption 67 million years ago.
Scientists have developed a sulphur-dioxide (SO2) camera, which makes use of a modified smartphone camera sensor sensitised to ultraviolet light to enable SO2 detection, for better long-term monitoring of rates of volcanic emissions data. Continual measuring …
If you’ve lived a good amount of time, there’s a good chance you’ve had at least one experience that absolutely raised every hair on your body – one that made you realize yo…
