According to new research, violence, and warfare were prevalent in many Neolithic communities across Northwest Europe during the time when farming was adopted. New research suggests that violence and warfare were widespread in numerous Neolithic communities t…

Envisioning the next generation of space telescopes Astronomers hope to capitalize on JWST's success to build support for launching three New Great Observatories by 2050.

USC Viterbi engineers harnessed ultrasonic waves to capture extraordinary images of glass frogs, which dodge predators by making themselves transparent.

This Tuesday (21), NASA issued a statement announcing the launch of Israel’s first space telescope,...

Traditional viscometers rely on capillary flow, and falling balls are simple and effective means for measuring fluid viscosity over a large range. However, their low measurement throughput and lack of real-time monitoring capabilities limit their scope of app…

Harmful algal blooms create challenges around the globe, including water quality and health risks for humans, wildlife and pets. Now, researchers at the

Takeaki Ozawa and his team from the University of Tokyo reveal the metabolic reactions upon activating an enzyme called Akt2. In doing so, they reveal the inner workings of insulin-regulated metabolism.

Like a merchant of old, balancing the weights of two different commodities on a scale, nature can keep different genetic traits in balance as a species evolves over millions of years.

Different cell types—say, heart, liver, blood, and sperm cells—possess characteristics that help them carry out their unique jobs in the body. In general, those characteristics are hard-wired. Without intervention, a heart cell won't spontaneously transform i…

An asteroid the size of the Empire State Building flew past Earth in early February, coming within 1.8 million km (1.1 million miles) of our planet. Not only is it approximately the same size as the building, but astronomers found the asteroid – named 2011 AG…

In vivo small animal fluorescence imaging is widely used in oncology, drugs, antibodies, nanomaterials, inflammation, immune diseases, gene therapy, apoptosis, and other research fields because of its advantages such as in vivo real-time imaging observation o…

NASA Mars orbiter reveals China’s Zhurong rover has not moved for months NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter reveals that China’s Zhurong rover remains stationary on the Red Planet with its status unknown.

According to current systematic theory, everyone reading this right now belongs to the taxonomic category Deuterostomia.

A team of scientists and engineers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) left Charleston, SC aboard the R/V Neil Armstrong…

The trawling of thousands of satellite measurements using artificial intelligence has shown researchers from the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland and University of Copenhagen that meltwater in tunnels beneath Greenland's ice sheet causes it to chang…

The Crew-6 mission will send four astronauts to the space station for a six-month stay.

Eurasian spruce bark beetles (Ips typographus) burrow into the bark of Norway spruce (Picea abies) trees where they mate and lay their eggs. Major outbreaks in Europe have decimated millions of hectares of conifer forests. The beetles preferentially attack tr…

"The question of the nature of dark energy is perhaps the most important unanswered question in contemporary physics...."

At Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source and its Center for Nanoscale Materials, physicist Volker Rose’s team built a one-of-a-kind microscope. They developed te

New analysis shows “nonlinear” effects contained in gravitational waves.

This image from NASA's Mars Odyssey shows graben, part of Memnonia Fossae.

China's famously secretive space agency is quiet on the health of the rover.

The image captures a “rare combination" of three large galaxies that will eventually merge into one larger galaxy.

ESO's Very Large Telescope helped discover the lightest exoplanet to date around a star named AF Leporis. The planet is slightly more massive than Jupiter.
