Insects have been around for millions of years, but their evolutionary relationships are still not fully known. Now, researchers from Japan have discovered that an old insect lineage can contribute to a clearer picture of their past.

After completing the first sample depot on another world, the rover continues its hunt for Mars rocks worthy of study on Earth.

NASA’s Clipper and ESA’s JUICE will soon track signs of habitability on Jupiter’s icy moons. Here’s how.

The celestial highlight of the month is actually a drama that has been building all through February.

Deep space smallsats face big challenges More than half the cubesats that launched on Artemis 1 in November have suffered problems, underlining the myriad challenges facing small satellites beyond Earth’s orbit.

As temperatures rise, many tropical species once confined to the warmest parts of the globe are expected to climb to higher altitudes and creep farther from the equator.

Erythrocyte morphological deformations observed in micropipette aspiration assays resultant from fibrinogen enhanced erythrocyte–erythrocyte adhesion are characterised by new mathematical model calibrated by atomic force microscopy measurements.

The tenuous atmospheres of the Galilean satellites are sourced from their surfaces and produced by a combination of plasma-surface interactions and thermal processes. Though thin, these atmospheres can be studied via their auroral emissions, and most work to …

A team of researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, the University of Cambridge, the Interuniversity Institute for Marine Sciences and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur reports that transparent prawn larvae (and many other sea creatures) ca…

Vibrations are the main drivers of a mysterious process in which a liquid flow generates an electric current in the solid below it.

Iowa State University researchers may have solved a long-standing challenge associated with accelerated development of pure genetic lines.

An elaborate scheme to shade Earth is unlikely to get off the ground.

56 million years ago, the Earth experienced one of the largest and most rapid climate warming events in its history: the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM)

Crystal structures and quantum mechanical calculations reveal the interaction and photoisomerized conformation of the retinal chromophore in the K intermediate of bacteriorhodopsin (bR), giving insights into light-driven bR proton pumping.

Iron-dependent cell death (ferroptosis) is a type of programmed cell death by means of which the body kills off diseased, defective or superfluous cells. This process can be used to make immunotherapies against liver cancer more effective. Researchers at Geor…

A new study, led by a researcher from the Centre for Oral, Clinical & Translational Sciences at King's College London, has identified key differences in tooth replacement between snakes and other reptiles, and identified the mechanism that allows snakes to sh…

Deep below the Earth's surface lies the outer core, which is made up 2000-km thick liquid iron alloy layer. Despite being located 3000-km deep from the surface, it still affects our surface habitability as it is the region where Earth's magnetic field is gene…
