A team of epidemiologists and geneticists from Vanderbilt University, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California has found evidence that suggests modern humans mating with Neanderthals may have gained an ability to adapt to differences in…

Ice cores are a unique climate archive. Thanks to a new method developed by researchers at the University of Bern and Empa, greenhouse gas concentrations in 1.5 million year old ice can be measured even more accurately. The EU project "Beyond EPICA" with the …

A new technique developed by Carnegie's Yingwei Fei and Lin Wang provides fresh insight into the process by which the materials that formed Earth's core descended into the depths of our planet, leaving behind geochemical traces that have long mystified scient…

Software opens the door for a greater number of complete genome sequences.

A trio of telescopes captured a new view of the sun that reveals the star's invisible light, including X-rays and ultraviolet light.

The James Webb Space Telescope – the most precise telescope ever built – was decisive in discovering the frozen forms of a long series of molecules, such as

A trio of telescopes captured a new view of the sun that reveals the star's invisible light.

Lance Dixon, professor of particle physics and astrophysics at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University, will r

A team of scientists led by Professor Tanja Gulder at Leipzig University's Institute of Organic Chemistry, together with colleagues from the University of Regensburg, has developed a simplified and efficient method for the artificial production of terpenes.

Ten components come together to form a complex structure called a triakis tetrahedron.

A friendly molecule called ortho-benzene is a key player.

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has photographed clear signs of ripples locked into a Martian rock, a sign of an ancient lake on the Red Planet's surface.

The subsurface of Mars has been mapped in detail using ground-penetrating radar from China’s Martian rover Zhurong (pictured) which has revealed shallow impact craters and other geologic structures in the top five metres of the planet’s surface.

Schilperoort et al. explore the mechanisms underlying dynamic changes in macrophage metabolism that support efferocytosis. They show that transient glycolysis and subsequent lactate production are necessary to execute continual efferocytosis, as opposed to pr…

Accurate climate models serve a key role in climate science and policy, helping to inform policy- and decision-makers around the world as they contemplate strategies to halt the devastating effects of global warming and adapt to existing changes. A review art…

Collections of da Vinci’s notebooks are revealing his groundbreaking musings on the basic theories of physics.

A peculiar cloud of gas, nicknamed the Tadpole due to its shape, appears to be revolving around a space devoid of any bright objects. This suggests that the Tadpole is orbiting a dark object, most likely a black hole 100,000 times more massive than the sun. F…

Over the past century, the Earth’s average temperature has swiftly increased by about 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit). The evidence is hard to dispute. It comes from thermometers and other sensors around the world. But what about the thousands of ye…

Discovery suggests raw ingredients for life are common in the dusty discs out of which planets are born.
