Leonardo da Vinci's experiments demonstrated that gravity is a form of acceleration. Also, da Vinci modelled the gravitational constant to around 97 per cent accuracy.

The tropical oceans are home to the most diverse plankton populations on Earth, where they form the base of marine food chains.

The seas were once home to a “monster” penguin species that would have weighed as much as an adult male gorilla, a new fossil has revealed.At almost 160kg (25s

The Chelyabinsk meteor was the biggest space rock to hit Earth this century. Its shockwave shattered windows and injured hundreds of people.

In sedimentary basins, the evolution of hydrocarbon including oil/gas generation, migration, and accumulation, as well as reservoir destruction, is often controlled by regional tectonic activities.

New class of materials has ‘no counterpart or analogue in nature’

The space observatory saw three galaxy clusters coming together to form a megacluster.

Scientists from Imperial College London believe they may finally have an explanation for the source of Dark Energy - black holes.

Dr Mark Kennedy is part of a team that has stumbled upon a stellar discovery that answers, and raises, questions about neutron stars masses.

The colossal explosion resulting from a merger between two neutron stars has an unexpectedly perfect shape.

Quantification of planktonic fossils from the past 40 million years shows that the present-day diversity gradient arose only 15 million years ago as the climate started to cool.

Banksia woodlands are an iconic ecosystem around the Perth region. They are home to more than 600 plant species and the banksia trees that grow in deep, nutrient poor sands are an important habitat for many threatened species, like black cockatoos, chuditch a…

Scientists hope they will understand them fully by the end of this season.

The advanced cognitive capacities of humans are linked to the evolution of a number of species-specific cortical features. In this Review, Pierre Vanderhaeghen and Franck Polleux discuss the genomic modifications and changes in neurodevelopmental mechanisms t…

ASTRONOMERS have uncovered a new galaxy that has shocked scientists over its resemblance to the Milky Way. The distant spiral galaxy, captured by the $10billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), h…

Science News: WASHINGTON: Astronomers have observed what might be the "perfect explosion," a colossal and utterly spherical blast triggered by the merger of two ver.

A minimal artificial Kitaev chain can be realized by using two spin-polarized quantum dots in an InSb nanowire strongly coupled by both elastic co-tunnelling and crossed Andreev reflection.

MEXICO CITY : Scientists studying Antarctica's vast Thwaites Glacier - nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier - say warm water is seeping into its weak spots, worsening melting caused by rising temperatures, two papers published in Nature journal showed on Wednesday.…

Accurate climate models play a critical role in climate science and policy, helping to inform policy- and decision-makers throughout the world as they consider ways to slow the deadly effects of a warming planet and to adapt to changes already in progress. To…

Investigations of the crystallization of FeSi in Fe–Si–H melt under high pressure−temperature conditions provide evidence of a new process that explains geochemical and geophysical observations at the core–mantle boundary.

Through microscopic manipulation of radiofrequency fields, a new class of compact terahertz devices is proposed, setting the stage for next-generation ultrafast semiconductor electronics.

Accurate climate models play a critical role in climate science and policy, helping to inform policy- and decision-makers throughout the world as they consider ways to slow the deadly effects of a warming planet and to adapt to changes already in progress.

Brain cells are crucial for triggering fights — but also become active when mice merely observe fights.
