In birds, big brains aren’t associated with living in large social groups – instead, they’re linked to long stints of parental feeding.

NASA has selected Autonomic Integra of Gaithersburg, Maryland, for specialized scientific support services to the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York.

Protected marine areas are one of the essential tools for the conservation of natural resources affected by human impact—mainly fishing—but are they enough to recover the functioning of these systems?

Among other discoveries made by the Curiosity rover, rippled rock textures suggest lakes existed in a region of ancient Mars that scientists expected to be drier.

Common approaches to analyzing DNA from a community of microbes, called a microbiome, can yield erroneous results, in large part due to the incomplete databases used to identify microbial DNA sequences. A team led by Aiese Cigliano of Sequentia Biotech SL and…

Astrophysicists demonstrate a surprising way to block radiation from the sun.

Astrophysicists say the radical solution may reduce solar radiation by one to two per cent

The prototype drag sail could help humanity deal with its growing space-junk problem.

This study reveals intrinsic constraints in metagenomic analysis stemming from current database limitations.

The James Webb Space Telescope observed its smallest cosmic object to date while trying to look at another asteroid.

Nine projects led by UBC Applied Science-affiliated researchers are being awarded more than $3.6 million through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Project Grants: Fall 2022 competition.

Astronomers have uncovered striking new evidence for a mass migration of stars into the Andromeda Galaxy. Intricate patterns in the motions of stars reveal an immigration history very similar to that of the Milky Way.

Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space. Waves that originated in the early universe could carry important information about the phenomena that occurred there.

Images from the James Webb Space Telescope have helped scientists to examine compact structures of star clusters inside distant galaxies for the first time.

This image from NASA's Mars Odyssey shows a cross section of the upper elevations of Pavonis Mons, including part of the summit caldera.

At the bottom of this valley, called Gediz Vallis, is a mound of boulders and debris that are believed to have been swept there by wet landslides billions of years ago. The rover team hopes to get a closer look at this evidence for flowing water.

The location of the comet near the Red Planet should make it relatively easy to find.

Surprise! Android 14 is here! Google released the first Android 14 Developer Preview on the world this morning in celebration of LeBron breaking the NBA scoring record. Actually, this has nothing to do with that bundle of greatness from last night, but shouto…

Understanding the physical characteristics of Venus, including its atmosphere, interior, and its evolutionary pathway with respect to Earth, remains a vital component for terrestrial planet evolution models and the emergence and/or decline of planetary habita…

A team of researchers led by astronomers at NSF’s NOIRLab has uncovered striking new evidence for a mass migration of stars into the Andromeda Galaxy.

Researchers from the University of Sussex and Universal Quantum have demonstrated for the first time that quantum bits (qubits) can directly transfer between quantum computer microchips and demonstrated this with record-breaking speed and accuracy. This break…
