The Board of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)—an international collaboration in which the National Science Foundation's National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) is a partner—has approved multi-million dollar upgrades for the developm…

<p>Recent telescope data revealed that a small planet in the far reaches of our solar system has a dense ring round it. </p>

The ongoing search for signs of life on Mars relies in part on terrestrial analogs—places on Earth closely resembling the past or current geology and climate of the red planet that can be readily explored.

Researchers in New Zealand have unearthed fossils from two previously unknown ancient penguin species. One of the new species is the largest penguin ever discovered.

The sun is growing more active in its regular 11-year-cycle and has a huge sunspot serving as a hotbed of flares and other activity.

Just Rolled In made an amusing compilation of cars needing repair that were making the sounds of animals and other interesting sources.

The comet will only be visible on the Northern Hemisphere, and binoculars and telescopes are highly recommended for those wanting to look out for it.

The moon hunter strikes again. A team of astronomers led by Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution has found and confirmed 12 new moons orbiting Jupiter, bringing the total of moons at the giant planet to 92. The new moons were quietly announced on the In…

Nature Climate Change - Smallholders’ role

The simplicity of particle suspension reactors and the precise synthetic control afforded by silicon nanowire growth are used to develop a system that can produce hydrogen fuel by splitting water with sunlight.

A suspension of millions of nanoparticles that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen can operate in visible and infrared light.

By investigation of structural dynamics during the life cycle of Cu nanocatalysts, correlation of multimodal operando techniques was found to serve as a powerful platform to advance understanding of their complex structural evolution.

On February 10th, Friday, USP 's Science and Technology Park (Cientec) promotes another edition of the Astronomical Observation, a monthly nocturnal event, which this time will observe comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), which It has an orbital period of 50,000 y

WASHINGTON : The small distant world called Quaoar, named after a god of creation in Native American mythology, is producing some surprises for astronomers as it orbits beyond Pluto in the frigid outer reaches of our solar system.Researchers said on Wednesday…

Modeling the effects of earthquakes on homes, businesses, and infrastructure is about to get a lot easier, thanks to simulations from the world's fastest supercomputers

Hydrogen spillover is the dynamic migration of surface-adsorbed hydrogen species from hydrogen-rich sites to hydrogen-poor sites. It plays an important role in many H-involving reaction processes.

Sometimes scientists have to accept that a method they have used for years fails under certain conditions. Such a failure calls for a careful analysis of the shortcomings and their subsequent elimination. An international team from the University of Regensbur…

The authors report observations of a dense and inhomogeneous ring at a surprisingly large distance from the trans-Neptunian body Quaoar.

A small team of astrophysicists affiliated with several institutions in China has found evidence that suggests if wormholes are real, they might magnify light by 100,000 times. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, the group describ…

From dragonflies to hummingbirds, hovering flight is among the most complex and captivating forms of animal movement—a physiological feat of size, musculature and wing development.

A mysterious radio signal from 30,000 light years away might have come from a ‘volcano’ on a dead star, and could throw light on a bigger mystery - fast...

Researchers have proposed a new method to search for invisible particles called sterile neutrinos using a glass nanoparticle suspended by laser light.

Scientists fitted the famously bitey marsupials with tiny accelerometers to learn their secrets.
