What are the clouds of Venus made of? Scientists know it's mainly made of sulfuric acid droplets, with some water, chlorine, and iron. Their concentrations vary with height in the thick and hostile Venusian atmosphere. But until now they have been unable to i…
Titan's "magic islands" are likely floating chunks of porous, frozen organic solids, a new study finds, pivoting from previous work suggesting they were gas bubbles. The study was published in Geophysical Research Letters.
Equipped with the potent ALMA telescope array in Chile, a group of multinational scientists have uncovered the cosmic riddles around a dying star, exposing a complex celestial dance molded by peculiar chemistry.
The Japan-led XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) observatory has released a first look at the unprecedented data it will collect when science operations begin later this year. The satellite’s science team released a snapshot of a cluster of hundre…
The survival strategies employed by one of the most aggressive, territorial and venomous ant species may pave the way to revolutionize robotics, medicine and engineering.
Researchers under the direction of Franz Kirsten of Chalmers have examined a well-known source of recurring rapid radio bursts, an as-yet-unexplained cosmic event.
A study underscores the potential of Spirulina sp. as a noel protein ingredient for poultry feeds, emphasizing its nutritional value, particularly its protein content, amino acid profile, protein solubility, and in vitro protein digestibility.
Plants have to be flexible to survive environmental changes, and the adaptive methods they deploy must often be as changeable as the shifts in climate and conditions to which they adapt. To…
