The teeth also have a hook at the end, which might have been used to catch tiny shrimp, which the creature fed on.

1. The proportion of patients receiving serious illness conversations (SICs) was increased in the intervention groups. 2. Patients receiving SICs were less likely to receive systemic therapy at the end of life. Evidence Rating Level: 1 (Excellent) Study Rundo…

What is behind dark energy—and what connects it to the cosmological constant introduced by Albert Einstein? Two physicists from the University of Luxembourg point the way to answering these open questions of physics.

Three charts from the world of research, selected by Nature editors.

Europe's JUICE spacecraft is all ready to embark on an eight-year odyssey through the Solar System to find out whether the oceans hidden under the surface of Jupiter's icy moons have the potential to host extraterrestrial life.

3D printing creates unique jewelry using the principles of chaos WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, 2023 – The further out in time, the more unreliable a weather forecast. That’s […]

Research from an international team of scientists has cast new light on the physics of vitrification—the process by which glass forms.

Researchers of the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung have expanded the molecular toolbox for efficient, targeted syntheses: To do so, they use a very special catalyst—and the energy of light. The result of their work has now been published in Science.

Under cold conditions, not only the mother plant but also the father plant can pass on its chloroplasts to the offspring.

When two microscopic systems are entangled, their properties are linked to each other irrespective of the physical distance between the two. Manipulating this uniquely quantum phenomenon is what allows for quantum cryptography, communication, and computation.…

An international team of researchers, led by the University of Adelaide has provided the first anatomical description of the female snake clitoris, in a first-of-its-kind study. An international team of researchers, led by the University of Adelaide has provi…

Researchers at NASA recently announced the discovery of another planet about 95% the size of Earth that is 100 light-years away and could potentially sustain li

Research emerging from the University of Toronto found that using machine learning models was able to guide the design of long-acting drug formulations.

The second law of thermodynamics is often considered to be one of only a few physical laws that is absolutely and unquestionably true. The law states that the amount of 'entropy'—a physical property—of any closed system can never decrease. It adds an 'arrow o…

The asteroid will pass between Earth and satellites in geostationary orbit.

Significant progress has been made by researchers in coming up with insect-sized jumping robots. This newly-developed robot exhibits the potential to perform tasks in the small spaces often found in agricultural, mechanical, and search-and-rescue settings.

MSU researchers have traced the evolution of mint genomes for potential future applications that range from medicines to pesticides to antimicrobials.

Scientific Reports - Increasing beam stability zone in synchrotron light sources using polynomial quasi-invariants

A recent Nano Letters study characterized the molecular interaction between S NAbs and S proteins of SARS-CoV-2 using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM).

A team of physicists reports new findings that could upset our current accepted understanding of the nuclear force.

Venus and Saturn are still putting on a spectacle in the night sky.

TOKYO: The specks are tiny. No, really tiny. Smaller than the diameter of a hair. But they hold billions of years of history that reveal some of the secrets of asteroids.The three...

Scientists from China claimed that Earth's inner core stopped rotating in the last decade and may now be spinning in the opposite direction. The study, published in Nature Geoscience, looked at Earth's innards by observing seismic waves from earthquakes. Alt…
