A recent analysis of the “Butterfly Nebula” is making astronomers rethink what they know about nebula creation throughout the universe.

One of last year's space highlights was the NASA DART mission's collision with Dimorphos, the small moon of the binary asteroid Didymos (seen left). The impact measurably shifted the target asteroid's orbit around its primary while casting a plume of debris t…

The folded leaf of an oak tree, faded yellow, dotted with dark spots. We pick up on the information contained in leaves almost subconsciously when strolling through the forest. But the researchers at UZH's Remote Sensing Laboratories are taking this ability t…

Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have identified a mechanism in a 3D-printed alloy—termed "load shuffling"—that could enable the design of better-performing lightweight materials for vehicles.

Scientists have found a variety of ways to convert one color of laser light into another. In a study just published in the journal Physical Review Applied, scie

A galactic photo shoot has captured more than 3 billion stars and galaxies in one of the biggest sky surveys ever

Neutrino deficit is likely to arise from difficulties in modelling of decay processes

Ed Mullins said he embezzled roughly $600,000 by submitting bogus or overblown expense reports to the union between 2017 and 2021.

New studies confirm mid-Cretaceous volcanism caused ocean acidification. New analyses of fossil plankton and sedimentary rock confirm that massive volcanic CO2 emissions triggered ocean acidification and anoxia during the mid-Cretaceous Associated with the on…

For decades we've thought of the Tyrannosaurus Rex as enormous and terrifying though not particularly intelligent. But according to a growing body of research, "Jurassic Park" and all of us have had it wrong.

The green comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) will make a close approach to Earth on Feb. 1 before sailing off into deep space for millions of years.

Shoot for the stars with our beginners guide to astrophotography.

Paleontologists in India have found 92 dinosaur nesting sites and 256 egg fossils for six different types of titanosaurs dinosaurs.

A device made using 3D printed components is a snap to assemble.

For the first time since it was proposed more than 80 years ago, scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have demonstrated the phenomenon of "quantum recoil," which describes how the particle nature of light has a major imp…

The story of satellite gravimetry’s progression from the fringes of hydrology to being a staple of large-scale water cycle and water resources science and the sole source of global observations of terrestrial water storage now an ‘essential climate variable’.

SCIENTISTS have uncovered a ‘killer mushroom’ that uses nerve gas to paralyse its victims before it eats them alive. But the fungi fiend is surprisingly delicious. Most people don’…

Current methods of chromatin analysis focus mainly on the most abundant cell types in a sample. We present a workflow that combines enrichment of rare cell types with high-resolution mapping of histone modifications, which enables us to study chromatin dynami…

The authors introduce a deep learning framework to reproduce sequences of response times and use it to provide evidence for a stability–flexibility trade-off underlying task-switching costs.

WASHINGTON: The blue, fin, bowhead, gray, humpback, right and sperm whales are the largest animals alive today. In fact, the blue whale is the largest-known creature ever on Earth, topping even the biggest of the dinosaurs. How did these magnificent marine ma…

ANME-1 archaea are important because of their ability to metabolize methane through anaerobic oxidation. Here the authors use metagenomics on hydrothermal samples from the Gulf of California to characterize a family of ANME-1 and its virome.

A high-quality Ixodes scapularis genome contributes to improved annotations, expansion of gene families, development of proteome catalogs and the deciphering of genetic variation in wild ticks.

Analysis of a large galaxy sample shows that black hole activity is greater in galaxies in which the stellar and gas kinematics are misaligned. This observation suggests that the misalignment, driven by external gas accretion, fuels the central supermassive b…

We present a new methodology for simulating mid-infrared emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in galaxy evolution simulations.
