A diversity of organic compounds were found in the Martian meteorite Tissint. It crash-landed in Morocco 11 years back and is one of only five Martian meteorites observed as they fell to Earth. Notably, the presence of organic matter is associated with life, …

A study by the HSE Centre for Language and Brain has confirmed the role of the corpus callosum in language lateralization, the distribution of language processing functions between the brain's hemispheres. The authors came up with an innovative language task …

In a study published in Analytical Methods, a research group led by Li Bei from the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed the rapid detection of beer spoilage bacteria based on labe…

Experiments on laser-controlled synthetic microswimmers show that supposed swarm intelligence can sometimes also be the result of simple and generic physical mechanisms.

NASA's Lunar Flashlight mission successfully launched on Dec. 11, 2022, to begin its four-month journey to the moon, where the small satellite, or SmallSat, will test several new technologies with a goal of looking for hidden surface ice at the lunar South Po…

There's a new nanomaterial on the block. Chemists have found a way to make carbon-based molecules with a unique structural feature: interlocking rings.

The formation of a star has a simple tale. A region of interstellar gas collapses under its own weight, eventually forming a dense protostar surrounded by a disk of gas and dust. The protostar and the disk rotate in the same plane, and often jets of gas strea…

Astronomers have observed repeated outbursts of light from inactive black holes that partially destroy stars again and again.

A group of researchers has identified the key stumbling block of a common solid-state hydrogen material, paving the way for future design guidelines and widespread commercial use.

Venomous snakes cause an estimated 120,000 deaths and 400,000 disabling injuries worldwide each year, with approximately 8,000 snake bite cases in the United States alone.

A new study has revealed that certain sea stars rival polar bears as the most prolific predators in coastal Arctic ecosystems.

A bright green comet is approaching Earth for the first time in 50,000 years, putting on a show for both hemispheres. NASA officials said the icy visitor was first spotted in March 2022 while orbiting

UNITED STATES: Since James Webb Telescope was put into orbit, it has produced some beautiful views of the early cosmos. NASA’s newest telescope captured a picture depicting the star forming region. James Webb unveils breathtaking picture of dynamic star formi…

A study has identified the flower as belonging to a species close to modern day Asian plants despite having been discovered in Europe.

A machine learning algorithm identifies four reproducible clinical subphenotypes of long COVID from the electronic health records of patients with post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection within 30–180 days of infection; these patterns have implications fo…

This 1.1 inch flower incased in amber was found 150 years ago, but a re-examination found pollen samples which proved its modern lineage.

A new species of fossil flower is nearly three times the size of other fossil flowers preserved in amber.

Black hole's unusual appetite baffles astronomers

The meteorite, which crashed down in Morocco 11 years ago, was formed hundreds of millions of years ago.
