Their research is part basic science, investigating the bacterium’s resilience in a hostile environment – coffee leaves – and part biotech, seeing whether the bacterium inhibits the development of a pathogen that causes severe losses to coffee growers.

Frida Kahlo, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Hercules—they are all among the namesakes of the new pseudoscorpions recently described in the Arachnology Department at the Museum der Natur Hamburg. The prominent names suit the little animals because they are reflecte…

Falling silent after four years, InSight had landed on Mars in 2018 and was the first spacecraft to document a marsquake.

Recently, scientists from the universities of Greifswald and Vienna examined skull remains of Europasaurus with high-resolution computer tomography scans. The little giant has been the ideal candidate for the researchers to investigate, since there are hardly…

NASA's InSight Mars Lander, which is expected to soon power down after four years on the red planet, has reportedly recorded its biggest quake on Mars ever.

A massive shockwave from the sun has torn a hole in the Earth's magnetic field, paving the way for a geomagnetic storm to form.

On September 26, NASA successfully completed the first step in a highly futuristic endeavor: humanity’s first interplanetary defense system. Simply, it

First planet spotted by NASA's Kepler Telescope will be doomed by crashing into a star | DNA India Kepler-1658b, orbiting with a period of just 3.85 days, wa...

The lander’s power levels have been dwindling for months because of dust coating its solar panels.

The feet of a bird tell us a lot about its life. Newly described, the fossil feet of the ancestors of modern birds reveal how superbly adapted they were to their world.

The main gases released by volcanoes are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. Analyzing these gases is one of the best ways of obtaining information on volcanic systems and the magmatic processes that are underway. The ratio of carbon dioxide leve…

Today the international LHCb collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) presented new measurements of rare particle transformations, or decays, that provide one of the highest-precision tests yet of a key property of the Standard Model of particle physi…

Has one of the biggest challenges to the theory of cold dark matter finally been removed?

Science fiction aficionados may recall the bipedal robots from the 1972 film Silent Running, which performed maintenance on the outside of the spaceship. Well, the new MARM robot is a bit reminiscent of them – except it has three limbs, for optimum dexterity …

Research finds orangutans communicate using a complex repertoire of consonant-like calls, more so than African apes. Previous research has only linked the evolution of human language with the voiced-vowel sounds produced by non-human primates, despite human l…

Compass, protractor and map not required to triangulate lunar coordinates

New research from The University of Warwick has revealed that orangutans, the most arboreal of the great apes, produce consonant-like calls more often and of greater variety than their African ground-dwelling cousins (gorillas, bonobos and chimpanzees).

Using height data processed into 3D vistas, a team of researchers are looking to build a handheld vision-based navigation AI.

As we accelerate towards industrial activities in space, the need for robots capable of working in space becomes more urgent. For a multitude of reasons

Recent observations of a black hole devouring a wandering star may help scientists understand more complex black hole feeding behaviors.

This was the first time that a school from the Kathua district has participated in the NASA campaign.

Glioblastomas (GBMs) are incurable brain tumors with a prognosis of about one-and-a half years on average. They are highly resistant to treatment and have defied all attempts at precision therapy.

Astronomers claim to have solved a long-standing mystery about how the Universe evolved: the spatial distribution of faint satellite galaxies around the Milky Way.
