Researchers say lonsdaleite could aid the production of ultra-hard machine parts.

"Diamond rain" on the giant icy planets Neptune and Uranus could be more common than previously thought, say scientists.

The basics of climate change science have been known for a long time, and the predicted impact of a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide on global temperature hasn’t changed much in 100 years.

CAPSTONE is in a protective safe mode while the mission team troubleshoots the still-mysterious issue.

Understanding and predicting the geomorphological response of fluvial and tidal channels to bank retreat underpins the robust management of water courses and the protection of wetlands.
