They have incipient brains, hearts and guts

The Holden Basin* is part of a series of channels and sinks called the Uzboi-Ladon-Morava (ULM) outflow system that may have once drained up to 9% of the martian surface.

By using foraminifera-bound nitrogen isotopes, it is shown that, during two warm periods of the Cenozoic, oxygen-deficient zones contracted rather than expanded, suggesting that global warming may not necessarily lead to increased oceanic anoxia.

By combining large-scale first-principles GW-BSE calculations and micro-reflection spectroscopy, the nature of the exciton resonances in WSe2/WS2 moiré superlattices is identified, highlighting non-trivial exciton states and suggesting new ways of tuning many…

NASA launched the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes in 1977 to explore the outer solar system, and 45 years later, both are still (partially) functional. Voyager 1, which is over 14 billion miles from Earth, just got a software update.

We applied single-molecule nanopore sequencing to over 120 million full-length RNAs, including the poly(A) tail, from various tissues and plant species. The resulting dataset enables the genome-wide characterization of plant poly(A) tails at the single gene l…

The earliest photo of Jupiter was taken in 1879, 143 years later we have the state-of-the-art James Webb Space Telescope capturing the giant planet with its IR cam. Let us have a look at the pictures.

DUE to the failure to troubleshoot an engine problem, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Space Launch System (SLS) rocket carrying the Orion capsule...

Also known as EUSO-SPB2, the project called the Extreme Space Balloon Observatory will search for messengers from outer space. It’s a small, high-energy

Louis Woodhams and Phil Bayly’s team at the McKelvey School of Engineering built a model to better understand how certain cilia -- tiny, hairlike structures throughout our body -- beat.

A heterodimensional superlattice consisting of an alternating array of a two-dimensional material and a one-dimensional material shows unconventional octahedral stacking and an unexpected room-temperature anomalous Hall effect.

A new Triassic dinosaur assemblage from Zimbabwe reveals that the earliest dinosaurs were confined to a temperate region in the far south of Pangaea.

It’s a party for Voyager and the team of scientists, engineers and others who have followed it across our Solar System. Then we’ll visit with Ann Druyan, creative director for the Voyager Golden Record.

The James Webb Space Telescope's images are making astronomers questions what they thought they knew about distant, early galaxies.

A new study from Yale University highlights the role of different climate zones in the origin and distribution of early dinosaurs throughout Pangaea.

The atomic nucleus is a busy place. Its constituent protons and neutrons occasionally collide, and briefly fly apart with high momentum before snapping back together like the two ends of a stretched rubber band. Using a new technique, physicists studying thes…

Comparing James Webb Telescope’s photos to those taken with Hubble already shows how much astronomy has progressed over the last century and a half. And not just astronomy, but photography and technology as well. Now imagine comparing the first ever and the m…

When odds are equal, particles paired up with others of the same kind more often than once thought. The protons and neutrons, which make up the atom's nucleus, frequently pair up. Now, a new high-precision experiment has found that these particles may pick di…

The new results come from a partnership with NASA's MAVEN mission.

Meet Mbiresaurus raathi, a 230 million-year-old dinosaur whose neighbors lived in Brazil.

Researchers at TU Dortmund University and Freie Universität Berlin have developed a process for producing new detergents for drug research. The purpose of the new detergents is to separate sensitive proteins from biomembranes so that they can be studied in de…

A major group of flowering plants that are still around today, emerged 150 million years earlier than previously thought, according to a new study published today in Trends in Plant Science. This means flowering plants were around some 50 million years before…

Structurally complex forests add to biodiversity, increase forest carbon stocks, and help the forest to adapt to climate change. Forest structure refers to the three-dimensional distribution of trees in a given space, and it is affected by genetic factors of …

James Webb telescope shared another galaxy's image. The image is of Phantom Galaxy. The galaxy is in face off earth, the image by webbb telescope has managed...

A team of researchers at the Sorbonne University of Paris reports a new way to emulate black hole and stellar accretion disks. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, the group describes using magnetic and electric fields to create a …
