NEW YORK (AP) — Today’s sharks have nothing on their ancient cousins. A giant shark that roamed the oceans millions of years ago could have devoured a...

A mathematical model developed by space medicine experts from the ANU could be used to predict whether an astronaut can safely travel to Mars and fulfil their mission duties upon stepping foot on the Red Planet.

Join NASA’s Orion spacecraft on its first mission around the Moon using the Artemis Real-time Orbit Website (AROW) to track the spacecraft’s flight as it happens.

In 1815, the Tambora volcano in Indonesia erupted and 100,000 people died. That was not where the effects ended. The soot thrown into the stratosphere meant tha

Ten multidisciplinary research teams will receive a combined $1,180,000 in funding from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA), the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the Frederick Gardner Cottrell Foundation, and Walder Foundation in the second yea…

Dispersion paints are mostly used in households for painting walls and ceilings. An interdisciplinary research team from the University of Bayreuth has now analysed the chemical composition of two typical dispersion paints and discovered a large number of sol…

Now, researchers say ubiquitous evidence for ongoing geological carbon sequestration in mantle rocks in the creeping sections of the SAF is one underlying cause of aseismic creep along a roughly 150 kilometer-long SAF segment between San Juan Bautista and Par…

Researchers at Stockholm University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences have developed a novel value chain for production of textile and bio-fuel from fast-growing poplars. By applying sustainable catalysis on these poplars grown on marginal l…

A study UCLA professor Amy Rowat led appearing in the August 2022 edition of the journal Biomaterials signals a step forward for the cultured meat effort. Rowat and her colleagues take on a fundamental limitation, that animal cells require some sort of scaffo…

What if Earth was thrown out of orbit? Could we survive the suns heat? Find out in this clip from Season 1 of "Doomsday: 10 Ways the World Will End."#Countdo...

In a vivid confirmation of theoretical prediction, scientists have discerned a sharp ring of light created by photons whipping around the back of a supermassive black hole. When astronomers revealed humanity’s historic first image of a black hole in 2019 – de…

We might be peering into the Milky Way's future.

Octopus brains are nothing like ours—yet we have much in common.

Eruptions of plasma from the sun are careening toward Earth and will likely cause a geomagnetic storm.That could bring the aurora borealis south to New York,

A team of scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have just released the largest image taken by the telescope so far. The image is a mosaic of 690 individual frames taken with the telescope’s Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and it covers an area of sky …

We report a process that pressurizes volatiles into nano-pores of type 1 glassy carbon precursors, converts the glassy carbon into nanocrystalline diamond by heating, and synthesizes free-standing nanostructured diamond capsules (NDCs) capable of permanently …

An experiment revealed that chomping on slightly tougher material requires markedly more energy. Spending less time on mastication may go hand in hand with human evolution.

With antibiotic-resistant bacteria on the rise, scientists have been searching for ways to shut down the Type IV secretion system (T4SS), a protein complex on the outer envelope of bacterial cells that helps them to exchange DNA with neighboring bacteria and …

Wednesday’s mission was the seventh spacewalk for Oleg Artemyev.

Prof. Willy Kley, a pioneer in the field of protoplanetary disks, unexpectedly died in December 2021. Today's post commemorates Willy's legacy and summarizes a scientific conference that was held in memory of Willy in the beginning of August.

A Texas A&M AgriLife Research project will take a deep look at the ages-long interaction between parasitic lice and mammal species, including humans.

A newly discovered crater off the coast of West Africa was likely caused by an asteroid more than 400 meters wide that hit the Earth around the same time as the space rock that doomed the dinosaurs to extinction.
