Researchers in Argentina have discovered remains of a tiny, herbivorous dinosaur with protective spikes, suggesting the group it belongs to lived in a much wider area than originally thought.

Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev has been forced to return to the airlock at the International Space Station after an electrical problem on his spacesuit during a space walk

The impact of environmental conditions on the dynamic structures of RNAs in living cells has been revealed by innovative technology developed by researchers at the John Innes Centre.

Nation World News - In a new study, researchers found that the earliest known fruit-eating bird was an ancient bird called Jeholornis that lived 120 million

Meet R136a1, the most mass star known. Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, it’s a hulking behemoth weighing somewhere between 150 and 200 times the mass of the Sun. Understanding the upper limit of stars helps astronomers peace together everything from the…

It is common for young animals, in particular mammals, to play. Researchers at Linköping University (LiU), Sweden, have for the first time mapped the developm

Sun et al. has studied the genetically encodable halotyrosines in proteins of the prokaryotic cell division machinery to elucidate the general role of halogenation in cellular lifespan and oxidative damage-induced diseases such as aging and cancer.

The small dinosaur was part of the Cretaceous period, the last era of the dinosaurs, and lived between 97 million and 94 million years ago.

After three years of design and construction, a monthlong boat ride across the Pacific Ocean, and a lift from a 30-ton crane, the customized test chamber for NASA's upcoming SPHEREx mission has finally reached its destination at Caltech's Cahill Center for As…

Scientists have only recently gotten an up-close look at asteroids, as well as the chance to examine material from them in a lab. Before that, all we had were the remains of asteroids that fell to Earth, but what part of the original space rocks even are they?

Once considered an inert tissue, fat—or adipose tissue—is now known to play an active role in the body's critical functions by secreting hormones that regulate hunger and body temperature. Body fat comes in several varieties; for example, white adipose tissue…

Observation by Event Horizon Telescope confirms prediction of general relativity

The first image of the black hole at the heart of the galaxy M87 has been 'remastered' to reveal forces at work around the behemoth.

Researchers have developed a machine learning model to identify and monitor over time the spread of invasive species from satellite images.

A team of researchers with members affiliated with several institutions in Japan has learned more about the process involved in the development of natural symbiotic relationships by engineering an artificial one between E. coli and stinkbugs.

Simulations show how continental configuration affects ocean oxygenation.

According to NASA, Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) can carry the mass of over 250 elephants and has the energy of 75 trillion lightning strikes.

More must be done to forecast and try to manage globally disruptive volcanic eruptions. The risks are greater than people think.

Spatial-ATAC-seq—spatially resolved chromatin accessibility profiling of tissue sections using next-generation sequencing—delineated tissue-region-specific epigenetic landscapes in mouse embryos and identified gene regulators involved in the development of th…

Analysis of a series of Earth system model experiments shows that continental rearrangement during the Phanerozoic had a marked influence on variations in ocean oxygenation, independent of atmospheric pO2.

Analyses of newly discovered specimens of the early Cambrian microscopic animal Saccorhytus coronarius support its taxonomic classification in total-group Ecdysozoa.

New CARS microscopy approach lays groundwork for label-free, user-friendly clinical device.

All the complex systems under development — the rocket, the capsule, lunar landers and spacesuits — still have to go under one roof. And quickly.

A team of neurophysicists, led by Malte Brammerloh of MPI CBS, found evidence that the identification of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sign for Parkinson's diagnosis, as a specific anatomical region in the brain, is widespread but not at all correct. A b…
