Researchers are exploring ways to use clay-like topsoil materials from the moon or Mars as the basis for extraterrestrial cement that could be used by astronauts to create building materials for structures in outer space. University of Delaware professor Norm…

A new telescope image showcases two entangled galaxies that will eventually merge into one millions of years from now -- and previews the eventual, similar fate of our own Milky

A new telescope image showcases two entangled galaxies that will eventually merge into one millions of years from now -- and foreshadows the eventual, similar fate of our own Milky Way galaxy.

Anthropology professors and field primatologists have documented the daily life of hundreds of the large-brained capuchin monkeys in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. They have found that female capuchin monkeys who are better integrated into social networks with other…

A new study corrects an important error in the 3D mathematical space developed by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Erwin Schrödinger and others, and used by scientists and industry for more than 100 years to describe how your eye distinguishes one color from…

While SpaceX may be able to manage those conjunctions with its technology, it may be more difficult for other operators of satellite constellations.

Mystery solved: how massive dinosaurs carried their weight • Earth.com

India could be facing a water quality crisis as climate change affects the monsoon season, according to a new study from Carnegie’s Anna Michalak and Eva Sinha published in Environmental Science & Technology.

Scientists have cracked an enduring mystery, discovering how sauropod dinosaurs—like Brontosaurus and Diplodocus—supported their gigantic bodies on land.

Scientific Reports - Synthesis of vacant graphitic carbon nitride in argon atmosphere and its utilization for photocatalytic hydrogen generation

Many experimentally known high-pressure ice phase are structurally very similar. Here authors elucidate the phase behaviour of the high-pressure insulating ices and reveal solid-solid transition mechanisms not known in other systems.

Depending on how dark the sky is in your location, rates of 25 to 100 meteors per hour are possible.

LONDON: The world's biggest ice sheet could cause "several metres" of sea-level rise over centuries if the global temperature rises more than 2 degrees Celsius, according to a British study published Wednesday (Aug 10). Researchers at Durham University conclu…

An analysis of scholarly research papers published in the last 50 years provides new insights into trends in research productivity, highlighting an overall increase in productivity and a worldwide gender gap. Milad Haghani of the University of New South Wales…

By studying the wing properties of a 150-year-old holotype, scientists discover that the songs of a relict group of singing insects have remained largely unchanged since the Jurassic, producing pure-tone songs at low frequencies (about 5kHz) which could trave…

Researchers have used the coldest systems in the universe to realize in the laboratory gauge theories, key models of modern physics that describe the fundamental forces of Nature and the behavior of complex quantum materials.

A research team led by Prof. Yang Jun from the Institute of Urban Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has explored the spatial distribution of phytoplankton and zooplankton communities in 24 reservoirs in Southeast China.

Humankind has maintained an enduring fascination with the moon. It was not until Galileo's time, however, that scientists really began study it. Over the course of nearly five centuries, researchers put forward numerous, much debated theories as to how the mo…
