Scientific Reports - Automatic registration of urban high-resolution remote sensing images based on characteristic spatial objects

Some insects (e.g., ants and some bees) live in intricately structured societies or colonies. Their colonies can comprise thousands of individuals specialized on different tasks. Most individuals are sterile, devoting their lives to colony tasks such as colle…

Three-dimensional reconstructions enable virtual exploration of pits on the Moon.

"To see a world in a grain of sand," the opening sentence of the poem by William Blake, is an oft-used phrase that also captures some of what geologists do.

Sensitive animal noses can sniff out trace particles, such as volatile organic compounds, in the ambient air. Humans, on the other hand, are developing innovative technologies for this purpose, such as optical spectroscopy. This uses laser light to detect the…

In a recent study published in Space Physics, an international team of researchers discuss an in-depth study examining the long-term physiological effects of solar radiation on astronauts with emphasis on future astronauts traveling to Mars, to include steps …

Analysis of over 3000 scientists shows that scientists with high citation rates are also more likely to collaborate with successful peers

NASA's dramatic DART mission aims to deflect an asteroid off course in September as a planetary defense test. Here's how you can watch it live.

Nasa has developed a high-powered laser which could be used to find water on the Moon, a discovery crucial for humans to further explore Earth’s closest neighbour.

Analysis of the genome and proteome shows that eukaryotic evolution gave rise to the regulatory function of chromatin. Two meters of DNA must fit into a nucleus that is just 8 millionths of a meter wide in practically every human cell. DNA must wrap around st…

Researchers pulled a coelacanth caught in 1960 from its jar of alcohol in a museum and gave it an MRI. Doing so reveals some of the fish's mysterious ways.

The geological past of Mars is getting more complex with increasingly detailed observations

After many machines, NASA and China now want to send astronauts to Mars as soon as possible

This new image, taken of the skies above Chile's Atacama Desert near the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) La Silla Observatory, shows bright red streaks in the sky known as red sprites.

JWST is currently revealing many previously unseen or undiscovered properties of our Universe. Even in the very first image released, three red spiral galaxies, which are super rare in our local Universe, can now be seen and analyzed down to structural detail…

Scientists from the European Space Agency (ESA) have created the first water map of Mars, based on data from its Mars Express Observatory and NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

A new analysis of a beaver anklebone fossil found in Montana suggests the evolution of semi-aquatic beavers may have occurred at least 7 million years earlier t

The James Webb Space Telescope has released its latest images, showcasing Jupiter in a way we’ve never seen before. And it’s mesmerising.
