This review summarizes our understanding of early-type dwarfs, which are the end-points of the evolution of low-mass galaxies. Their primeval stellar populations provide a unique laboratory for studying the physical conditions on small scales at epochs beyond…

A number of recent laboratory studies—summarized in this Review—have improved our understanding of the origin of presolar grains, with at least a quarter of presolar grains now being understood to originate in supernovae and their progenitors.

The powerful next-generation James Webb Space Telescope may have likely spotted its first supernova, according to astronomers.

Root exudates play a key role in modulating the soil microbiota. The export of bitter triterpenes (mediated by a Multidrug and Toxic Compound Extrusion protein) shapes the rhizosphere, leading to robust disease resistance.

Ecological mechanisms governing inheritance of bacterial and fungal communities from seed to seed in rice are revealed. The inherited microbes dominate each community at the ripening stage, and parental seeds and stem endosphere are major sources.

Depending on the form and technique, diving into a swimming pool can either be poetry in motion or the aquatic equivalent of a car wreck.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope had captured some spectacular images of 100 million stars in Andromeda Galaxy.

Scientists have been left baffled after discovering the Earth is spinning faster than normal – making days shorter than usual.

Media accreditation is now open for the launch of the fifth SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket that will carry astronauts to the International Space Station for a science expedition mission as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program

Dead, spore-infested female flies lure males to their doom, perhaps with an attractive odour.

UD's Priyanka Ketkar lands National Institute of Standards and Technology postdoc position for polymer research

An international team of researchers has observed part of the formation of a dwarf galaxy, helping to explain how they evolve from a dwarf state to maturity. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group describes finding evidence of maturation in…

A previously unknown species of giant panda that roamed Europe's wetlands 6 million years ago has been identified after the discovery of two teeth stored in a Bulgarian museum.

In materials science, the term "2D materials" refers to crystalline solids that consist of a single layer of atoms, with arguably the most famous example being graphene — a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms. These materials are promising for a w…

The rocks, which were brought back in the initial mission, are currently being studied with help of state-of-the-art laboratory equipment.

Axions and axion-like particles that have not yet been identified may hold the key to solving some of the universe’s greatest mysteries, including dark matter and charge-parity violation in strong interactions.

People initially appear to have collected or cultivated an ancient ancestor of today's watermelon for its seeds, not its flesh, researchers report.
