This image from the NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) instrument on the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope shows the central portion of the star cluster IC ...

This image features an interacting galaxy system known as Arp-Madore 2105-332, that lies about 200 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Micros...

Predators in perpetual motion. Sleepless in our seas. If that's your image of sharks, you're not alone. And for good reason: sharks must swim to breathe (or so we were told). The science of how sharks sleep and breathe is linked, and while all sharks use gill…

Pine Island glacier is one of the fastest flowing outlets of ice from the west Antarctic ice sheet, draining an area three-quarters the size of the UK.

The utility is submitting a proposal to cut its supply rates starting in February.Subscribe to WMUR on YouTube now for more: http://bit.ly/1lOjX9CGet more Ma...

Drawing together an array of interdisciplinary studies across archaeology, ecology, anthropology, and evolutionary theory, Erle Ellis, professor of geography and environmental systems at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, explains the evolution of t…

University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers have used a spray coating technology to produce a new workhorse material that can withstand the harsh conditions inside a fusion reactor.

An analysis of 42 ancient stars in the Milky Way reveals the first hints of nuclear fission in the cosmos, hinting at the existence of elements far heavier than anything found naturally on Earth.

Researchers achieved a groundbreaking feat by creating the first complete cell atlas of a mammalian brain, specifically a mouse.

Scientific Reports - Identification, classification, and characterization of alpha and beta subunits of LVP1 protein from the venom gland of four Iranian scorpion species

Cousin to the long-necked plesiosaur, the carnivorous marine creatures were not dinosaurs but reptiles.

We all know that to have life on a world, you need three critical items: water, warmth, and food. Now add to that a factor called "entropy." It plays a role in determining if a given planet can sustain and grow complex life.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have now identified a welding technique that can be used to join composite metal foam (CMF) components together without impairing the properties that make CMF desirable. CMFs hold promise for a wide array of appl…

"The Steve spectrum is telling us there's some very exotic physics going on. We just didn't know what it was."

Chilling a huge wind tunnel to -47 degrees isn’t an easy task. The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, NASA’s predecessor, asked Willis Carrier, the inventor of air conditioning, to help design the refrigeration system for a facility that could test …

A solar eruption left a void around Mars last year, causing the red planet's atmosphere to balloon outward for a day.

A small ultraviolet telescope in a cubesat has been watching the atmospheres of some hot Jupiters evaporate.

Researchers trace the areas of the brain that are active when birds are using tools.

This finding suggests daydreams may influence how the brain processes visual information over time, potentially contributing to brain plasticity.

Researchers from the Bavarian Center for Battery Technology and the "SolTech" research network at the University of Bayreuth have presented a new production method for electrocatalysts: a fast, low-temperature synthesis of special ceramic materials (high-entr…

2024 is shaping up to be the year the U.S. returns spacecraft to the moon.

Astronomers at the University of Toronto have discovered a population of massive stars that have been stripped of their hydrogen envelopes by their companions in binary systems. The findings, published in Science, shed light on the hot helium stars that are b…
