The crucial role of insects in the pollination of flowering plants is well known, but algal fertilization assisted by marine animals was hitherto deemed non-existent. A team led by a CNRS researcher from the Franco-Chilean ...

MIT researchers created protonic programmable resistors — building blocks of analog deep learning systems — that can process data 1 million times faster than synapses in the human brain. These ultrafast, low-energy resistors could enable analog deep learning …
The team of scientists analysed the rock fractures visible on the asteroid from the images, and discovered that the Sun's heat fractures rocks on the asteroid in just 10,000 to 100,000 years.
Ready to dig up some amazing shark teeth? National Geographic reveals how and where to find fossilized and modern teeth from your favorite marine predator.
To ensure a quick halt, brain circuit architecture avoids a slow process of integration in favor of quicker differentiation, a new neuroscience study finds.
A trio of researchers at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission has shown promising evidence of deuterium forming into a metallic state at high pressure. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, Paul Loubeyre, Flo…
The ESA's Mars Express has captured two ruptures in the Martian crust which appear like the United States' 'Grand Canyon'. The Valles Marineris is the largest canyon system in the Solar System.
A group of space rocks stays mostly inside the orbit of Earth, making them difficult to pick out in the glare of the sun—and potentially a threat to our planet.
When you hear the term “space archeology” you might envision a khaki-clad astronaut excavating the Moon. But, space archeologists are actually Earth-bound researchers who use satellite and other aerial imagery to assist in archeological applications right he…
