Science News: A fossilised dinosaur egg was uncovered in South America, and scientists are calling it a remarkable discovery. The egg is estimated to be around 70 m.

“We’re now targeting March 6 as our earliest launch attempt ... there is still pending work."

His shell was fluffy instead of shiny.

A new study suggests that ancient microbes once cast as oxygen haters may have actually learned to use the gas, offering a clue to how the first complex cells — and, eventually, all plants and animals — evolved.

Advancements have made it possible to peek into a faraway galaxy that presented big scientific implications.

"These galaxies are very old, which means stars were being formed in the early universe, earlier than our current models predict."

An ancestral complex in the Arizona desert, known as Mummy Cave (Tse Yaa Kin), could rewrite the history of the American Southwest.

A newly-discovered planet named Enaiposha, GJ 1214 b, is unlike anything found in our own solar system, similar to a "super-Venus"

A towering cliff in Italy has revealed hundreds of meters of perfectly preserved Triassic dinosaur footprints, exposing ancient herd behavior in dramatic fashion.

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients or sudden drops in temperature—they quickly switch into su…

Almost half a century ago, a remarkable molecule called metallocene took center stage in chemistry, earning Geoffrey Wilkinson and Ernst Otto Fischer the Nobel Prize. These organic compounds, made of a transition metal "sandwiched" between two flat, ring-shap…

"Before XRISM, it was like we could see a picture of the storm. Now we can measure the speed of the cyclone."

: Good news: Team shows re-entry pollution can be measured. Bad news: There may be more of it coming

Two 325-million-year-old ctenacanth shark fossils discovered in Mammoth Cave shed light on ancient marine ecosystems.

With a new mathematical model, a team of biophysicists has revealed fresh insights into how biological tissues are shaped by the active motion of structural imperfections known as "topological defects." Published in Physical Review Letters, the results build …

In the depths of Colombia’s oceans, scientists have uncovered a captivating world of ancient, shimmering creatures that predate dinosaurs.

Deep inside the Greenland ice sheet, radar images have revealed strange, plume-like structures distorting the layering deposited over eons.

Researchers have long been puzzled by the observed cooling of the eastern tropical Pacific and the Southern Ocean accompanying global warming. Existing climate models have failed to capture this pattern. At the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, researcher…

Researchers at the LHC have uncovered new insights into the first moments after the Big Bang, offering a glimpse into the properties of the quark-gluon plasma that once filled the universe.

Many insects rely on heritable bacterial endosymbionts for essential nutrients that they cannot get through their diet. A new study, published in Nature Communications, indicates that the genomes of these symbiotic bacteria often shrink over time. Some of the…

Volcanic eruptions are significant geologic hazards. Underwater volcanoes are challenging to study, yet they play an integral role in marine geology and may cause destructive tsunamis that can threaten coastal communities.

Neanderthals disappeared from the fossil record approximately 40,000 years ago. Their extinction was a gradual process over thousands of years, and theories as to why include competition with modern humans and rapid climate change. However, there may have bee…

A frictionless superfluid that comes to a halt sounds impossible, yet scientists say they’ve just seen it happen, hinting at a rare supersolid state.

Researchers have identified a period of sluggish magnetic field flipping for planet Earth, some 40 million years ago – raising big questions about how long these reversals actually take, and how we might be affected by the next one.

Using the single-cell Deep Visual Proteomics technique, the authors develop a resource providing spatially resolved proteomic analysis of individual cells in human liver tissue.
