This week in science we discuss how the ocean is slowing climate change, the social life of humans' closest relatives and insects stuck in ancient amber.
An aircraft-sized asteroid is expected to pass Earth today, November 20, NASA has revealed. Know details such as speed, size, distance, and more, as per NASA.
In 1929, Hubble made another startling find. It was that all galaxies seemed to be receding from us with velocities that increased in proportion to their distance from us. A relationship now known as Hubble's Law.
A team of pioneering researchers from the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI) has made a significant leap forward in the complex world of molecular chemistry.
Their f ...
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Two Oregon State University College of Engineering faculty members are partnering with NASA on a $525,000 National Science Foundation project to examine the role that gravity, or the lack thereof, plays in microbial growth.
Water from Earth's surface can find its way deep into the planet, and new research explains how it changes the outermost region of the metallic liquid core.
Humans retain the potential to influence their fate, particularly in the near future In the early 19th century, the prevailing belief about the Universe was one of Determinism. Determinism, both a scientific and philosophical concept, posited that every event…
Subglacial environments on Earth offer important analogs to Ocean World targets in our solar system. These unique microbial ecosystems remain understudied due to the challenges of access through thick glacial ice (tens to hundreds of meters). Additionally, su…
To those familiar with optical telescopes, the idea of doing something to achieve higher resolution with their telescope may seem alien, if not, then practically impossible. A telescopes resolution is determined by among other things, its aperture – diameter …
A collaborative research team has confirmed quantum spin liquid behavior in the material KYbSe2, validating a decades-old hypothesis. This breakthrough, significant for quantum computing and superconductor development, was achieved using advanced neutron scat…
In a new textbook, The World of Sea Cucumber, a team of researchers, including Nagoya University professor Manabu Bessho-Uehara, takes us deep into the watery world of sea cucumbers and reveals the…
Mangalyaan2 Know the upcoming plans of ISRO After Chandrayaan3 and AdityaL1 ISRO is preparing to explore Mars with a mission named Mangalyaan2 also known as Mars Orbiter Mission2. The Indian Space Research Organisation ISRO has multiple space exploration miss…
Researchers say they have built an AI robot to carry out chemical reactions to produce oxygen from water on Mars. The team says the system could be a way for space travelers in the future to make much-needed oxygen on the Martian surface.
Researchers said that they treated moon-like soil with bacteria to make it more fertile. They said the result means crops could be grown on the moon, saving money and materials.
Since launching 16 months ago, the EMIT imaging spectrometer aboard the International Space Station has shown an ability to detect more than just surface minerals. More than a year after first detecting methane plumes from its perch aboard the International S…
