For two weeks, medical experts monitor the astronauts as they remain indoors, live in isolation, and avoid physical touch, all to prevent harmful microbes from traveling to space.

A juvenile iguanodontian from the Lower Cretaceous of China preserves both spikes and scales in its skin that are different from integumentary structures in either non-avian dinosaurs or extant squamates and may have had a defensive function.

"It highlights gravity's possible hidden complexity and invites a reevaluation of where dark matter effects originate."

The Senckenberg Ocean Species Alliance (SOSA), in partnership with the scientific publisher Pensoft Publishers and science YouTuber Ze Frank, have let the internet name a newly discovered deep‑sea chiton (a type of marine mollusk). The formal description of t…
