A new genus and species of nimravid from the middle Oligocene epoch has been identified from the fossilized remains found in northern China.

A massive rock layer unlike anything else found on the planet has been discovered beneath the island of Bermuda, and scientists have been left bemused.The layer measures 12.4 miles thick and sits just below the oceanic crust.

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope in Chile has released its final batch of data after 15 years — and it proves that the Hubble tension is very real.

No one has yet created a fully functioning artificial cell. But a research team at Aarhus University has taken a step in that direction:

For a carbon-neutral bioeconomy, processes are needed that can efficiently capture CO2 and convert it into valuable products. Formic acid, or more specifically its salt, formate, is considered a promising candidate as it can be produced from CO₂ using renewab…

A new computational approach developed at the University of Chicago promises to shed light on some of the world's most puzzling materials—from high-temperature superconductors to solar cell semiconductors—by uniting two long-divided scientific perspectives.

Astronomers Observe Spacetime Whirlpool for the First Time: This theoretical phenomenon was discovered after being predicted by Einstein.

A new study is revealing how a key difference in parenting strategies between dinosaurs and mammals could change our understanding of ancient ecosystems.

Our universe is filled with galaxies, in all directions as far as our instruments can see. Some researchers estimate that there are as many as 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. At first glance, these galaxies might appear to be randomly scattere…

Australian researchers have played a central role in a landmark result from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment in South Dakota—the world's most sensitive dark matter detector. Today, scientists working on the experiment report they have further narrowed constrain…

When postdoctoral researcher Matthew Zipple releases lab mice into a large, enclosed field just off Cornell's campus, something remarkable happens.

Policies should reflect the ‘new reality’ of researchers’ increasing reliance on tools that can summarize manuscripts and draft reports.

A small bioluminescent shark so rare that there are only two specimens in the entire world has been discovered in the Gulf of Mexico.

We’re in a golden era for dinosaur science.

"A bit like dinosaurs on Earth — they were enormous and primitive. And they had short lives, living for just a quarter of a million years."

The most powerful space telescope ever built and the car-size roving science lab on Mars are among 25 of the most iconic inventions the magazine has covered in the past quarter century.

“[In] any piece of beautiful mathematics, you almost always find that there is a physical system which actually mirrors the mathematics.”

Cephalopods—the class of animals that comprises octopuses and squids—are ubiquitous throughout the ocean, including in the deep sea. However, researchers still don't know very much about the distribution, diversity and behaviors of cephalopods in areas like t…

Once applied to building windows, the thin insulator could save houses a lot of energy in the future.

Scientists have discovered massive tunnels, but their origins are a mystery. These tunnels, not created by humans or geological processes.

Stricter climate policies would save hundreds of glaciers in Europe’s Alps and tens of thousands worldwide, study finds.

"This work shows without a doubt that Parker Solar Probe is diving deep with every orbit into the region where the solar wind is born."

A rare Australian fossil is turning evolutionary theories upside down—could this change everything we know about life on Earth?

Quantum technologies are systems that leverage quantum mechanical effects to perform computations, share information or perform other functions. These systems rely on quantum states, which need to be reliably transferred and protected against decoherence (i.e…

A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden extra dimensions. These dimensions could twist and evolve over time, forming stable structures that generate mass and symmetry breaking …
