We have the shadow, now let’s get down to the photon rings.

Researchers are now waking up to another factor why so many places on earth are getting warmer, one that could be filed under the category of unintended consequences: disappearing clouds known as ship tracks. From a report: Regulations imposed in 2020 by the …

It's a mind-blowing trip!

Climate change has long been considered as one of the greatest drivers of declining coral reefs, but the specifics of human impact have been largely unverified. In a new paper published in Nature, researchers tracked coral reef health in Hawaiʻi for 20 years—…

Detecting extremely distant stars, or those closest in time to the big bang, can provide insights into the first few chapters of the history of our universe. In 2022, the Hubble Space Telescope broke its own record, and spotted the most distant star yet. This…

Experiments in zebrafish and human tissues show that, during retinal morphogenesis, emerging photoreceptor cells migrate in a bidirectional manner, which lessens competition for space and helps to ensure that the retina is formed correctly.

Black holes may be notorious for sucking up anything that gets in their way, but we have nothing to worry about from the one in our galaxy’s heart. At least not for another four billion years.

Totally jawsome!

A new algorithm designed to detect potentially dangerous asteroids for Earth has just identified one that meets this characteristic. It is the first time that

A Walmart customer complained about the chain's refusal to refund him for 'stringy chicken' that he had thrown away. Viewers aren't having it.

Surveys of reef change are combined with a unique 20-year time series of land–sea human impacts and the results show that integrated land–sea management could help achieve coastal ocean conservation goals and provide coral reefs with the best opportunity…

Evidence is presented for a Pines’ demon as a three-dimensional acoustic plasmon in the multiband metal Sr2RuO4 from momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy using a collimated, defocused beam with high momentum resolution.

Climate-proxy data indicate that during the last glacial period in the Horn of Africa higher temperatures were associated with greater moisture availability, whereas during the current interglacial period, as well as historically, higher temperature…

Thanks to a complex mathematical algorithm, these plastic shapes follow a very specific route as they roll. In fact, researchers have shown that a shape can ...

Scientists were going for gold when they named this Tarantula.

Background Pathogenic viruses can be transmitted by female Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti) mosquitoes during blood-meal acquisition from vertebrates. Silencing of mosquito- and midgut-specific microRNA (miRNA) 1174 (miR-1174) impairs blood intake and increases mo…

By watching “minimal” cells regain the fitness they lost, researchers are testing whether a genome can be too simple to evolve.

Before the vacuum

A team of computer and electrical engineers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, working with several colleagues from California Institute of Technology and another pair from Anello Photonics has developed a first-of-its-kind chip that hosts both a…

Marking a significant milestone in the Artemis 2 space mission, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) unveiled its Orion spacecraft at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. The Artemis program aims to return humans to the Moon,

The process of the water evaporating from the cloth, thus lowering the temperature, mirrors how the human body cools down with sweat. At 100% relative humidity, wet-bulb temperature will be the same as the dry air temperature, but with less humidity it is lo…

NASA is embarking on a revolutionary project, sending three miniature rovers to the Moon to test their cooperative abilities in a harsh lunar environment. The success of this mission could change the future of autonomous exploration in space.

What was that strange string of lights in the sky in Houston on Tuesday night? It was a Starlink satellite train.

The lunar mission has an estimated cost of only $74 million, according to an estimate provided by the nation’s space research agency in 2020.

Inspired by the skulls’ similarities, Dr. Cheng and his colleagues compared Hupehsuchus skulls with those of 130 modern aquatic species, including baleen whales, toothed whales, seals, crocodiles,...
