Excavations by a University of Kansas paleontologist working in a treasure trove of fossils called the "Spence Shale Lagerstätte" have revealed an ancient sea worm unknown to science until now. The finding has now been published in the journal Historical Biol…

Doorbell cameras and dashcams in East Tennessee and several other states captured a stunning meteor streak across the sky in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Sandwich compounds are special chemical compounds used as basic building blocks in organometallic chemistry. So far, their structure has always been linear. Recently, researchers made stacked sandwich complexes form a nano-sized ring. Physical and other prope…

It could be very useful, but we don’t yet know if only precious metals do it.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a “potentially hazardous asteroid.”

Using off-the-shelf consumer batteries, scientists stimulated insulin release from engineered human cells implanted in diabetic mice and restored the rodents' normal blood sugar levels.

Shortly before the rover’s 11th anniversary on the Red Planet, its team helped guide it up a steep, slippery slope to examine meteor craters.

The James Webb Space Telescope’s observations could help to answer questions about how the celestial objects formed early in the Universe.

The Aeolis satellite's intentional destruction in Earth's atmosphere marks a significant milestone in the quest to ensure a safe low Earth orbit.

An escarpment around Olympus Mons appears similar to those around volcanic islands on Earth.

Scientists have discovered that Canterbury Cathedral has been hit by a series of meteorites - or more accurately micrometeorites.A team from the University o...

Analysing >18,000 effect sizes from recent ecology studies published in five leading journals, the authors identify widespread under-powered designs, exaggeration bias, selective reporting and few corrections for multiple hypotheses among statistically sig…

A study of over 18,000 effect sizes from more than 350 published studies in ecology finds clear evidence of selective reporting and exaggeration of effect sizes.

The 2023 International Space Station Research and Development Conference (ISSRDC) in Seattle was in full swing yesterday with a full schedule of sessions and events showcasing how the space station continues to…

From forest floor to space, NASA scientists and collaborators are advancing tools and methods to predict, remotely detect, and ultimately mitigate wildfires....

A research group from Chapman University and other institutions have applied new interference radar functions to enhance the distance resolution between objects that makes use of radar waves.

Every year several asteroids fly by Earth, even some getting closer to Earth than the Moon. According to NASA’s JPL, there will be two asteroids that are set to make the closest approach towards Earth today.

Genetic elements called Mavericks that have some viral features could be responsible for the large-scale smuggling of DNA between species.

The Zoom screen flickered, just for a second, as Valentina Bisogni, Jonathan Pelliciari, and Jiemin Li, three scientists at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), shared their excitement about the multi-magnon excitations they discovered. Their f…

Research reveals that the Olympus Mons and Alba Mons volcanoes on Mars exhibit features similar to Earth's active volcanic islands, likely indicating past interaction between lava and liquid water. This supports the hypothesis that a vast ocean may have once …

The Sun unleashed a massive solar outburst, called a coronal mass ejection (CME), that simultaneously reached Mars, the Earth, and the Moon.

In an experiment on how turbulent boundary layers respond to acceleration in the flow around them, aerospace engineers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign observed an unexpected internal boundary layer.
