Not everything that flows into the sea is waste. "In the past, we've heard that runoff and drainage from land is bad for the ocean. Now we see that it can also be an important resource," says Juan Pardo, Ph.D. student in the Center for Coastal Research (CCR) …

Climatic warming is altering the structure and function of alpine ecosystems, including shifts of vegetation boundaries. The upward shift of alpine treelines, the uppermost limit of tree growth forming the boundary between montane forest and alpine communitie…

Researchers combine acoustic waves with a nozzle to separate and control nanorods, an approach that could be applied to the movement of bacteria.

The surface of the moon tells the story of the inner solar system. Every meteorite that hits leaves its mark, and together those craters hold a record of the events that have occurred on and around the moon over the past 4 billion years.

Trees and shrubs at alpine treelines respond differently to warming, with trees gaining an advantage.

CRISPR gene editing offers promising solution to reduce environmental impact of paper industry: Report

A defunct spacecraft, Aeolus, which is the size of a car, is expected to crash on Earth within weeks, the European Space Agency (ESA) said. The ESA added that the satellite is running out of fuel and is falling towards Earth at the rate of 1 km/day. The ESA w…

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a monster in the making in this observation of the exceptional galaxy cluster eMACS J1353.7+4329, which lies about eight billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Canes Venatici. This collection of at…

The phenomenon of people being struck by meteorites is extremely rare, with the majority of them falling into the ocean.

A team of scientists has recently published that even the simple presence of people and ozone indoors can result in significant levels of OH radical production

Containing more than 850 species, fig trees are one of the most diverse groups of plants in the world.

UChicago study explores how A.I. can predict discoveries and who will make them

Three specks of light observed by the James Webb Space Telescope might be coming from supermassive stars forged with ancient dark matter.

Magnetic fields are common throughout the universe but incredibly challenging to study. They don't directly emit or reflect light, and light from all along the electromagnetic spectrum remains the primary purveyor of astrophysical data. Instead, researchers h…

Last year, NASA's Near Infrared Camera took its own selfie for "engineering and alignment purposes.” Will the wonders of this space explorer never cease? | Trending

The new dating system doesn't change estimates of the moon's age as a whole, which remains around 4.53 billion years.

JWST celebrates its first year of operation. The Extremely Large Telescope is half-built. A black hole suddenly roars into life., and India's Chandrayan-3 mi...

With their bright orange tails and elongated snouts, redtail garras are a popular aquarium fish. Yet while these fish have graced aquariums for decades, information about their biology has been hard to find — because they were just recently described by scien…

A team of scientists led by researchers from the University of Leicester have discovered that the genes required for learning, memory, aggression and other complex behaviors originated around 650 million years ago.

Research led by Sichuan University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China, has revealed genetic mechanisms that could prolong healthy aging. In the paper, titled "Partial inhibition of class III PI3K VPS-34 ameliorates motor aging and prolon…

A team of astrophysicists with members from China, the U.S. and Germany has discovered ionized gas nebulae surrounding three luminous red quasars featuring pairs of "superbubbles." In their study, reported in the journal Science Advances, the team spotted and…

A team of astrophysicists analyzed images from the James Webb Space Telescope and found three bright objects that might be "dark stars," which are theoretical objects much bigger and brighter than our sun.

This may be the first known meteorite to come from Earth, be yeeted into outer space, and then come back.
