"(The) Gonkoken nanoi is not an advanced duck-billed dinosaur, but rather an older transitional duck-billed lineage: an evolutionary link to advanced forms," said Alexander Vargas, another study author. The extensive research allowed scientists to digitally …

There are various ways to image biological samples on a microscopic level, and each has its own pros and cons. For the first time, a team of researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, have combined aspects from two of the leading imaging techn…

A team of researchers has developed a new imaging technique called RESORT, combining the benefits of super-resolution fluorescence and vibrational imaging. RESORT, which uses laser-based Raman scattering, enables high spatial resolution imaging without damagi…

Nature is the ultimate testing ground and source of inspiration for many engineering principles.Through the trial and error of natural selection, organisms develop innovative methods to withstand and even thrive in adverse conditions. By applying nat

Recognizing the ultrafast laser-to-thermal conversion capacity and the impermeable, flexible features of graphene Dr. Ye-Chuang Han and Prof. Zhong-Qun Tian conceived the idea of using the material as the diffusion-constrained nanoreactor for high-temperature…

The theory of general relativity (GR), proposed by Einstein over a century ago, remains one of the most well-known scientific postulates of all time. This theory, which explains how spacetime curvature is altered in the presence of massive objects, remains th…

Researchers from the U.S. and Switzerland, including Senckenberg scientist and first author Dr. Adrienne Jochum, have described the first fossil Carychium land snails from Florida. The rock layer containing the snail fossils, which are only a few millimeters …

Two NASA astronauts had stunning views of Earth on Thursday as they upgraded the power system on the International Space Station.Steve Bowen and Woody Hoburg conducted the last of two planned spacewalks to install roll-out solar arrays.The new arrays

The World-Formerly-Known-As-The-Ninth-Planet is constantly a source of mystery and wonder.

The most interesting parts of nature are often the imperfections. That's especially true in quantum physics, the atomic-level world where tiny flaws can make a big difference in the ways particles behave and interact.

Crops have a high nutritional value, which makes them essential to people. However, this also makes them attractive to harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi. In fact, most pathogens can only attack specific plants and there has been exten

Microglia cells, which play a major role in the immune system of the brain, are difficult to study. Researchers have now succeeded in modelling the development of the brain and its immune system using organoids. With these miniature models of groups

A long-suspected black hole may have finally come out of hiding. A monstrously massive black hole in a distant galaxy probably has a smaller companion that orbits it every 12 years. But that tiny partner has never been detected. Now, astronomers claim to have…

In a recent comprehensive review article, researchers from the Nanoscience Center at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, discuss the unique properties of nanometer-size metal clusters that make them suitable for various applications in catalysis, bioimaging…

Paderborn researchers from the Department of Physics and the Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS) have succeeded in manufacturing quantum dots—nanoscopic structures where the material's quantum properties come into play—that glow in the optical C-ba…

A joint research group led by Prof. Sheng Dong and Prof. Lu Zhengtian from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), investigated the coupling effect between neutron spin and gravitational force via emp…

The new panorama snapped by NASA's Curiosity rover combines photos from two different times of day to create a highly detailed image of the Red Planet.

The volcano last erupted in 1538 but is now at a greater risk of rupture than ever.

A new study reveals that real-time library searching significantly improves the structural characterization of glycerophospholipids and sphingomyelins, offering enhanced selectivity and comprehensive analysis. By utilizing real-time identifications to trigger…

A newly published study reveals that double spacer disk antennas enable the simultaneous detection of molecules in a surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) sensor platform.

Earth's continents are part of what makes our planet uniquely habitable, yet surprisingly little is understood about these areas of land.

Warning of the catastrophic collapse of a neutron star could come in the form of potentially detectable radio bursts in the 10–20 gigahertz range.

Dropping a rotating plastic bottle containing water results in a bounce whose height depends on the rotation rate.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day takes us on a virtual journey of the fascinating Universe. This week, NASA has shared snaps of Earth's largest human-made satellite, Moons crossing Jupiter, Shark Nebula, Aurora, and more.
