Dec. 3, 2020 — A small group of volcanic islands in Alaska's Aleutian chain might be part of a single, undiscovered giant volcano, say scientists. If the researchers' suspicions are correct, the newfound ...
Dec. 2, 2020 — One Friday evening in 1992, a meteorite ended a more than 150 million-mile journey by smashing into the trunk of a red Chevrolet Malibu in Peekskill, New York. Nearly 30 years later, a new analysis ...
Dec. 2, 2020 — Researchers have discovered that one of the most important reactions in the universe can get a huge and unexpected boost inside exploding stars known as ...
Dec. 2, 2020 — The most habitable region for life on Mars would have been up to several miles below its surface, likely due to subsurface melting of thick ice sheets fueled by geothermal heat, a new study ...
Dec. 2, 2020 — Astronomers developed a new method to calibrate detectors to the light from dust in our Galaxy, thereby describing a new physics, with 99.2 percent accuracy, that may show parity symmetry ...
Dec. 2, 2020 — Researchers have developed a way for a material to store energy in its skin through invertible ...
Dec. 2, 2020 — Research introduces temporary adhesives that don't require tearing or ripping to pull ...
Dec. 1, 2020 — Researchers have developed a way to accurately represent the behavior of elementary particles called neutrinos in computer simulations of the Universe. The simulation results reveal the effects of ...
Dec. 1, 2020 — An 81-year-old midnight snapper caught off the coast of Western Australia has taken the title of the oldest tropical reef fish recorded anywhere in the world. The octogenarian fish was found at the ...
Nov. 30, 2020 — By embedding titanium-based sheets in water, a group led by scientists has created a material using inorganic materials that can be converted from a hard gel to soft matter using temperature changes, ...
Nov. 30, 2020 — There is no weather in space - but there is weathering: Celestial bodies are bombarded by high energy particles. On the Mars moon Phobos, the situation is complicated: It is hit by particles from the ...
Nov. 30, 2020 — New antennas so thin that they can be sprayed into place are also robust enough to provide a strong signal at bandwidths that will be used by fifth-generation (5G) mobile devices. Performance results ...
Nov. 30, 2020 — The missing dark matter in certain galaxies can be explained by the effects of tidal disruption: the gravity forces of a neighboring massive galaxy, literally tearing the smaller galaxy ...
Nov. 30, 2020 — Earth 'just got' 7 km/s faster and about 2000 light-years closer to the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. But don't worry, this doesn't mean that our ...
Nov. 30, 2020 — Researchers report on a new model for spider silk assembly. The key to spider silk 'spinning' is a combination of acidification and a process known as liquid-liquid phase separation, or ...
Nov. 30, 2020 — A new study finds that invasive keyhole wasps at the Brisbane Airport were responsible for instances of fully blocked replica pitot probes -- vital instruments that measure airspeed. The results ...
