The new theory, developed by physicists at Aalto University, describes gravity in a way that’s compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding of ...

A team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Ukraine has developed a new method for the safe reassessment of farmland abandoned after the Chornobyl nuclear accident in 1986. Since the Chornobyl ...

University of Portsmouth physicist Melvin Vopson proposes a new way to think about gravity — not just as a pull, but as something that happens when the Universe is trying to stay organized. The ...

Recent measurements from NASA’s InSight mission show that Mars’ core is less dense than planetary scientists previously believed. This indicates that Mars probably never developed a solid inner core ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has found evidence of a carbon cycle on ancient Mars, bringing scientists closer to an answer on whether the planet was ever capable of supporting life. Planetary researchers ...

A new genus and species of cymothoidan isopod that lived during the Early Cretaceous epoch has been identified from two well-preserved specimens found in Lebanon. Stemming from a freshwater lake ...

Electricity-conducting cable bacteria form a group of multicellular prokaryotes that enable electron transfer over centimeter-scale distances within marine and freshwater sediments. Biologists have ...

“To paraphrase the Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus, who famously said Panta Rhei — everything moves, we thought that perhaps Panta Kykloutai — everything turns,” said Dr. István Szapudi, an ...

NGC 1514’s two central stars, which appear as one in the image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, formed this scene over thousands of years — and will keep at it for thousands more. NGC ...

Dirt ants (genus Basiceros) are widely distributed yet rarely encountered members of Neotropical ecosystems. Their rarity is attributed to a cryptobiotic life habit. These ants possess specialized ...

Paleontologists have described the oldest known member of Haidomyrmecinae — an extinct subfamily of ants that only lived during the Cretaceous period — preserved as a rock impression in the limestone ...

High-energy photons produced deep in gamma-ray burst jets emerging from a collapsed star could dissolve the outer stellar layers into free neutrons, causing a series of physical processes that results ...
