Measurements of this interstellar comet’s molecular makeup show an excess of heavy water molecules that is dramatically ...

Scientists are grappling with a cosmic mystery: why does the Universe behave differently on massive scales compared to our ...

Chinese scientists and international collaborators have used one of the largest cosmological simulations ever created to "fast-forward" the universe from the Big Bang to the present day inside a ...

The new computer simulations are based on a magnetic field structure that is often associated with prominences: the magnetic ...

Prominences are cool plasma structures extending several thousand kilometers in the Sun’s hot corona. Some persist for weeks.

Study finds dry exoplanets may not support life without enough water to maintain their carbon cycle, even if they are in the ...

Compaction of agricultural soils constitutes a major threat to soil quality for plant growth, and for soil and water conservation in cultivated systems (Keller et al., 2019). Soil compaction can be ...

Exoplanet L98-59d, located far beyond our solar system, might not sound like someone’s dream destination. It likely has an underground ocean of magma, a surface temperature that reaches around 3,500 ...

(Nanowerk News) By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of ...

Electric motors account for a large share of global electricity consumption, particularly in water pumping applications for agriculture and urban infrastructure. Conventional solar water pump systems ...

The standard story of the origin of our solar system has gone like this: 4.6 billion years ago, a giant cloud of dust hung frozen in space. Then the explosion of a nearby star caused part of that dust ...
