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 ...

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 ...

The Hubble team has released a stunning new image snapped by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the massive spiral galaxy NGC 1961. NGC 1961 is located approximately 190 million light-years away ...

Neotropical crocodiles inhabit a broad geographic range with populations spanning from coastal, inland, and insular locations. In new research, scientists discovered a remarkable genetic diversity for ...

Paleontologists have discovered 50- to 25-million-year-old fossilized footprints of invertebrates and vertebrates, including a false saber-toothed cat (nimravid), at John Day Fossil Beds National ...

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 ...

Malus is a genus with over 35 species naturally distributed across the temperate northern hemisphere, from East Asia and Europe to North America. This genus includes the domesticated apple (Malus ...

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 ...

The new hybrid device combines decoupled sensors with a flexible wireless powering and transmitting module for emotion recognition, according to a research team headed by Penn State scientists. “This ...

Jewelry in a treasure hoard found in Thetford Forest, East Anglia, indicates that Thetford was pagan until the 5th century CE — significantly later than the previously established date of the 380-90s ...

The newly-discovered planet orbits at an angle of 90 degrees around 2MASS J15104786-2818174 (hereafter 2M1510), an eclipsing binary composed of two equal-mass brown dwarfs. Circumbinary planets are ...
