By chemically analyzing sequential samples from the baleen of dead whales, it is possible to read not only the history of the diet, but also the migration route of the animals. In the latest issue of the journal Royal Society ...
Collectively clocking in at nearly 60 trillion particles, a newly released set of cosmological simulations is by far the biggest ever produced.
When a handful of scientists tried to publish rapid research into the role of climate change in record rainfall that lashed Britain in 2015, they were told their high-speed approach was "not science".
Gadolinium-based contrast agents, the gold standard in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine the health of a patient, can be improved, according to Rice University engineers who are refining models they first used ...
Among the fierce carnivores that lived during the late Cretaceous was a predator named Daspletosaurus. The massive tyrannosaur, about nine meters long, lived in the coastal forest of what is now Alberta around 75 million ...
A trio of researchers at the University of British Columbia has found that froghoppers have cibarial pumps capable of sucking the xylem from plants by producing negative pressure exceeding 1 megapascal. In their paper published ...
A new molecular method reveals how different species of toothed whales compete for prey and which food they choose in each other's company. Marine scientists from NIOZ recently published their work in the scientific magazine ...
Astronomers have spotted a giant 'blinking' star towards the center of the Milky Way, more than 25,000 light years away.
A new study published by researchers from Royal Holloway, University of London and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew has concluded that caffeine—a naturally occurring compound found in the nectar of many plants—reduces the ...
New research by the University of New England's Palaeoscience Research Centre suggests juvenile tyrannosaurs were slenderer and relatively faster for their body size compared to their multi-tonne parents.
