The industrially ravaged Gowanus Canal, long regarded as a symbol of urban environmental neglect, is being reimagined through the lens of scientific inquiry as a complex reservoir of microbial life shaped by intense selective ...
A study by Dr. Matthew S. Taylor, published in the Journal of Osteoarchaeology, reports on the reanalysis of modified human bones discovered at several prehistoric South Texas archaeological sites.
Astronomers from Swinburne University in Australia and elsewhere have employed the Keck II telescope to investigate the globular cluster system of an ultra-diffuse galaxy designated NGC5846_UDG1. Results of the observations, ...
The detection of dark matter, the elusive type of matter predicted to make up most of the universe's mass, is a long-standing goal in the field of astrophysics. As dark matter does not emit, reflect or absorb light, it cannot ...
A pair of physicists at Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, in Argentina, have created a computer simulation of the famed Antikythera Mechanism and in so doing have found that manufacturing inaccuracies may have caused ...
Researchers looking into the origin of domestic cats have long considered that cats likely accompanied early farmers during the Neolithic, spreading through Europe alongside the adoption of agriculture.
Over the past decades, researchers have been trying to develop increasingly advanced and powerful quantum computers, which could outperform classical computers on some tasks. To attain this, they have been trying to identify ...
For many years it was believed that the surface of most, if not all, white dwarfs was made up primarily of hydrogen. But then, two years ago, a white dwarf was spotted by a team of researchers that had a hydrogen surface ...
An international team of astrophysicists and planetary scientists has discovered a possible link between magnetospheric activity and ionospheric turbulence. In their study published in the journal Physical Review Letters, ...
Rising ocean temperatures and lingering industrial toxins are proving deadly for short-beaked common dolphins in UK waters. Researchers led by the Zoological Society of London have drawn a clear connection between environmental ...
