More than 20 years ago, the BBC's "Walking with Dinosaurs" TV documentary series showed a 25-meter-long Liopleurodon. This sparked heated debates over the size of this pliosaur as it was thought to have been wildly overestimated ...
With a single letter seemingly etched in the X-ray glow around it, a giant black hole at the center of a massive elliptical galaxy is making a mark on its surroundings.
Photonic chips have revolutionized data-heavy technologies. On their own or in concert with traditional electronic circuits, these laser-powered devices send and process information at the speed of light, making them a promising ...
A fossil of a "royal fish"—estimated to be more than 66 million years old—is the first ever to be found in Africa.
The COVID-19 pandemic created an explosion in the use of disposable face masks around the globe. This added to the already significant amount of PPE waste generated by hospitals and in other medical settings.
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are now losing more than three times as much ice a year as they were 30 years ago, according to a new comprehensive international study.
Scientists can now use light to activate protein functions both inside and outside of living cells. The new method, called light-activated SpyLigation, can turn on proteins that are normally off to allow researchers to study ...
X-ray microscopes have the advantage of penetrating most substances, so internal organs and skeletons can be observed non-invasively through chest X-rays or CT scans. Recently, studies to increase the resolution of X-ray ...
Scientists working on laser application at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics (RAP) have employed a new technique using GHz bursts of femtosecond laser pulses grouped in MHz envelopes—termed BiBurst mode—to greatly ...
Developed at Harvard, and successfully tested at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), a revolutionary new meta-optics for microscopes with extremely high spatial and temporal resolution has proven its functional ability ...
