As far as we know, there is exactly one planet in our solar system—and the galaxy—which hosts life. And you're on it.
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers led by researchers at the Cosmic Dawn Center in Copenhagen, have investigated a galaxy seen almost 11 billion years back in time. Contrary to typical ...
Hurricane Lee became the busy 2023 hurricane season's first Category 5 storm and one of the most intense hurricanes on record in the Atlantic Ocean. As hurricane Lee's uncertain storm track could potentially take it towards ...
Our best understanding of the universe is rooted in a cosmological model known as LCDM. The CDM stands for cold dark matter, where most of the matter in the universe isn't stars and planets, but a strange form of matter that ...
A major red tide event occurred in waters off Southern California in the spring of 2020, resulting in dazzling displays of bioluminescence along the coast. The spectacle was caused by exceedingly high densities of Lingulodinium ...
Researchers at the University of Johannesburg have developed a new type of photocatalyst that harnesses the visible portion of the sunlight spectrum. Currently, economical and environmentally-friendly photocatalysts only ...
Nothing can evoke an existential perspective-spiral quite like looking at an image of a galaxy. At first glance, these sublime structures may appear rather serene. But in fact the center of many galaxies is a turbulent environment ...
A study of 12 species of highly migratory fish predators—including sharks, tuna, and billfish such as marlin and swordfish—finds that most of them will encounter widespread losses of suitable habitat and redistribution ...
Defects often limit the performance of devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The mechanisms by which defects annihilate charge carriers are well understood in materials that emit light at red or green wavelengths, ...
Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have taken a closer look at a short-period high-mass X-ray binary known as CXOU J121538.2+361921. Results of the observational campaign, ...
