The complexity of life on Earth was derived from simplicity: From the first protocells to the growth of any organism, individual cells aggregate into basic clumps and then form more complex structures. The earliest cells ...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has detected solar-like oscillations and ellipsoidal variations in the light curve of a binary system known as 12 Boötis (or ...
The quantum vibrations in atoms hold a miniature world of information. If scientists can accurately measure these atomic oscillations, and how they evolve over time, they can hone the precision of atomic clocks as well as ...

Mapping the interior of the ice giants is difficult, to say the least. Not only are they far away and therefore harder to observe, but their constant ice cover makes it extremely hard to detect what lies underneath. So scientists ...
