In the Standard Model of particle physics, the masses of the carriers of the weak interaction, the W and Z bosons, are uniquely related. Physics beyond the Standard Model can change this relationship ...

Bubble use evolved in many small invertebrates to enable underwater breathing, but, until recently, there has been no evidence that vertebrate animals use bubbles in a similar manner. Only one group ...

Using images from the JunoCam instrument aboard NASA’s Juno spacecraft, planetary scientists have spotted a fresh volcano with multiple lava flows and volcanic deposits covering an area about 180 x ...

These giant, hot bubbles of gas on the surface of R Doradus are approximately 75 times the size of our Sun, according to a paper published in the journal Nature. R Doradus is located approximately 178 ...

Martian ‘spiders’ are small, dark, spider-shaped features up to 1 km (0.6 miles) across. The leading theory is that they form when spring sunshine falls on layers of carbon dioxide deposited over the ...

Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui, is one of the most isolated inhabited places in the world. It has captured the imagination of many owing to its archaeological record, which includes megalithic ...

Chemists at the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research have provided experimental evidence that sulfurous acid (H 2 SO 3), once formed in the gas phase, is kinetically stable enough to allow its ...

This milestone promises to enhance our understanding of the Sun’s atmosphere and how its changing conditions lead to impacts on our technology-dependent society. Earth’s magnetic field shields us from ...

In 2015, archaeologists discovered the fossilized remains of a Neanderthal individual at Grotte Mandrin, a rockshelter located in Mediterranean France directly overhanging the Rhône River Valley.

Paleontologists from the University of New South Wales have unearthed the fossilized remains of three new species in the thylacinid genera Badjcinus, Nimbacinus, and Ngamalacinus in the Upper ...

At least 140 million Sun-like stars in our Milky Way Galaxy are likely to have experienced a similar stellar flyby, according to new research by a team of astrophysicists from the Forschungszentrum ...

Paleontologists from the University of Bath and elsewhere have described a new genus and species of kritosaurin hadrosaurid dinosaur from a partial skull found in the Late Cretaceous Cerro Del Pueblo ...
