Phys.org / NASA's new space telescope will tackle some of the universe's biggest mysteries
NASA is about to launch a space observatory that could help settle some of the biggest mysteries in modern astronomy. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will study how the universe began, what it is made of and how it ...
Phys.org / Birds flying in 'V' formation save energy with flatter flaps, new research shows
Scientists have known for years that birds like geese and ibises gain an aerodynamic advantage from flying in a "V" formation. Now, researchers from Brown University have provided new insights into the nature of that advantage.
Medical Xpress / Is it worse to eat unhealthy food in the morning, or later in the day? And what if you skip breakfast?
Many of us have grown up with the mantra that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But whether it's snatching an extra half hour of sleep or focusing on getting the kids out of the house, there are various reasons ...
