Ceratopsians were horned, beaked dinosaurs that once stomped their way all over North America and Asia during the Late Cretaceous period, about 80 million years ago. Their abundance in the fossil records of these continents, ...

Using the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT), Indian astronomers have performed multi-frequency observations of a repeating fast radio burst designated FRB 20201124A. Results of these observations shed more ...

A group of scientists, including Sergey Frolov, professor of physics at the University of Pittsburgh, and co-authors from Minnesota and Grenoble have undertaken several replication studies centered around topological effects ...

Extreme weather events have become significantly more common in the Arctic over recent decades, posing a threat to vital polar ecosystems, according to new research by an international team of scientists.

Using a blend of computer modeling, structural and cell-based studies, scientists at The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute have designed a group of potential diabetes drugs that reprogram insulin-resistant cells into a healthier ...

A quantum trick based on interferometric measurements allows a team of researchers at LMU to detect even the smallest movements of a laser beam with extreme sensitivity.

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have uncovered previously unobserved oscillation states—so-called Floquet states—in tiny magnetic vortices. Unlike earlier experiments, which required energy-intensive ...

Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder may have solved a pressing mystery about the universe's gravitational wave background.

Mars, often depicted as a barren red planet, is far from lifeless. With its thin atmosphere and dusty surface, it is an energetic and electrically charged environment where dust storms and dust devils continually reshape ...

Conventional vaccine adjuvants primarily rely on molecular binding and biochemical stimulation to activate immune responses, which often leads to limited efficacy in elderly or low-responsive populations. How to introduce ...

For the first time, scientists have answered a longstanding question in cell biology about a partnership of proteins called the "KICSTOR–GATOR1 complex" which operates as a control system inside our cells, telling them ...

Controlling light is an important technological challenge—not just at the large scale of optics in microscopes and telescopes, but also at the nanometer scale. Recently, physicists at the University of Amsterdam published ...
