Molecular clouds, which are dense areas of gas and dust, are the birthplace of stars. Gravity pulls on material, drawing it inward, but internal pressure counteracts this force, pushing it outward. Scientists have long theorized that a third…

BEIJING, March 21 (Xinhua) — A global research team has used a new technique to capture minute-scale structural changes in farmland soil, revealing how farming practices influence soil water dynamics.

The team, led by the Institute of Geology and…

For decades, scientists have struggled to create lasers that operate in the vacuum ultraviolet region, a part of the spectrum with extremely short wavelengths between visible light and X-rays.

These wavelengths, typically around 100–200…

Gravitational waves are usually hunted by measuring distance—how space itself stretches and shrinks ever so slightly. However, a new study takes a completely different route—don’t measure the ripple (the wave), watch what it does to…

For more than a century, scientists have known that Earth wasn’t always the cooler, ice-capped planet we live on today.

As recently as three million years ago, temperatures and sea levels were higher – evidence that appears in everything from…
