Scientists have long debated how much water Mars once held and how it faded to today’s arid world. A new study in…

Twelve million years ago, a huge flightless predator known as a “terror bird” sprinted across tropical floodplains in what is now central Colombia.

Archaeologists discovered a single broken leg bone – evidence that turns a fragment into a…

The first charged aerosol detector (CAD) was introduced in 2005. Nearly twenty years later, this near-universal detector has become an indispensable tool in the analytical chemist’s quantitative arsenal. This paper explores the CAD’s origin…

The discovery of 1I/Oumuamua, 2I/Borisov and 3I/ATLAS showed that significant numbers of interstellar objects populate interstellar space. Their omnipresence means that such objects also reside in protoplanetary disks, which are the reservoir…

Two greenish-hued comets are swinging through the inner solar system this fall, offering a rare chance to spot them in the coming weeks.

The comets, named C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) and C/2025 R2 (SWAN), are visible from the Northern Hemisphere now as…

Newswise — Scientists are exploring many ways to use light rather than heat to drive chemical reactions more efficiently, which could significantly reduce waste, energy consumption, and reliance on…

A gorgeous white-as-light Border Collie with eyes that look strange and beautiful is taking the internet by storm. This is the kind of pup David Bowie would write a song about. Like they’re seeing a world the rest of us can’t. He looks like the…

Michigan State University scientists have pinpointed the molecular “switch” that supercharges sperm for their final sprint to an egg — a breakthrough that could reshape infertility treatments and pave the way for safe, nonhormonal male…
