Acrylic coatings play a vital role in thermal insulation applications, but enhancing their efficiency requires advanced material engineering. This study explores the incorporation of pure silica fume nanoparticles (SF NPs) and…
A seemingly simple question has plagued scientists for more than a century: What controls the size of a cell? Just as body size may determine whether a football player is better suited to be a running back or a lineman, cell size shapes…
Curtin University scientists have developed a new technique to explore the deep history of Australia’s landscapes. The approach could help researchers understand how the environment responds to geological activity and climate shifts, while also…
Scientists have identified a nearly four-foot predator preserved for 55 million years as a new tarpon relative, one of the most complete fossil members of this group ever recovered in the Southern Hemisphere.
Its identification restores a lost…
When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn’t stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small molecule fluoromethane…
WASHINGTON — Firefly Aerospace’s Alpha rocket successfully returned to flight March 11, launching a technology demonstration mission more than 10 months after the rocket’s previous launch failed.
Alpha lifted off at 8:50 p.m….
Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance will begin selling space travel insurance in April.
This product is dedicated to “suborbital travel,” in which passengers depart from the ground, ascend to outer space at an altitude of around 100 kilometers, and then…
More than 1,000 tiny earthquakes have exposed a deeper, slanted reservoir beneath Germany’s Lake Laach volcano, not the vertical body scientists expected.
That new picture links the lake’s quiet surface to an active underground system that may…
For more than a century, scientists have been trying to figure out how a falling cat lands on its feet with such astonishing regularity.
A famous scientific exploration of the subject was published in 1894. It’s now 2026, and a newly published…
