In new experiments aboard the International Space Station (ISS), microbiologists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and ...

A new analysis of stress, tides and interior forces suggests Jupiter’s icy moon Europa lacks the active seafloor faulting ...

University of Maryland paleontologist Thomas R. Holtz Jr. has spent decades puzzling over how dinosaurs fit into their ancient worlds — and how those worlds differ from our own. His latest research ...

Researchers have found ancient gases and fluids trapped in 1.4-billion-year-old halite crystals from northern Ontario, Canada. Their analyses directly constrain Mesoproterozoic (1.8 to 0.8 billion ...

Physicists with the MicroBooNE (Micro Booster Neutrino) Collaboration have ruled out the existence of a single sterile neutrino with 95% certainty. Neutrinos are tiny subatomic particles that barely ...

The Carreras Pampa site in the Torotoro National Park, Bolivia, records 1,321 trackways and 289 solitary tracks, totaling 16,600 theropod dinosaur tracks; 280 swim trackways, totaling 1,378 swim ...

Paleontologists have analyzed an exceptionally long sauropod trackway at the West Gold Hill Dinosaur Tracksite in Colorado, the United States. Their results show that the giant dinosaur which made it ...

A team of researchers from Japan has tested protenemata (juvenile moss), brood cells (specialized stem cells that emerge under stress conditions) and sporophytes (encapsulated spores) of the model ...

A research team led by University of Copenhagen scientists has described three new species of the tree toad genus Nectophrynoides from Tanzania’s Eastern Arc Mountains. The genus Nectophrynoides ...

Paleontologists have examined an exceptionally well-preserved, near somatically mature tyrannosaur skeleton from the Hell Creek Formation of Montana. Their results show that the specimen shares ...

A team of physicists from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Italy has mathematically shown that our Universe is built on a type of understanding that exists beyond the reach of any ...

Oat (Avena sativa) grain is a traditional human food that is rich in dietary fiber and contributes to improved human health. Interest in the crop has surged in recent years owing to its use as the ...
