A team of researchers have discovered a potentially threatening magma chamber beneath Kolumbo, an underwater volcano near Santorini in Greece. They have suggested installing real-time monitoring stations near active underwater volcanoes to
Russian scientists have successfully regenerated a 32,000-year-old silene stenophylla plant from seeds discovered 124 feet beneath the permafrost in Siberia. The accomplishment was highlighted on Twitter by Channa Prakash, and further detailed
A research team of experts has hypothesized that the abrupt global warming event 56 million years ago, known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), may have been caused by changes in the
Researchers from Hokkaido University and colleagues from Japan and Germany have revealed new insights into how interstellar dust grains formed before the solar system. Laboratory modelling studies, theoretical work and rocket-borne experiments
Nobel Laureate Harold Varmus discussed the importance of international relations in science, citing recent threats such as ethnocentric paranoia and America-first policies. He addressed the need for collaboration and open access in
Astronomers from McGill University and the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru have detected a radio signal from atomic hydrogen in a distant galaxy 8.8 billion light years away using the Giant
Humans have evolved from a tropical species and adapted to cold temperatures in various ways. Archaeological evidence from ancient sites in Europe suggest that early hominins used cultural solutions such as campfires,
Astronomers have detected a record breaking binary system composed of two ultracool dwarf stars designated as LP 413-53AB, orbiting each other in 20.5 hours. The system is estimated to be billions of
New research indicates that the chemistry of late-stage planet development is driven by ultraviolet rays, as opposed to X-rays or cosmic rays. Observations have shown the presence of complex organic molecules in
The NASA Psyche mission, which aims to explore the metal-rich asteroid 16 Psyche, has been rescheduled for a potential launch in October 2023. This follows an independent review that found a lack
