Using data on glacier velocity, South America’s tropical Andes mountains were found to have up to 23% less ice and freshwater availability. Darker colors overlayed…
A rock sample used to reexamine Earth’s pre-GOE “whiff of oxygen” spans the Archean and Paleoproterozoic time periods. This illustration depicts what the Earth might…
The finding of the Majorana boson demonstrates that photons can be “split” into halves. Credit: Animation by LaDarius Dennison Research predicts the existence of a…
Controlled outdoor environments known as “mesocosms” were used to study climate change impacts on nutrition and toxicity on the aquatic food web. Credit: Pianpian Wu…
New theory ‘detects’ light in the darkness of a vacuum. Black holes are regions of space-time with huge amounts of gravity. Scientists originally thought that…
Making eye contact repeatedly when you’re talking to someone is common, but why do we do it? When two people are having a conversation, eye…

COVID-19 has been spreading rapidly over the past several months, and the U.S. death toll has now reached 400,000. As evident from the age distribution…
Quantum mechanics allows for a clock to move as if it were simultaneously traveling at two different speeds. New research finds that this leads to…
With over 300,000 COVID-19 cases across the globe, including recent cases in Syria and the Gaza Strip, the data continues to demonstrate how the disease…
Approach focuses on 3D structures to simplify protein creation. Researchers have developed a process that could sharply reduce the work involved in computational protein design,…
