An astronomer from NSF's NOIRLab has teamed up with a geologist from California State University, Fresno, to make the first estimates of rock types that exist on planets orbiting nearby stars. After...
In many ways, our neighbouring planet is very similar to Earth. It’s a rocky planet of about the same size, and it has an atmosphere and some water. Yet, a closer look reveals striking differences...
The huge spider - which hails from East Asia - spread widely this year in the north of the US state of Georgia, which frightened the population and puzzled scientists, after it occupied with its...
Nearly 20 years after researchers first predicted electron quadruplets and evidence of their existence are shown to do in experimental setups, representing a brand-new state of matter which opens-up...
Astronomers have used the Hubble Space Telescope to observe a David and Goliath-type battle between a massive galaxy and a much smaller one, 220 million light-years from Earth. One of the outcomes...
There’s no doubt that whales are one of the most extraordinary animals on our planet, but did you know that they’re also helping to lighten the load of climate change? We tend to think of trees...
