The effects of Sinlaku went much farther than the surface of the ocean. The satellite data showed that stratospheric ...

The top image shows interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as seen with MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, along with contours that illustrate where different gases were located ...

One of the major challenges in deciphering Ice Age bones is resolving a conflict in the records between what they say, that ...

For years, scientists believed that the retreat of Arctic sea ice would supercharge ocean productivity. More sunlight pouring into the water was expected to fuel plankton growth, strengthening the ...

The vibrations of atoms in a crystal generate one type of rotation, an intrinsic spin-like trait called angular momentum. For ...

Beamforming, introduced in WiFi 5, works by having devices share details about how signals travel through their environment.

Sharks, rays, skates, and chimaeras are slow to reproduce, and scientists believe the process takes a lot of energy. But no one really knows how much, because it’s difficult to measure without harming ...

Quantum computing is racing ahead, with potentially huge implications for cryptography, materials science, chemistry, and AI. But today’s quantum processors are still too small to simulate all but the ...

Continuous long-term measurement underground at a mine in northern Ontario provided evidence of sustained accumulation and discharge of natural hydrogen generated within Earth’s crust. Credit: ...

Some 2,200 kilometers beneath our feet lies the outer core, a molten layer of rock that moves constantly. This rotation creates the planet’s natural magnetic field. For decades, scientists had ...

With every cycle of a gas-powered engine, three-quarters of the energy in the fuel goes out as heat through the exhaust and into the atmosphere. A ...

Gold has long been prized for its stability, but in the world of chemistry, that stability of gold is precisely what has caused the problem. The process of oxygen activation, the first step in many ...
