A team led by Brandon Boor at Purdue University has shown that fragrance compounds in cleaning products, whether conventional ...

Venus is unique among the inner planets. Earth has the Moon, Mars has two small satellites, and even Mercury may once have had companions that the Sun’s gravity stripped away. But Venus today is ...

Although controlled experiments offer promise for improving weather forecasts, progress in real-world applications has been ...

For over ten years, scientists have put forward two different explanations for one of the ocean’s more unusual trends: the increase in squid numbers between 1970 and 2010. A recent modeling study now ...

The bright points are radio-emitting galaxies and other compact sources, whose emission is much stronger than the faint ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered compelling evidence of massive black holes in the ...

Participants were randomly assigned to either standard treatment or immediate monitoring for 14 days using a small, waterproof, leadless device that continuously recorded their heart rhythms. In the ...

An NJIT-led research team has developed an AI system that can spot faint warning signals of solar active regions, potential precursors to solar storms, nearly nine hours before they become visible.

When bones break, the body calls on its usual builders, osteoblasts, the cells that lay down new bone. But a new study shows that help also comes from an unexpected source: skeletal muscle.

Think: use ONLY sound to move minuscule machines! This is the promise of acoustic actuation, a jiggly way to commandeer robots from afar. Sound waves push cells, bubbles, and particles around in ...

Astronomers have discovered a “black hole star,” an extremely bright red spot in the early universe that appears to be a new type of astrophysical object. It resembles an enormous star, but its energy ...

The 150-million-year-old fossil known as Archaeopteryx, which is often regarded as the first bird, might not have taken off into the air with one strong jump. While many modern birds do take off in ...
