A new geological study reshapes the timeline of a major tectonic collision that helped form the Andes, suggesting key events occurred earlier than long assumed.

Microplastics circulate globally through the atmosphere, but their sources may not be what scientists once thought.

A new geodynamic model is reshaping how scientists understand supervolcanoes, revealing that their magma systems may be far more diffuse and dynamic than previously believed.

Gallium, first identified in 1875, already stands out for its strange behavior. It melts at about 30°C (86°F), meaning it can liquefy in a warm room or even in a cup of tea. It is widely used in ...

New research suggests that tubulin may help prevent the toxic protein clumps associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

A controlled trial examines how different protein choices influence metabolic health, offering new insight into diet and ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in multiple states at once.

A powerful new microscopy technique unveils hidden nanoscale light interactions, offering a glimpse into physics that ...

A new chip-scale spectrometer challenges the long-standing reliance on bulky optical systems by replacing physical light ...

Around 110 million years ago, two small pterosaurs about the size of modern seagulls were flying over a lake or river, likely searching for food or skimming the water. They were suddenly captured and ...

Clues to the genetic code’s origin may be hidden in tiny protein fragments, revealing a synchronized and highly structured ...
