Over a 15-year period, a small percentage of industrial facilities emit the majority of...
Call them "super polluters"—the handful of industrial facilities that emit unusually high levels of toxic chemical pollution year after year. There are only a...
Modeling COVID-19 data must be done with extreme care, scientists say
As the infectious virus causing the COVID-19 disease began its devastating spread around the globe, an international team of scientists was alarmed by the...
Electrons break rotational symmetry in exotic low-temp superconductor
Scientists have discovered that the transport of electronic charge in a metallic superconductor containing strontium, ruthenium, and oxygen breaks the rotational symmetry of the...
Researchers build hybrid quantum system by entangling molecule with atom
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have boosted their control of the fundamental properties of molecules at the quantum level by...
Lysosome to mitochondria communication regulates longevity
As people get older, they often feel less energetic, mobile or active. This may be due in part to a decline in mitochondria, the...
Oldest connection with Native Americans identified near Lake Baikal in Siberia

ALMA discovers massive rotating disk in early universe
In our 13.8 billion-year-old universe, most galaxies like our Milky Way form gradually, reaching their large mass relatively late. But a new discovery made...
Supercomputer model simulations reveal cause of Neanderthal extinction
Climate scientists from the IBS Center for Climate Physics discover that, contrary to previously held beliefs, Neanderthal extinction was neither caused by abrupt glacial...
Very Large Telescope sees signs of planet birth
Observations made with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) have revealed the telltale signs of a star system being born. Around...
No evidence of an influence of dark matter on the force between nuclei
The universe mainly consists of a novel substance and an energy form that are not yet understood. This 'dark matter' and 'dark energy' are...
Physicists offer a new ‘spin’ on memory
