Plants are marvelous chemists, as the gardenia’s DNA shows
Plants are some of nature's most extraordinary chemists. Unlike animals, they can't run from predators or pathogens. They can't uproot themselves to seek out...
Researchers discover the origins of the beloved guinea pig
New University of Otago research sheds light on guinea pig domestication and how and why the small, furry animals became distributed around the world.

Electrically charged dust storms drive Martian chlorine cycle
How's the weather on Mars? Tough on rovers, but very good for generating and moving highly reactive chlorine compounds. New research from Washington University...
New techniques improve quantum communication, entangle phonons
Quantum communication—where information is sent through particles, typically entangled photons—has the potential to become the ultimate secure communication channel. Not only is it nearly...
A cosmic baby is discovered, and it’s brilliant
Astronomers tend to have a slightly different sense of time than the rest of us. They regularly study events that happened millions or billions...
New quantum sensing technique allows high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a widely used tool for chemical analysis and molecular structure recognition. Because it typically relies on the weak...
Astronomers detect regular rhythm of radio waves, with origins unknown
A team of astronomers, including researchers at MIT, has picked up on a curious, repeating rhythm of fast radio bursts emanating from an unknown...
Soap bubbles pollinated a pear orchard without damaging delicate flowers
Soap bubbles facilitated the pollination of a pear orchard by delivering pollen grains to targeted flowers, demonstrating that this whimsical technique can successfully pollinate...
First egg from Antarctica is big and might belong to an...
In 2011, Chilean scientists discovered a mysterious fossil in Antarctica that looked like a deflated football. For nearly a decade, the specimen sat unlabeled...
