World’s first dinosaur preserved sitting on nest of eggs with fossilized...
The fossil in question is that of an oviraptorosaur, a group of bird-like theropod dinosaurs that thrived during the Cretaceous Period, the third and...
Determining the structure of a molecule with laser-induced electron diffraction
Light microscopes have revolutionized our understanding of the microcosmos, but their resolution is limited to about 100 nanometers. To see how molecules bond, break,...
Breaking the warp barrier for faster-than-light travel
If travel to distant stars within an individual's lifetime is going to be possible, a means of faster-than-light propulsion will have to be found....
Gigantic jet spied from black hole in early universe
Astronomers have discovered evidence for an extraordinarily long jet of particles coming from a supermassive black hole in the early universe, using NASA's Chandra...
Earth’s deep mantle may have proton rivers made of superionic phases
Pierfranco Demontis said in 1988, "Ice becomes a fast-ion conductor at high pressure and high temperatures," but his prediction was only hypothetical until recently....
Antarctic Peninsula warming up due to heat in Tasman Sea
The melting of the Earth's ice cover intensified in the 20th century, with glaciers and sea ice in the Arctic and Antarctic regions melting...
Younger Tyrannosaurus Rex bites were less ferocious than their adult counterparts
By closely examining the jaw mechanics of juvenile and adult tyrannosaurids, some of the fiercest dinosaurs to inhabit earth, scientists led by the University...
Food drives a third of global emissions: report
A third of all the world's man-made greenhouse gas emissions are linked to food, according to new global research that tracked produce from field...
Whale and dolphin brains are special—for heat production, not for intelligence
Scientific evidence shows specialized features in the large brains of whales and dolphins that are adapted for heat production.
Whales and dolphins have the largest...
Volcanic eruptions had large and persistent impacts on global hydroclimate over...
Large tropical volcanos have caused some of the world's most destructive natural disasters in history, with eruptions spewing out massive quantities of harmful gases...
Key step reached toward long-sought goal of a silicon-based laser
When it comes to microelectronics, there is one chemical element like no other: silicon, the workhorse of the transistor technology that drives our information...
