Supercomputer turns back cosmic clock
Astronomers have tested a method for reconstructing the state of the early Universe by applying it to 4000 simulated universes using the ATERUI II...
The smallest galaxies in our universe bring more about dark matter...
Our universe is dominated by a mysterious matter known as dark matter. Its name comes from the fact that dark matter does not absorb,...
Planetary scientists discover evidence for a reduced atmosphere on ancient Mars
Both Earth and Mars currently have oxidising atmospheres, which is why iron-rich materials in daily life develop rust (a common name for iron oxide)...
Astrophysicists re-imagine world map, designing a less distorted, ‘radically different’ way...
How do you flatten a sphere?
For centuries, mapmakers have agonized over how to accurately display our round planet on anything other than a globe.
Now,...
Corn belt farmland has lost a third of its carbon-rich soil
More than one-third of the Corn Belt in the Midwest -- nearly 100 million acres -- has completely lost its carbon-rich topsoil, according to...
Light used to detect quantum information stored in 100,000 nuclear quantum...
Researchers have found a way to use light and a single electron to communicate with a cloud of quantum bits and sense their behaviour,...
Sea level data confirms climate modeling projections were right
Projections of rising sea levels this century are on the money when tested against satellite and tide-gauge observations, scientists find.
Climate model projections of sea-level...
