What scientists found after sifting through dust in the solar system
Just as dust gathers in corners and along bookshelves in our homes, dust piles up in space too. But when the dust settles in...
Ultrathin and ultrafast: Scientists pioneer new technique for two-dimensional material analysis
Discovery allows scientists to look at how 2-D materials move with ultrafast precision.
Using a never-before-seen technique, scientists have found a new way to use some of...
Immigration is beneficial to economies, even after 100 years
A new study in the Review of Economic Studies finds that U.S. counties with more historical immigration have higher incomes, less poverty, and lower unemployment today.
An...
Coal power stations disrupt rainfall, global study finds
Modern coal-fired power stations produce more ultrafine dust particles than road traffic and can even modify and redistribute rainfall patterns, a new 15-year international...
Study: Information literacy can combat ‘fake news’
It's not difficult to verify whether a new piece of information is accurate; however, most people don't take that step before sharing it on...
Scientists one step closer to a clock that could replace GPS...
Scientists in the Emergent Photonics Lab (EPic Lab) at the University of Sussex have made a breakthrough to a crucial element of an atomic...
Researchers uncover additional evidence for massive solar storms
Solar storms can be far more powerful than previously thought. A new study has found evidence for the third known case of a massive...
Quantum physicists succeed in controlling energy losses and shifts
Quantum computers need to preserve quantum information for a long time to be able to crack important problems faster than a normal computer. Energy...
Fatal horizon, driven by acidification, closes in on marine organisms in...
Marine microorganisms in the Southern Ocean may find themselves in a deadly vise grip by century's end as ocean acidification creates a shallower horizon...
Physicists solve a beta-decay puzzle with advanced nuclear models
An international collaboration including scientists at the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) solved a 50-year-old puzzle that explains why beta...
Common beetle’s gut microbiome benefits forests, holds promise for bioenergy
Insects are critical contributors to ecosystem functioning, and like most living organisms their co-evolution with microbes has been essential to support these functions. While...
