Using the NIRCam and MIRI instruments onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have produced a high-resolution image of Herbig-Haro object 49/50 (HH 49/50), which is located ...

Named Jeholia longchengi, the new species lived approximately 125 million years ago (Early Cretaceous epoch). The scorpion’s fossilized remains were recovered from dark gray mudstones of the Yixian ...

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected oxygen in the most distant confirmed galaxy ever found, JADES-GS-z14-0. This detection, made by two different ...

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have generated a chromosome-scale reference genome for the most widely grown pistachio cultivar ‘Kerman.’ Although commonly known as nuts, pistachio ...

A small mixodectid mammal called Mixodectes pungens had skeletal features adapted to living in trees, largely dined on leaves, and weighed about 1.3 kg, according to an analysis a remarkably complete ...

Molecular signaling pathways are communication systems that transmit messages within and between cells. According to a new study by University of Geneva scientists, inhibiting one such system, called ...

Physicists have long known that electrons can form vortices in quantum materials. What’s new is the proof that these tiny particles create tornado-like structures in momentum space. Momentum space is ...

Paleontologists have identified a new genus and species of obruchevodid petalodont (petal-toothed) shark from multiple teeth unearthed at Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky, the United States. The ...

The primary underlying mechanisms may involve the protective effects of these diets on blood vessels and nerves, as well as their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, according to a new ...

The Lambda-CDM (ΛCDM) model has been the foundation of modern cosmology for some time now, successfully describing large-scale structures in the Universe. It proposes that 95% of the cosmos is ...

Neutron stars are the dense remnants of massive stars, more than 8 times as massive as our Sun, born at the end of their lives in a brilliant supernova explosion. These incredibly dense objects have ...

Fossil feathers are usually preserved as carbonaceous films and impressions in lacustrine and marine sediments, or embedded in amber, but rarely mineralized. In a new study, paleontologists examined ...
