Scientists have discovered a new dinosaur from Argentina with powerful claws, feasting on an ancient crocodile bone.
Light as a feather and seemingly ubiquitous, plastic drinking straws tip the scales as environmental villains—clogging landfills, choking marine life and lasting for years.
Researchers with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have created an innovative method to visualize and analyze atomic structures within specially designed, ...
UNIST and Hanyang University researchers have developed a novel porous material capable of high-purity separation of xylene isomers at room temperature. This breakthrough promises to significantly reduce energy consumption ...
What's lurking in your freezer: a lasagna or deep-frozen pizza? Conservationists rely on freezers too—but they run much cooler than your model, with the thermostat set to a frosty -196°C, the temperature of liquid nitrogen. ...
Every time a eukaryotic cell divides, it faces a monumental challenge: It must carefully duplicate and divide its genetic material (chromosomes) equally, and then rebuild the nuclear envelope around the separated halves. ...
Indoor surfaces have an unexpectedly strong ability to absorb and hold harmful chemical compounds that can threaten human health for as long as a year, according to air chemistry researchers at the University of California, ...
NASA introduced its newest astronauts Monday, 10 scientists, engineers and test pilots chosen from more than 8,000 applicants to help explore the moon and possibly Mars.
Conifers, such as pines, spruces, and firs, produce sticky resins that protect the trees from insects and pathogens. Important components of this resin are diterpenes, special natural substances that repel bark beetles and ...
The artificial intelligence models that turn text into images are also useful for generating new materials. Over the last few years, generative materials models from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have drawn on ...
