More than 60 years ago, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) officially began with Project Ozma at the Greenbank Observatory in West Bank, Virginia. Led by famed astronomer Frank Drake (who coined the Drake ...
Small things matter, at least when it comes to ocean features like waves and eddies. A recent NASA-led analysis using data from the SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) satellite found that ocean features as small as ...
A team of wildlife researchers from Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, in Brazil, working with a colleague from the National Museum of the Czech Republic, has discovered a new species of poison dart frog in the ...
In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison introduced a deep learning method capable of automatically identifying transition states in protein conformational changes, ...
Scientists have confirmed that there is something unique about ginger-hued domestic felines. In a new study, Stanford Medicine researchers have discovered the long-posited but elusive genetic mutation that makes orange cats ...
Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting genetic instructions from DNA and creating proteins. With the power to execute a plethora of functions, ...
One of the things that makes the main particle accelerator at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility unique is that it was the first linear accelerator to deliver a continuous stream ...
When we think of earthquakes, we imagine sudden, violent shaking. But deep beneath Earth's surface, some faults move in near silence. These slow, shuffling slips and their accompanying hum—called tremors—don't shake buildings ...
Analyzing gravity data collected by spacecraft orbiting other worlds reveals groundbreaking insights about planetary structures without having to land on the surface.
It started as a low, haunting roar building in the distance. It grew into a deafening thunder that drowned out all else. The sky turned an unnatural shade of green, then black. The wind lashed at trees and buildings with ...
