Rather than completely burning up when a spacecraft reenters Earth's atmosphere, its heat shield's outer surface is sacrificed to protect the rest of the vehicle. The carbon fibers decompose, dissipating the heat.
A large region of unusually hot rock deep beneath the Appalachian Mountains in the United States could be linked to Greenland and North America splitting apart 80 million years ago, according to new research led by the University ...
QUT researchers have developed an advanced remote sensing method for accurately detecting and mapping Antarctica's delicate moss and lichen growth, the mainstays of the continent's fragile ecosystems. The research team also ...
A pioneering study led by the National Â鶹ÒùÔºical Laboratory (NPL) has reported significant findings regarding the noise structure of Orbitrap mass spectrometers, a critical tool in the analysis of complex biological processes. ...
A single plant costs U.S. ranchers $35 million a year. Now, a team of researchers is using artificial intelligence to keep it in check.
New research by scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), in collaboration with scientists from TAU Systems Inc., has brought the promise of smaller and more affordable ...
What springs to mind when you're asked to think of plastic chairs? Do you picture the ubiquitous lightweight, stackable polypropylene chair sold cheaply in hardware stores worldwide?
Crystallization, a fundamental process in nature, hinges on two distinct stages: nucleation and growth. The latter plays a pivotal role in shaping the morphology, size, and purity of crystalline materials, making it a focus ...
Hikers on the Konza Prairie may look up this summer and see something unusual in the air. K-State researchers are employing aerial data in their mission to understand and manage the rapid spread of woody plants across the ...
The coelacanth is known as a "living fossil" because its anatomy has changed little in the last 65 million years. Despite being one of the most studied fish in history, it continues to reveal new information that could transform ...
