    • A 'super-puff' planet like no other January 18, 2021
      Astronomers discover that the core mass of exoplanet WASP-107b is much lower than previously thought possible for a gas-giant planet.
    • 2020 tied for warmest year on record, NASA analysis shows January 15, 2021
      Earth's global average surface temperature in 2020 tied with 2016 as the warmest year on record, according to an analysis by NASA.
    • COVID-19 reduced U.S. life expectancy, especially among Black and Latino populations January 14, 2021
      A new study finds that due to COVID-19 deaths last year, life expectancy at birth for Americans will shorten by 1.13 years to 77.48 years -- the largest single-year decline in life expectancy in at least 40 years.
    • Climate change has caused billions of dollars in flood damages January 12, 2021
      Flooding has caused hundreds of billions of dollars in damage in the U.S. over the past three decades. Researchers found that 36 percent of the costs of flooding in the U.S. from 1988 to 2017 were a result of intensifying precipitation, consistent with predictions of global warming.
    • 'Galaxy-sized' observatory sees potential hints of gravitational waves January 11, 2021
      Scientists believe that planets like Earth bob in a sea of gravitational waves that spread throughout the universe. Now, an international team has gotten closer than ever before to detecting those cosmic ripples.
    • Measurements of pulsar acceleration reveal Milky Way's dark side January 11, 2021
      It is well known that the expansion of the universe is accelerating due to a mysterious dark energy. Within galaxies, stars also experience an acceleration, though this is due to some combination of dark matter and the stellar density. In a new study, researchers have now obtained the first direct measurement of the average acceleration taking place within o […]
    • ALMA captures distant colliding galaxy dying out as it loses the ability to form stars January 11, 2021
      Galaxies begin to 'die' when they stop forming stars, but until now astronomers had never clearly glimpsed the start of this process in a far-away galaxy. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have seen a galaxy ejecting nearly half of its star-forming gas. This ejection is happening at a startling rate, equival […]
    • Unravelling the mystery that makes viruses infectious January 8, 2021
      Researchers have for the first time identified the way viruses like the poliovirus and the common cold virus 'package up' their genetic code, allowing them to infect cells. The findings open up the possibility that drugs or anti-viral agents can be developed that would stop such infections.
    • Why crocodiles have changed so little since the age of the dinosaurs January 7, 2021
      New research explains how a 'stop-start' pattern of evolution, governed by environmental change, could explain why crocodiles have changed so little since the age of the dinosaurs.
    • Mapping the platypus genome: How Earth's oddest mammal got to be so bizarre January 6, 2021
      Australia's beaver-like, duck-billed platypus exhibits an array of bizarre characteristics: it lays eggs instead of giving birth to live babies, sweats milk, has venomous spurs and is even equipped with 10 sex chromosomes. Now, researchers have conducted a unique mapping of the platypus genome and found answers regarding the origins of a few of its stra […]
    • Primordial black holes and the search for dark matter from the multiverse December 28, 2020
      Astronomers are studying black holes that could have formed in the early universe, before stars and galaxies were born. Such primordial black holes (PBHs) could account for all or part of dark matter, be responsible for some of the observed gravitational waves signals, and seed supermassive black holes found in the center of our Galaxy and other galaxies.
    • Discovery boosts theory that life on Earth arose from RNA-DNA mix December 28, 2020
      Chemists have made a discovery that supports a surprising new view of how life originated on our planet. They demonstrated that a simple compound called diamidophosphate (DAP), which was plausibly present on Earth before life arose, could have chemically knitted together tiny DNA building blocks called deoxynucleosides into strands of primordial DNA.
    • New class of antibiotics active against a wide range of bacteria December 23, 2020
      Scientists have discovered a new class of compounds that uniquely combine direct antibiotic killing of pan drug-resistant bacterial pathogens with a simultaneous rapid immune response for combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
    • How our brains track where we and others go December 23, 2020
      A new study reveals how your brain navigates places and monitors someone else in the same location. The findings suggest that our brains generate a common code to mark where other people are in relation to ourselves.
    • Neuroscientists isolate promising mini antibodies against COVID-19 from a llama December 22, 2020
      Researchers have isolated a set of promising, tiny antibodies, or 'nanobodies,' against SARS-CoV-2 that were produced by a llama named Cormac. Preliminary results suggest that at least one of these nanobodies, called NIH-CoVnb-112, could prevent infections and detect virus particles by grabbing hold of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins. In addition, the na […]
    • The aroma of distant worlds December 21, 2020
      Asian spices such as turmeric and fruits like the banana had already reached the Mediterranean more than 3000 years ago, much earlier than previously thought. A team of researchers has shown that even in the Bronze Age, long-distance trade in food was already connecting distant societies.
    • Climate change: Threshold for dangerous warming will likely be crossed between 2027-2042 December 21, 2020
      The threshold for dangerous global warming will likely be crossed between 2027 and 2042 -- a much narrower window than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's estimate of between now and 2052. Researchers introduce a new and more precise way to project the Earth's temperature. Based on historical data, it considerably reduces uncertainties […]
    • Volcanic eruptions directly triggered ocean acidification during Early Cretaceous December 21, 2020
      A new study supports the hypothesis that the Ontong Java Plateau large igneous province eruptions led to oceanic anoxic event 1a, 127 to 100 million years ago.
    • The upside of volatile space weather December 21, 2020
      Although stellar flares are typically viewed as a detriment to habitability, study shows 'life might still have a fighting chance.' Researchers find that flares drive a planets atmospheric composition to a new chemical equilibrium.
    • Meteoric evidence for a previously unknown asteroid December 21, 2020
      A team of scientists has identified a potentially new meteorite parent asteroid by studying a small shard of a meteorite that arrived on Earth a dozen years ago. The composition of a piece of the meteorite Almahata Sitta (AhS) indicates that its parent body was an asteroid roughly the size of Ceres, the largest object in the main asteroid belt, and formed in […]
