    • Origin of life: The chicken-and-egg problem March 2, 2021
      New research shows that slight alterations in transfer-RNA molecules (tRNAs) allow them to self-assemble into a functional unit that can replicate information exponentially. tRNAs are key elements in the evolution of early life-forms.
    • Neanderthals had the capacity to perceive and produce human speech March 1, 2021
      Neanderthals -- the closest ancestor to modern humans -- possessed the ability to perceive and produce human speech, according to a new study.
    • The right '5-a-day' mix is 2 fruit and 3 vegetable servings for longer life March 1, 2021
      Higher consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower risk of death in men and women, according to data representing nearly 2 million adults. Five daily servings of fruits and vegetables, eaten as 2 servings of fruit and 3 servings of vegetables, may be the optimal amount and combination for a longer life. These findings support current U.S. […]
    • Microbes deep beneath seafloor survive on byproducts of radioactive process February 26, 2021
      Researchers found that microbes living in ancient sediment below the seafloor are sustained primarily by chemicals created by the natural irradiation of water molecules. Results of this research may have implications for life on Mars.
    • Did teenage 'tyrants' outcompete other dinosaurs? February 25, 2021
      Paleo-ecologists have demonstrated that the offspring of enormous carnivorous dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus rex may have fundamentally re-shaped their communities by out-competing smaller rival species.
    • Comet makes a pit stop near Jupiter's asteroids February 25, 2021
      After traveling several billion miles toward the Sun, a wayward young comet-like object orbiting among the giant planets has found a temporary parking place along the way. The object has settled near a family of captured ancient asteroids, called Trojans, that are orbiting the Sun alongside Jupiter. This is the first time a comet-like object has been spotted […]
    • Gulf Stream System at its weakest in over a millennium February 25, 2021
      Never before in over 1000 years the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), also known as Gulf Stream System, has been as weak as in the last decades. Researchers compiled proxy data, reaching back hundreds of years to reconstruct the AMOC flow history. They found consistent evidence that its slowdown in the 20th century is unprecedented in the p […]
    • Apollo rock samples capture key moments in the Moon's early history February 25, 2021
      Volcanic rock samples collected during NASA's Apollo missions bear the isotopic signature of key events in the early evolution of the Moon, a new analysis found. Those events include the formation of the Moon's iron core, as well as the crystallization of the lunar magma ocean -- the sea of molten rock thought to have covered the Moon for around 10 […]
    • Record-high Arctic freshwater will flow to Labrador Sea, affecting local and global oceans February 24, 2021
      The Arctic Ocean's Beaufort Sea has increased its freshwater content by 40 percent over the past two decades. When conditions change this freshwater will travel to the Labrador Sea off Canada, rather than through the wider marine passageways that connect to seas in Northern Europe. This has implications for local marine environments and global ocean cir […]
    • People with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies may have low risk of future infection, study finds February 24, 2021
      People who have had evidence of a prior infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, appear to be well protected against being reinfected with the virus, at least for a few months, according to a new study. This finding may explain why reinfection appears to be relatively rare, and it could have important public health implications.
    • New study suggests supermassive black holes could form from dark matter February 24, 2021
      A new theoretical study has proposed a novel mechanism for the creation of supermassive black holes from dark matter. The international team find that rather than the conventional formation scenarios involving 'normal' matter, supermassive black holes could instead form directly from dark matter in high density regions in the centres of galaxies. T […]
    • Quantum systems learn joint computing February 24, 2021
      Researchers realize quantum-logic computer operation between two separate quantum modules in different laboratories.
    • Cold gas pipelines feeding early, massive galaxies February 24, 2021
      Researchers have detected cosmic pipelines supplying the cold gases necessary for the formation of massive galaxies and the creation of stars. It is the first direct observational evidence of the phenomenon in the early universe.
    • How did dogs get to the Americas? An ancient bone fragment holds clues February 24, 2021
      Researchers analyzed the dog's mitochondrial genome, and concluded that the animal belonged to a lineage of dogs whose evolutionary history diverged from that of Siberian dogs as early as 16,700 years ago. The timing of that split coincides with a period when humans may have been migrating into North America along a coastal route that included Southeast […]
    • A memory without a brain February 23, 2021

    • The way a fish swims reveals a lot about its personality, say scientists February 23, 2021
      New research suggests animal personality can be reliably measured simply from the way individual animals move, a type of micropersonality trait, and that the method could be used to help scientists understand about personality differences in wild animals.
    • Whale sharks show remarkable capacity to recover from injuries, including partial fin re-growing February 23, 2021
      A new study explores the extraordinary rate at which the world's largest fish, the endangered whale shark, can recover from its injuries. The findings reveal that lacerations and abrasions, increasingly caused through collisions with boats, can heal in a matter of weeks and researchers found evidence of partially removed dorsal fins re-growing.
    • 'Walking' molecule superstructures could help create neurons for regenerative medicine February 23, 2021

    • NASA's Mars Perseverance rover provides front-row seat to landing, first audio recording of Red Planet February 22, 2021
      New video from NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover chronicles major milestones during the final minutes of its entry, descent, and landing (EDL) on the Red Planet on Feb. 18 as the spacecraft plummeted, parachuted, and rocketed toward the surface of Mars. A microphone on the rover also has provided the first audio recording of sounds from Mars.
