Data collected by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft reveals that the gas surrounding the dwarf planet extends as far as 1,000 miles outward into space. That’s more than 13 times farther...
IBM recently announced that they had produced the first 7-nanometre semiconductor test chip with functioning transistors. The level of miniaturisation is huge. “The two key ones were...
Until a few months ago different scientific articles, including those published in ‘Nature’, dated the disappearance of the Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) from Europe at around...
Those include hunter-gatherers from western Europe, the early farmers who brought agriculture to Europe from the Near East, and a newly identified group of ancient north Eurasians wh...
But before the first photosynthesizing organisms appeared about 2.4 billion years ago, the atmosphere likely contained mostly carbon dioxide, as is the case today on Mars and Venus. ...
The same species of monkeys located in separate geographic regions use their alarm calls differently to warn of approaching predators, a linguistic analysis by a team of scientists r...
Mammals underwent a rapid ‘burst’ of evolutionary change that reached its peak around the middle of the Jurassic period around 145-200 million years ago, a new Oxford-led study has f...
Fossils provide the critical age data we need to unlock the timing of major evolutionary events, says Dr. Ksepka. This new resource will provide the crucial fossil data needed to cal...
Trees have been growing significantly faster since the 1960s. The typical development phases of trees and stands have barely changed, but they have accelerated – by as much as 70 per...
This enabled Mehta’s team to look at the evolution of biting and suction feeding and compare the morphological diversity of skulls in the different lineages. The biters are three tim...
With claws for climbing and teeth adapted for a tree sap diet, Agilodocodon scansorius is the earliest-known tree-dwelling mammaliaform (long-extinct relatives of modern mammals). Th...

NASA just launched a new high-resolution computer model that gives a stunning look at the yearly movement of carbon emissions through the planet’s atmosphere. NASA created the model ...
The windy conditions that have battered Ireland have been be a major boon to the country’s wind-energy production, contributing to its largest ever wind-energy output. The figure rec...
Everyone knows NASA put a man on the moon – but did you know that the agency’s R&D has also led to the invention of water filters, memory foam, and the computer mouse? This great...
Our understanding of these phenomena is, however, limited by the fact that most magma cools and solidifies several kilometres beneath our feet, only to be exposed at the surface, mil...
