2023 is an exciting time for the study of quark-gluon plasmas.
There’s an enormous evolutionary advantage for flamingos to stand on one leg, but genetics doesn’t help. Only physics explains why.
France’s notorious disregard for washing gradually changed as military authorities and public schools promoted a modern regime of cleanliness.
An unexpected ancient manufacturing strategy may hold the key to designing concrete that lasts for millennia.
Everything acts like a wave while it propagates, but behaves like a particle whenever it interacts. The origins of this duality go way back.
Human beings are descendants of these early tetrapods – at least those who made a new life on land.
The Uros of Lake Titicaca live on floating islands made from reeds. How did they get there?
Some objects were softer than others.
The new electrically conductive substrate could be the future of hydroponic farming.
Researchers have discovered 830-million-year-old microbes living inside a salt rock on Earth. Could the same occur on Mars?
The ominous cloud of acid rain hasn’t vanished but rather drifted toward the developing world.
Two types of leaves for two different drastic weather conditions.
The term “zero-point energy” has at least two meanings, one that is innocuous and one that is a great deal sexier (and scammier).
Deep underwater, temperatures are close to freezing and the pressure is 1,000 times higher than at sea level.
Known as the Great Oxygenation Event, Earth froze over as oxygen accumulated in our atmosphere, nearly driving all life extinct.
A doctor once joked that statins will be added to the water supply. Humor aside, the data shows that statins really are a “wonder drug.”
Dead whales inspire a way to find extraterrestrial life on Mars.
We are still new at this.
The dating pool is small — no pun intended.
No shots fired. No flags raised. And no dry land gained. Still, the U.S. effectively grew by the size of about two Californias in December.
Earth wasn’t created until more than 9 billion years after the Big Bang. In some lucky places, life could have arisen almost right away.
Water on Mars is key for human survival on the Red Planet, not just for drinking but for growing food and making fuel and oxygen.
A marine scientist explains the threat of the Loop Current, a 800-pound gorilla of Gulf hurricane risks.
McDermitt Caldera, the site of an ancient volcanic eruption, straddles the border of Oregon and Nevada.
All matter particles can act as waves, and massless light waves show particle-like behavior. Can gravitational waves also be particle-like?
Planets can create nuclear power on their own, naturally, without any intelligence or technology. Earth already did: 1.7 billion years ago.
