After cruising along behind NASA’s InSight for seven months, they successfully relayed data back down to Earth from the lander during its descent to the Martian surface on Monday, Nov. 26. The spacecraft landed around 12:00 p. m. PST on…

A new catalyst could dramatically decrease the cost of producing hydrogen, one of the cleanest renewable fuels. Now, researchers say the metal could advance one of the most promising sources of renewable energy: hydrogen fuel cells. There’s a new contender…

Taal Levi, an Oregon State University ecologist and lead author on the study, said some tropical forests have as many as 1,000 different tree species living in the same general area. Our tropical forests are some of the richest and…

So Many Earthquakes Happen In The “Wrong” Places. You can add river erosion to the list of geological triggers capable of setting off an earthquake, according to new research: and it could help explain the reason why so many earthquakes…

The Great Barrier Reef stretches for over a thousand miles along Australia’s northeastern coast. “The idea here is to use an automated technique that allows us to target delivery of the larvae into damaged reef systems and increase the efficiency…

The black hole is made possible because of the unstoppable power of gravity. In 1915, Albert Einstein developed his theory of general relativity, having earlier shown that gravity does influence light’s motion. Einstein’s theory of general relativity predicted that once an object…

When Oberhauser first visited the roosting sites, the migrating monarch butterfly population was at its peak. Oberhauser’s decades of studying monarchs have taken her far and wide. Our birth rate has fallen to its lowest rate ever. Monarchs traditionally reach…

Extinct birds were nocturnal and blind. Early plants were small, unicellular or filamentous, with simple branching. “We wanted to know whether there were similar drivers for organisms during the Ediacaran period” , said Dr Emily Mitchell of Cambridge’s Department of Earth Sciences, the paper’s…

The study could also have implications for artificial intelligence because efficient autonomous robots will need to rely on robust, computationally inexpensive algorithms, and could benefit from employing insect-inspired scanning behaviours. Most of the time, the robots are shaped like a car so…

You may be thinking “but my home’s air is clean”. There are actually air pollutants inside your home. On Wednesday, the new study published in Environmental Science and Technology, reported the hybrid plant was successful in dramatically reducing chloroform and…
