Ancient rocks reveal Earth's past warm periods were cooler than thought
Earth's temperature has been much cooler in the past than previously thought, meaning it could be moving toward the warmest it's ever been.
UK bakes in 35C highs as heatwave to continue next week
On Thursday, temperatures exceeded 34C for the eighth day this year, breaking the previous record of seven days in a calendar year.
Researchers discover genetic secrets of mung bean crops
Researchers at the Center for Crop and Food Innovation (CCFI) have made a significant contribution to a landmark study, uncovering tens of thousands of previously hidden structural variations influencing agriculturally important traits in the mung bean. The study, published today
Physical laws explain why most flies evolved similar flight, with mosquitoes as outliers
A new study in PLOS Biology of 133 species of flies, mosquitoes and their relatives shows that most species fly in surprisingly similar ways. Physical and aerodynamic laws shape the evolution of their flight behavior more strongly than previously thought. Mosquitoes prove to be a
Rare fossil goose rewrites the story of New Zealand's giant birds
Scientists have discovered a previously unknown fossil goose that challenges a decades-old theory about the evolution of New Zealand's birds. The find suggests the country's giant flightless geese evolved from much more recent arrivals, revealing a far more dynamic evolutionary h
Scientists discovered the brain doesn't make decisions the way we thought
A new study suggests the brain begins making decisions much earlier than scientists previously thought. Researchers found that even primary sensory regions are influenced by higher brain areas through rapid feedback loops, rather than simply passing information forward. This more
Invasive aoudad pose deadly risk to native bighorn sheep
An invasive species found across West Texas may pose a greater threat to native bighorn sheep than previously understood.
Hidden in plain sight: Caribbean reef fish nestle in tube worms, revealing previously undo
On Caribbean coral reefs, an unlikely partnership has gone largely unnoticed: Tiny fish regularly nestle within the feathery structures of tube worms. While these sensitive worms typically snap shut at the slightest disturbance, they show a remarkable tolerance for their tiny gue
White-beam neutron device unlocks precise control of twisted quantum waves
CANISIUS is the official name of the new spin-echo neutron interferometer developed at Atominstitut, TU Wien. It enables precise control of neutron waves, something that was previously impossible.
Shear loading reveals sixfold damage growth around stiff particles in aluminum alloy
The resistance of materials to mechanical loads is a decisive factor in component safety, such as in aircraft. Working as part of an international team, researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have found a previously unknown damage mechanism in metals: Contam
Astronomers' surprise at discovery of new stars
A Warwick University team, working with US astronomers, find four, previously hidden, white dwarf stars. O recorte ajuda a contextualizar a pauta dentro de Agro.
