CSDA Selects Eight Commercial Satellite Data Providers for On-Ramp 2 Contract Awards
Eight commercial data providers received contracts to provide a range of data in support of NASA’s Earth science priorities.
Mars may have once been filled with seas of magma that made the Red Planet habitable
Deep oceans of magma once sloshed about inside the crust of Mars, seismic measurements taken by NASA's InSight mission suggest.
These mysterious exoplanets may have clouds of vaporized rock and grounds of scorching mag
Sub-Neptune exoplanets could have atmospheres so dense and crushing that rock is vaporized to form clouds that trap heat at the surface of the planet.
Plants appear to detect the patter of falling rain
MIT engineers have found the first direct evidence that plant seeds can sense sounds in nature: Rice submerged in shallow water germinated 30% to 40% more quickly when exposed to vibrations from water dripping on the surface. They think other types of seeds may respond similarly.
Quantum waves reveal one-sided motion marking elusive critical states
Sound waves, light waves and other types of waves, generally spread freely through space and over time. In 1958, physicist Philip W. Anderson first described a phenomenon via which irregularities or other sources of disorder in materials would prevent waves from propagating freel
New driving model predicts split-second crash avoidance with humanlike accuracy
Scientists at Delft University of Technology, in collaboration with Waymo, have developed a new model that predicts with high accuracy how human drivers respond to dangerous traffic situations. For the first time, different types of collision avoidance behavior are combined into
Saturday Citations: Predicting earthquakes; two types of water; observing event horizons
Howdy, pards, here's a quick roundup of the week's science news: Moose, previously thought to be a transplanted species, are actually native to Colorado. A digital twin of a two-year-old child's brain revealed neural signatures linked to autism. And a new gel treatment for severe
New research identifies types of dishonesty that occur in a relationship—and their consequ
From "harmless" white lies to infidelity, dishonesty in romantic relationships is a complex phenomenon that takes on many forms. New research from the University of Copenhagen shows that while dishonesty between partners often fuels distrust and resentment, it may also, in some c
Tailored supplier strategies could cut emissions better than one-size-fits-all procurement
Companies hoping to reduce the environmental impact of their purchasing should tailor relationships with suppliers to different types of products rather than relying on a single procurement strategy, according to research published in the International Journal of Procurement Mana
How mating competition, age and sex shape immune systems in wild bats
A new study of wild bats reveals that an animal's immune system is shaped by more than its need to fight infections. Researchers from the University of Maryland have found that sex, age and competition for mates influence how bats balance different types of immune defenses—provid
Nature's puncture tools reveal shape trade-offs between piercing power and strength
Nature has invented countless types of pointy appendages, and scientists have long sought to explain what makes these structures so effective at puncturing other things. A new study models the key physical characteristics of puncturing tools to reflect their diversity in nature,
