As climate change fuels increasingly erratic weather, scientists need a better read on snowpack temperature to understand ...

Engineers have developed a groundbreaking computational model to study the movement of granular materials such as soils, sands and powders. By integrating the dynamic interactions among particles, air ...

Large amounts of data ("big data") offer enormous potential for improving the accuracy of genome-wide predictions in plant ...

The future is coming faster than most people expect. This video dives into bold predictions for 2050 that seem hard to believe today. From wild tech shifts to major global changes, these ideas may ...

The tension these stitches create can warp a two-dimensional fabric into complex 3D shapes, and predicting the final ...

A n experiment has visualized a prediction about objects traveling at the speed of light known as the Penrose-Terrell Effect, first made over 60 years ago.

In this week’s news roundup, two NASA astronauts finally return to Earth after nine unexpected months in space, gray seals hold their breath for more than an hour, and penguin poop panics krill.

Forty years ago this month, scientists reported that human activities had punctured Earth’s protective ozone layer. What happened next offers a masterclass in international science-diplomacy.

But while that sounds like an extremely long time away, it’s much shorter than the previous prediction of a number with a mega 1,100 zeros in it. Basically, the team are challenging the view ...

For decades, the Congo Basin was largely invisible to climate science. Now, a new generation of Central African researchers is revealing unexpected ways to protect the planet. For 162 million ...
