Dark comets are objects that looks like asteroids but acts like comets. Now, new research has doubled the number of known dark comets and grouped them into two distinct populations.
Capable of handling extreme cold, acid, and dehydration, the microbe Deinococcus radiodurans handles doses of radiation that would kill a human tens of thousands of times over.
Americans, especially those born between 1966 and 1986 (largely so-called generation X), have probably suffered from an additional 151 million mental health disorders that would not have occurred without the use of leaded petrol.
A new vortex electric field with the potential to enhance future electronic, magnetic and optical devices has been observed by researchers from City University of Hong Kong and local partners.
International researchers have confirmed a theory that proposes a connection between the complementarity principle and entropic uncertainty.
Their orbit periodically takes them through a cloud of gas, triggering flares.
The researchers have now identified chloronitramide anion as an end product of inorganic chloramine decomposition in treated drinking water.
A team puts forward a possible explanation for the rise in global mean temperature: our planet has become less reflective because certain types of clouds have declined.
Astrophysicists find the birth sites of gigantic elliptical galaxies which they say gives new clues about how they were formed. The galaxies look like bulging footballs and how they were created remains a mystery to scientists -- until now.
Contradicting the results of several recent studies, the new findings reopen the case that Jupiter-family comets like 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko could have helped deliver water to Earth.
All the singularities of gravitational collapse are "clothed" by the event horizons of black holes – meaning we could never observe one. This is called cosmic censorship.
A new research suggests that the South Pole-Aitken basin may not have formed the way we thought, and may be much bigger than previous studies suggest – a discovery that has exciting implications for future lunar missions to the basin.
An experiment more than 10 years in the making has delivered its first glimpse of the hurricane of particles whirring inside subatomic particles called neutrons, laying the groundwork to solve a mystery deep in the heart of matter.
Healing of broken bones and other damaged tissue could be boosted by 3D-printed implants made of materials based on patients’ own blood, according to researchers.
The northern lights are a stunning show of red and purple lights, but scientists are revealing new secrets about much rarer blue lights.
