A radiation belt is a doughnut-shape region around a celestial object where charged particles are trapped by a magnetic field. These magnetic structures were...
Ammonia (NH3) is emerging as a promising low-carbon fuel and hydrogen carrier in the quest to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. However, in...
Plans for over one million satellites have been submitted to the International Telecommunications Union, a United Nations agency, in the last 6 years. Either...
The earliest ecosystems we know of were built entirely by microscopic lifeforms. Similar ecosystems that exist today help us understand the history of life on...
Clouds are an indispensable part of our Earth’s atmosphere. Although closely associated with rain, water is not the only substance a cloud can carry. Using...
The collapse of rapidly rotating massive stars is known to launch collimated jets of material moving at nearly the speed of light. These phenomena produce high...
A material with characteristics between crystal and glass has been accidentally created by an electrical discharge (likely a lightning strike) in the Sand...
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plants and is necessary for making proteins. We gathered a diverse set of published records measuring nitrogen...
Faraway galaxies are hard to detect, not only because they appear fainter, but also because the light that we detect from them is infrared. Many of these...
Insects are a key part of the earth’s life support system, making reports of steep declines a great concern. Our study, one of the largest assessments of...
Better representation of Northern Hemisphere vegetation may resolve a scientific debate over how global temperatures changed during the past 12,000 years. Our...
Fast radio bursts are millisecond-duration, extremely bright flashes of radio light that reach us from other galaxies. We do not know what they are but...
