This week, researchers reported on nine rivers and lakes in the Americas that defy hydrologic expectations. Geologists report that Earth's first crust probably had chemical features similar to today's continental crust. And engineers…
Syngenta Biotechnology China-led research, with partners in the U.S., France, the UK, Chile, the Netherlands, Argentina, and across China, has discovered that sunflowers can form viable haploid seeds through parthenogenesis in the absence…
A pair of planetary scientists at the University of California, working with a colleague from the California Institute of Technology, has discovered that a massive amount of ammonia is churned up and down in Jupiter's atmosphere during…
A team of engineers at Fudan University has successfully designed, built and run a 32-bit RISC-V microprocessor that uses molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon as its semiconductor component. Their paper is published in the journal…
Astronomers from the Czech Republic and Argentina have employed the Gemini South telescope to observe a yellow supergiant star designated HD 144812. The observations found that HD 144812 is a rare post-red supergiant orbited by a companion…
A key objective of ongoing research rooted in molecular physics is to understand and precisely control chemical reactions at very low temperatures. At low temperatures, the chemical reactions between charged particles (i.e., ions) and…
