In recent years, physicists have discovered materials that are able to switch their electrical character from a metal to an insulator, and even to a superconductor, which is a material in a friction-… [+7707 chars]
Stephen Hawking’s black hole information paradox has baffled scientists for half a century and led some to question the fundamental laws of physics. Scientists now say they may have solved the infamo… [+4039 chars]
Hopes have been raised that the dodo could be brought back from extinction after scientists sequenced the bird's entire genome for the first time. They spent years struggling to find well enough pre… [+9966 chars]
March’s full moon — called the "worm moon" — is set to reach peak illumination early Friday and will be the last full moon of winter 2022. The full moon will rise on Thursday night, and if the weath… [+1805 chars]
A theorized huge, ninth planet beyond the orbit of Neptune once again wasn't found in a new survey of the solar system's outer reaches. Astronomers scanned a large portion of the sky using the 6-met… [+3318 chars]
Two astronauts exited the International Space Station airlock on Tuesday on a nearly 7-hour spacewalk to continue the years-long process of upgrading the orbiting laboratory’s power grid. NASA Astro… [+1870 chars]
Modern nanotechnology products and methods require advanced nanomanipulation techniques to manufacture and work with nanoscale objects accurately, efficiently, and automatically. A recent study propo… [+6721 chars]
An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has managed to study the flight behaviour of the mysterious black swift. They found, among other things, that the black swift rises to … [+1861 chars]
Dr. Parker, he said, was happy when people pointed out a mistake in his calculations but not pleased when people accepted prevalent scientific assumptions without question. He had little patience fo… [+1617 chars]
In a pair of world firsts, UBC scientists have 3D printed human testicular cells and identified promising early signs of sperm-producing capabilities. The researchers, led by UBC urology assistant … [+3920 chars]
A team of researchers led by the University of Copenhagen recently looked at volcanic eruptions on Earth for the last 60,000 years. To estimate the number and intensity of these eruptions, the scient… [+2260 chars]
A massive release of greenhouse gases, likely triggered by volcanic activity, caused a period of abrupt global warming known as the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) 56 million years ago. A new… [+4411 chars]
