The teeny tiny arms of Tyrannosaurus rex have been the butt of jokes for many scientists and non-scientists alike. We have various hypotheses: perhaps its arms were vicious slashing machines or a way… [+3570 chars]
It turns out that Mars is rumblier than we knew. New techniques have revealed previously undetected quakes beneath the Martian surface and, scientists say, the best explanation so far is ongoing volc… [+4196 chars]
A team of scientists has identified that Mercury, the solar system's smallest planet has geomagnetic storms similar to those on Earth. The findings of the research were published in the journal, 'Nat… [+2759 chars]
Nasas Perseverance rover has recorded what is believed to be the first-ever Martian sounds. The team operating its SuperCam2 instrument (pictured below) believes that the study of the soundscape of… [+2687 chars]
Markus Ralser never intended to study the origin of life. His research focused mainly on how cells feed themselves, and on how these processes can go wrong in organisms that are stressed or ill. But … [+12434 chars]

NASA’s Nancy Gracy Roman Space Telescope won’t launch until 2027, and it won’t start operating until some time after that. But that isn’t stopping excited scientists from dreaming about their new toy… [+11810 chars]
One of the most challenging aspects of modern chemistry is managing data. For example, when synthesizing a new compound, scientists will go through multiple attempts of trial-and-error to find the ri… [+4724 chars]
In recent years, researchers have begun to explore the vast assemblage of microbes on and within the human body. These include protists, archaea, fungi, viruses and vast numbers of bacteria living in… [+7455 chars]
In the first few billion years after the Big Bang, the universe contained far more so-called starburst galaxies than models predict. As many as 60 to 90% of the stars in the early universe appear to … [+3429 chars]
Scientists from ANU and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing have discovered 47 previously undetected marsquakes beneath the Martian crust in an area called Cerberus Fossae. But what caused t… [+3204 chars]
When the rock now known as the Chicxulub impactor plummeted from outer space and slammed into the Earth 66 million years ago, cockroaches were there. The impact caused a massive earthquake, and scien… [+3560 chars]
