In the work led by first-author Joan Garcia-Porta, a postdoctoral research associate in biology in Arts & Sciences and now a fellow in the Department of Genetics at the University of Barcelona, t… [+3064 chars]
Stargazers will be treated with a new celestial event as the Lyrid meteor shower will light up the sky on Friday night and Saturday morning. Starting on April 15, the meteor shower will continue till… [+1813 chars]
It's messy out there in the universe. In the latest example, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has found intermediate-mass black holes that are growing by ripping apart and consuming thousands of… [+3579 chars]
A puzzling process called magnetic reconnection triggers explosive phenomena throughout the universe, creating solar flares and space storms that can take down mobile phone service and electrical pow… [+4584 chars]
Most impact craters are usually circular and fairly symmetric, but not all. This odd-shaped crater on Mars is obviously an impact crater, but it has a unique oblong shape. What happened? Most crater… [+2080 chars]
Antarctic sea-ice has expanded over the period of continuous satellite monitoring, which seemingly contradicts ongoing global warming resulting from increasing concentrations of greenhouse gasses. In… [+4439 chars]
For the first time since 947 AD, four planets will line up across the southeastern sky tomorrow morning. If you head outside just before sunrise, from around 4:30am to 5am AEST, you can get a glimps… [+1275 chars]
Imagine a home on Mars. Is it filled with bacteria? When we send humans to Mars , they'll need places to live. In a new study, a team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), in … [+4201 chars]
