The study, led by biologists at the Department of Biology and research centers Nordcee and the Danish Center for Hadal Research, focuses on so called marine snow.
An international team led by researchers at the Purple Mountain Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has completed a one year observing campaign to better classify these objects.
Physicists at CERNs Large Hadron Collider are recreating this primordial plasma by smashing together heavy ions at relativistic energies, briefly liberating quarks and gluons so they can probe how the early universe behaved in its first microseconds.
Earth's magnetic field is generated by movement in its liquid iron outer core - a process known as a dynamo - but larger rocky worlds like super-earths might have solid or fully liquid cores that cannot produce magnetic fields in the same way.
Researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science Tokyo and collaborators investigated how mixed lipid membranes respond to repeated freeze thaw cycles that mimic temperature fluctuations on the early Earth.
Gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn in our own solar system, are large planets made mostly of helium and/or hydrogen around a dense core, but they have a bit of an identity crisis.
Cosmic birefringence refers to a small rotation in the polarization direction of the cosmic microwave background, the relic radiation from the Big Bang that preserves information about the early universe.
Researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science Tokyo and collaborators investigated how mixed lipid membranes respond to repeated freeze thaw cycles that mimic temperature fluctuations on the early Earth.
In the standard picture, the first stars formed in regions dominated by dark matter, at the centers of dark matter microhalos, a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.
By tuning in to low frequency radio waves, the survey provides a strikingly different view of the cosmos than optical telescopes, tracing relativistic particles spiralling through magnetic fields.
Despite decades of monitoring across radio, optical, and infrared bands, no technosignature has been confirmed, a result often attributed to the fact that only a small fraction of the Galaxy has been explored so far.
In work published in Nature Catalysis, the researchers demonstrate that the bacterium Escherichia coli can be engineered to produce new-to-nature molecules in vivo using light-driven enzymatic reactions.
A team from the Laboratory of Atmospheric and Planetary Physics (LPAP) at the University of Liege has used NASA's Juno spacecraft to resolve, for the first…
The work, which was previously published in the journal npj Microgravity, will be highlighted at the 70th Biophysical Society Annual Meeting in San Francisco…
Mike Fincke, 58, said he's "doing very well and continuing standard post-flight reconditioning" at NASA's center in Houston.
The study, led by Vijay Mohan K. Namboodiri, PhD, an associate professor of Neurology at UCSF, challenges a longstanding view that associative learning is primarily a trial-and-error process in which repeated pairings gradually strengthen expectations.
