Astronomers have confirmed a rocky, Earth sized planet orbiting a red dwarf star 41 light years away. Astrophysicists Kevin Stevenson and Jacob Lustig-Yaeger led the team behind the confirmation at ...
The clearest evidence of this reversal came in 2018, when economists Bernt Bratsberg and Ole Rogeberg of the Ragnar Frisch Centre for Economic Research published a landmark study in PNAS. Analyzing ...
The discovery also answers a question that had long puzzled experts: why are these 31 pyramids clustered along a narrow, inhospitable band of desert, far from today’s Nile? The answer is that they ...
In recent months, teams working within the Cathedral deployed endoscopic cameras—yes, the very ones used by doctors for inner body exams—into cracks and crevices of the ancient site, searching through ...

Astronomers have found a galaxy so dark it is nearly invisible, composed almost only of dark matter.
Together, the three observatories confirmed a unique phenomenon. They found four tightly grouped globular clusters sitting apart from any known luminous galaxy. This is the team’s second attempt at ...
When the first astronauts land on Mars, billions of terrestrial microorganisms will arrive with them. New research highlights an invisible obstacle facing deep-space exploration: human-borne microbes ...
Off the coast of Northern California, three tectonic plates grind together. It is one of the most seismically active spots on the continent. Seismologists have now identified the junction in greater ...
The experimental protocol involved playing these recordings to the participating cats while carefully observing their behavioral reactions. The results exceeded the scientists’ expectations. The cats ...
While the prospect of an asteroid striking a major city like Paris feels like science fiction, Earth’s geological record confirms it as a real physical threat. Should such a collision occur, the ...
