A lawsuit over the use of pink fire retardant could reshape how the U.S. Forest Service battles wildfires as they grow larger and more destructive.
Diverse branching forms have evolved multiple times across the tree of life to facilitate resource acquisition and exchange with the environment. The post Earth’s Earliest Land Plants Were Branched, New Research Suggests appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News.
The dayside of TRAPPIST-1b, the innermost planet in the seven-planet system TRAPPIST-1, has a temperature of about 227 degrees Celsius (441 degrees Fahrenheit). The post Webb Measures Temperature of TRAPPIST-1b appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News.
A new class of compounds could offer the benefits of gastric bypass surgery without surgery (reduce weight, lower blood glucose, and boost calorie burn), while…
As the U.S. pushes for wider access to naloxone, a fast-acting opioid antidote, researchers are exploring cannabidiol (CBD) as a potential alternative due to its…
Microplastic particles, less than 5 mm wide, pose potential harm to aquatic life and humans as they pervade waterways worldwide. Researchers have developed a two-stage…
What goes wrong in our bodies during the progression of an inflammatory disease? Scientists at the School of Biochemistry and Immunology in the Trinity Biomedical…
High magnification views and big lenses make the Skymasters ideal for stargazing or getting a view of far-away subjects, even into twilight hours, but you’ll need a tripod.
Researchers have discovered a vast cranium collection that was likely left as an offering to Ramesses II, a much-loved pharaoh who died around 1,000 years before the skulls were embalmed.
The meatball is a one-off and has not been tasted, even by its creators, nor is it planned to be put into production. Instead, it was intended to get people talking about the future of meat. (Image credit: Mike Corder/AP)
To understand Earth’s changing climate, scientists often turn to science-based computer simulations. Researchers strive to make these Earth system models as accurate as possible. Factors such as wind currents, air quality, and weather patterns all play a role. But current
The world’s salty, tidal marshes are hotspots of carbon storage and productivity, building up sediments and plant material to stay above sea level. However, as sea level rises at an increasing rate, scientists debate whether it’s possible for wetlands to
If you live along one of the major interstate highways running through Chicago or directly next to Lake Michigan, you are regularly exposed to more air pollution than the rest of the city, a new Northwestern University study has found.
The oldest parts of the brain are impacted.
There are two words that most people never want to hear at a rocket launch, “abort” and “scrub.” As Starship’s orbital test flight gets closer, it may take multiple attempts to get Booster 7 and Ship 24 off the ground.
Any heavier, it’d go nuclear.
It’s not an exact science.
