7+ hour, 2+ min ago  (549+ words) A leading climate scientist is pushing back against what he describes as "demonstrably incorrect" claims in a major US government climate report, arguing that it misrepresented his research and understated the role of human activity in global warming. Earlier this…...

17+ hour, 16+ min ago  (631+ words) Cosmology news. From deep observations of the far reaches of space and time to spectroscopic analysis and more. Read cosmology articles and consider how astronomers view the origin of the universe....

7+ hour, 47+ min ago  (470+ words) The international research team, led by Andrii Chumak of the University of Vienna, also uncovered an important insight. They found that the lifespan of magnons is not ultimately limited by the laws of physics, but by the quality of the…...

8+ hour, 12+ min ago  (92+ words) Ancient asteroid impacts may have done more than reshape Earth' s surface'they could have helped spark life itself. New computer models show the collisions created enormous underground hydrothermal systems by cracking the planet' s crust and allowing hot…...

10+ hour, 43+ min ago  (1355+ words) Scientists at the University of Glasgow are celebrating the release of a massive new catalog of gravitational wave detections that marks another major step forward for gravitational wave astronomy. The latest catalog adds 161 newly identified signals from colliding black holes…...

11+ hour, 30+ min ago  (753+ words) Water has been studied more than almost any other substance, yet scientists have long debated a surprisingly simple question: What happens to its chemistry when it is squeezed into spaces only a few molecules wide? Those tiny spaces exist throughout…...

12+ hour, 24+ min ago  (138+ words) A new quantum device can generate precisely controlled bursts of sound-like particles, or phonons, by forcing electrons through an ultra-thin crystal at extremely low temperatures. The surprising behavior pushes beyond the limits predicted by current theories, suggesting scientists need to…...

13+ hour, 59+ min ago  (67+ words) The rhythm of human laughter appears to have deep evolutionary roots shared with chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans. That ancient pattern may offer one of the clearest clues yet to how the vocal control needed for human speech gradually evolved....

18+ hour, 21+ min ago  (541+ words) A team of researchers recreated a life-size oviraptor nest to investigate how these bird-like dinosaurs incubated their eggs millions of years ago. By combining physical experiments with heat transfer simulations, they discovered that oviraptors likely relied on both their own…...
