Scientists believed that Venus' crust was continuously thickening, in the absence of mechanisms like plate tectonics. However, a publication in Nature Communications proposes a new model based on rock ...

The Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the most iconic predators in Earth's history, hides distant origins spanning Asia and North America. A recent study traces the journey of its ancestors across ancient ...

Precious metal complexes play a crucial role in the development of medical treatments, particularly in oncology. However, their mode of action and behavior in biological environments remain poorly ...

An enigmatic fossil, once considered one of the earliest mollusks, has recently been reclassified by scientists from Durham and Yunnan universities. This discovery challenges our knowledge about the ...

The quest for dark matter has mobilized scientists for decades. Two hypothetical particles, axions and dark photons (see chapter at the end of the article), could be its constituents. Diagram of the ...

Turning building walls into actual rechargeable batteries: this is the ambition of a Franco-Spanish research team. Their goal is to propose a new electrochemical storage technology based on ...

Exactly a century ago, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger laid the foundations of an equation that would mark the history of quantum physics. This equation, bearing his name, describes the behavior ...

Commercial aircraft could be used to cool the planet by injecting particles into the atmosphere. A recent study reveals that this method could be implemented more quickly. Researchers from University ...

The Tiangong station hosts a microorganism unknown on Earth, revealing astonishing adaptations to the space environment. This discovery opens unexpected perspectives for research in biology and ...

Millions of miles (kilometers) of rivers worldwide contain antibiotic pollution levels high enough to promote drug resistance and harm aquatic life, according to a study led by McGill University.

The Terrell-Penrose effect, predicted in 1959, suggests that objects moving at speeds close to that of light appear rotated. This optical illusion results from the combination of relativistic length ...

Could chimpanzees hold a key to the evolution of human language? A recent study reveals complex vocal combinations in our closest relatives. Researchers recorded thousands of vocalizations from wild ...
