The meteor at least 1 kilometer wide entered Earth's atmosphere and impacted Western Australia, unleashing a fireball estimated more than 8 miles wide.

Ethan White, an environmental data scientist, emphasizes that data collection is an ongoing effort, reflecting the importance of maintaining and updating data over time.

Hominenteromicrobium mulieris, a gut bacterium, enhances the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in mice. This discovery may lead to improved cancer treatments for people.

The intuitive answer to the Kakeya problem is that the needle would trace a perfect circle. However, if moved skillfully, it can draw a triangle with concave sides, covering a smaller area.

Britain and France are collaborating to enhance technology supporting PNT systems in response to GPS vulnerabilities highlighted by signal jamming during the Ukraine conflict.

The discrepancy between FEMA estimates and more updated models that consider rainfall and flash flooding illustrates significant differences in risk evaluations for flood-prone areas.

Richard Feynman once said that all the mysteries of quantum mechanics are contained in the double-slit experiment. The electrons behave like waves, creating interference patterns.

Ryan Williams presented a groundbreaking proof linking time and memory in computing, suggesting that a small amount of memory can significantly outperform extensive time usage in algorithms.

Researchers have developed a 74-milligram brain controller that turns bees into cyborgs, allowing them to be commanded to fly in specific directions. The bees obey commands nine out of ten times.

A 37-year-old woman was in waist-deep water when she was bitten on the right foot, transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Mrs Karteepan stated, 'When one of my pupils asked me 'can we go to space?', naturally I said yes. Our students have built a working satellite instrument and have now tested it under genuine flight conditions.'

The "Water from Air" dispenser is a simple, portable device that pulls drinkable water straight out of the air, offering a practical solution to water scarcity.

The world of science is divided between theorists who derive predictions from models and experimentalists who test these theories against reality to understand our Universe.

The new "Station" mechanic also makes the other half of the card better since it might let you kill a creature your opponent tapped to put counters on their own spacecraft.

Glial cells play a crucial role in brain regeneration and overall function, supporting neurophysiological functions, cognition, and behavior to enhance skills and coordination.

The structures, which mimic the heart, liver, lungs, and gut, are some of the most complex models of human development ever made, and contain cell populations and structures not seen before in these models.

The European Space Agency has selected five launch startups to become eligible for up to 169 million euros in funding to develop alternatives to Arianespace.

Ray Hamel presents daily quizzes from Monday to Friday, each focusing on a different unique topic, encouraging players to challenge themselves against average scores.

Researchers have described proteins that they say are among the most ancient ever sequenced, pushing back the genetic fossil record to more than 20 million years ago.

O3, an AI model from OpenAI, achieved the top rank among 23 LLMs in answering scientific questions across multiple fields, evaluated on the SciArena platform.

Ctesibius's innovations in water clock technology solved mechanical riddles, significantly improving the precision of timekeeping in ancient civilizations.

We've heard the situation from the U.S. where some data are disappearing, where databases are being stopped, and this is really a wake-up call that we as a community need to do more about this and Europe needs to do more about it.

The technology in scope of the agreement includes positioning, navigation and timing systems that critical national infrastructure suppliers rely on, forming part of a wider suite of joint science and tech work.

Professor Michael Garrett from the University of Manchester states, 'I don't think they need to be more than a few hundred years more advanced than we are.' This indicates that advanced civilizations might not be as far beyond us as we think.

Maryrose Weatherton's NSF grant was terminated due to the project's focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, reflecting a broader trend under the Trump administration's funding priorities.

On July 9, the world experienced one of the shortest days in recorded history, at 1.3 milliseconds shorter than the average day.

Rivers will develop multiple channels if they erode their banks faster than they deposit sediment on their opposing banks. This can lead to channels widening and dividing over time.

We've sent out one or two little messages, but we certainly aren't investing billions of dollars shouting out into the cosmos saying, "Hey, we are here. Come say hi."
