A new study predicts massive range declines of Africa’s great apes — gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos — due to the impacts of climate change, land-use changes and human population growth.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: A shark mystery millions of years in the making
The biggest shark attack in history did not involve humans. A new study by earth scientists has turned up a massive die-off of sharks roughly 19 million years ago. It came at a period in history when there were more than 10 times more sharks patrolling…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Young T. rexes had a powerful bite, capable of exerting one-sixth the force of an adult
Scientists have experimentally measured the bite force of adult T. rexes but not of younger tyrannosaurs. Fossils with juvenile bite marks have now allowed experts to experimentally test how hard juveniles could chomp. Though their bite force is one-si…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: How an elephant’s trunk manipulates air to eat and drink
New research finds that elephants dilate their nostrils in order to create more space in their trunks, allowing them to store up to nine liters of water. They can also suck up three liters per second — a speed 50 times faster than a human sneeze. The …
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Biologists construct a ‘periodic table’ for cell nuclei
Biologists have created a new classification system for cell nuclei — and shown how they can be transmuted from one type into another.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Understanding of invisible but mighty particles in Earth’s radiation belts
Tiny charged electrons and protons which can damage satellites and alter the ozone have revealed some of their mysteries to scientists.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Dark matter map reveals hidden bridges between galaxies
A new map of dark matter in the local universe reveals several previously undiscovered filamentary structures connecting galaxies. The map, developed using machine learning, could enable studies about the nature of dark matter as well as about the hist…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Solar geoengineering may be effective in alleviating impacts of global warming on crops
A growing body of research has explored the ability of solar geoengineering to reduce physical climate changes. But much less is known about how solar geoengineering could affect the ecosystem and, particularly, agriculture. Now, research finds that so…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: New evidence of how and when the Milky Way came together
New research provides the best evidence to date into the timing of how our early Milky Way came together, including the merger with a key satellite galaxy. Using relatively new methods in astronomy, the researchers were able to identify the most precis…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Harvesting light like nature does
Inspired by nature, researchers have created a novel material capable of capturing light energy. This material provides a highly efficient artificial light-harvesting system with potential applications in photovoltaics and bioimaging.
