Scientists at Amherst College and Aalto University have created, for the first time a three-dimensional skyrmion in a quantum gas. The skyrmion was predicted theoretically over 40 years ago, but only now has it been observed experimentally.
A team of planetary scientists from Brown University and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center has mapped the mineralogy of the South Pole-Aitken basin, a vast impact structure on the far side of the Moon. Published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, the findings could help guide future exploration of the basin.
When you look up at the moon, it’s hard to believe this mystical glowing orb floating among the stars was once in the throes of chaos.
A BRIGHT meteor which was said to have exploded over Michigan has sparked frantic speculation if it was actually a UFO or missile.
It is now possible to create complex, custom-designed transmembrane proteins from scratch, scientists report this week. The advance, led by molecular engineers at the University of Washington Institute for Protein Design, will enable researchers to create transmembrane proteins not found in nature to perform specific tasks.
NASA has said a newly-discovered space rock as big as a three-storey house is on an “uncertain” path with our planet – so will Asteroid 2018 AJ hit Earth?
A swarm of more than 200 earthquakes struck Yellowstone National Park over the past two weeks, but that probably doesn’t mean the “big one” is coming anytime soon, according to geologists from the park. The 200 temblors began on Feb. 8 and ramped up on Feb. 15 in an area about 8 miles (13 kilometers)
The application of extreme pressure dramatically affects the chemical properties of xenon, so that it stops acting aloof and interacts with iron and nickel.
A new study explains how a lemon-shaped virus assembles itself and how the virus ejects the DNA it carries into host cells.
New observations stir up debate over an abundance of antimatter found in our atmosphere.
