Five well-publicised geoengineering proposals to reduce the impact of climate change in the polar regions are “extremely unlikely” to work, and are a risk to the environment, say NZ and international ...

There are four bases: Adenine and Guanine (purines); Cytosine and Thymine (Pyrimidines). Purines have two carbon-nitrogen rings while pyrimidines have a single carbon-nitrogen ring. Thus, there are ...

It hasn't rained in Indianapolis since September 25, meaning oil and dirt from cars have built up for about a week and a half on the roads.

The discovery strengthens the case for a new mission to orbit and land on Enceladus and search for evidence of life.

Though mirror biology might lead to improved drugs and other innovations, scientists have warned against potentially devastating consequences of this research ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded for a versatile technology that can be used for an astonishing variety of purposes, from environmental remediation to drug delivery and energy ...

This is an amazing discovery for the potential habitability of the moon’s ocean. The Cassini observations have shown that Enceladus has a deep ocean, it has hydrothermal activity, it has chemistry, ...

The south pole of Enceladus—a tiny moon orbiting Saturn—is a volatile place. In this region, the moon’s subsurface ocean spews jets of water through four “tiger stripe” cracks in the icy crust, ...

In nature, the behavior of systems—whether large or small—is always governed by a few fundamental principles. For instance, objects fall downward because it minimizes their energy. At the same time, ...

Researchers have for the first time measured the true properties of individual MXene flakes—an exciting new nanomaterial with potential for better batteries, flexible electronics, and clean energy ...

The former Sea World bear left the Gold Coast just over a year ago for the icy temperatures of Ontario and has fast become one of our most-loved exports. Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat conservation ...
