In a genomic study encompassing more than 300 genomes, researchers determined the time period during which Neanderthals interbred with modern humans, starting about 50,500 years ago and lasting about ...

Altermagnetism is a distinct form of magnetic order where the tiny constituent magnetic building blocks align antiparallel to their neighbors, but the structure hosting each one is rotated compared to ...

Nicknamed the Firefly Sparkle, the newly-discovered galaxy existed approximately 600 million years after the Big Bang and consisted of a least 10 star clusters. The most distant galaxies detected are ...

New research led by University of Bristol scientists sheds light on how lepidosaurs — the most diverse clade of tetrapods, including lizards and snakes — have evolved remarkably varied jaw shapes, ...

The Atacama Trench stretches along the eastern South Pacific Ocean, plunging to depths exceeding 8,000 m off the coast of northern Chile. The hadal zone, or the deepest 45% of the ocean (6,000-11,000 ...

Dark comets are small bodies with no detected coma that have significant accelerations explainable by outgassing of volatiles, analogous to the first interstellar object 1I/2017 U1 ‘Oumuamua. These ...

In a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Public Health, scientists investigated the associations between intake of added sugar and various sugar-sweetened foods and beverages and risk of 7 ...

Homo juluensis — a newly-erected human species that includes enigmatic Denisovans and several hominin fossils from Tibet, Taiwan and Laos — lived in eastern Asia from around 300,000 years ago to ...

Several groups of meat-eating dinosaurs — tyrannosaurs, spinosaurs and members of the Velociraptor family — stalked what is now the Bexhill-on-Sea region in East Sussex, England, approximately 135 ...

Contradicting the results of several recent studies, the new findings reopen the case that Jupiter-family comets like 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko could have helped deliver water to Earth. Water was ...

Paleontologists have identified a new genus and species of whiteflies and a psyllid from fossils found in Miocene-period crater lake sediments at Hindon Maar near Dunedin in Otago, South Island of New ...

Astronomers using the MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array, an international experiment that uses the MeerKAT Radio Telescope in South Africa, have uncovered further evidence of gravitational wave signals ...
