Researchers have identified nearly a thousand potential members and 31 confirmed members of stellar associations — stars of similar ages and compositions that are drifting together through space — in our own corner of the Milky Way. Their research could help astronomers understand the evolution of stars and the properties of future exoplanet discoveries.
New research suggests that the same factors driving the Arctic's changing climate are fueling a geological response that could play a small part in counteracting those changes' malign effects.
New socioeconomic research has found that a market disruptor has turned the 'invisible hand' theory on its head.
Researchers have developed a compact imaging system that can measure the shape and light-reflection properties of objects with high speed and accuracy.
A new study shows that plant evolutionary history plays a critical role in regulating year-to-year variation of biomass production in grasslands. In the face of climate change, understanding causes of variability in key ecosystem services such as biomass production is essential.
Scientists have built a model that predicts how temperature affects the spread of Ross River virus, a common mosquito-borne virus in Australia.
Engineers have devised a new way to make sprayed droplets hit and stick to their targets. The team accomplished this in a surprisingly simple way, by placing a fine mesh in between the spray and the intended target to break up droplets into ones that are only one-thousandth as big.
Scientists have revealed a novel brain network that links pain in Parkinson's disease to a specific region of the brain.
By making hydrophobic sections water-soluble, researchers hope to learn more about protein structures.
It has been almost 20 years since the human genome was first sequenced, but researchers still know little about how the genome is folded up and organized within cells. Researchers describe a new technique that can measure the position of every single gene in the nucleus to build a 3D picture of the genome's organization.
