Ice cores from top-secret Army base reveal Greenland was largely ice-free millions of years ago
A new study published in the journal PNAS suggests that Greenland might have been largely ice-free millions of years ago. Researchers arrived at this conclusion after studying ice core samples that U.S. Army scientists dug from a mile below northwestern Greenland in 1966 as part of a top-secret project codenamed “Iceworm.” The ice core was lost in a freezer for decades before it was […]

Study: Rolling blocks of dry ice create gullies on Mars
Gullies on Mars have fascinated scientists for some time. These sawtoothed networks of narrow channels commonly appear on Martian slopes. They look just like gullies on Earth and give the impression that powerful streams of water recently cascaded the surface. But all of the water on the Red Planet has been hidden underground or locked up on the poles as […]

Universal memories: Astronomers closer to detecting gravitational waves that leave behind “memories” as they pass through
Astronomers are getting closer to detecting the “memory” that gravitational waves leave behind as they pass through space. Next-generation facilities and existing ones, such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the U.S. and the Virgo Interferometer in Italy, will be key to this detection. In an article for Space, astrophysicist Paul Sutter of the Ohio State University wrote […]

Scientists spot rare owl species not seen since 1892
The elusive Otus brookii brookii, a Bornean subspecies of the Rajah scops owl, hasn’t been observed since 1892, when it was first discovered. Its song is also unknown to scientists, making it that much harder to find. Now, scientists have shot the first-ever photograph of the Bornean Rajah scops owl. It was included in a study published […]

Scientists discover fully regenerating marine animal
Certain amphibians, fish and other sea creatures can grow back missing limbs or damaged organs like brains and hearts. But one species of sea squirt, in particular, takes regeneration to the extreme, growing back entire organs even after being dissected into three separate, organless sections. Researchers from Tel Aviv University in Israel were shocked to discover that the sea […]

See-through solar cells can generate power while helping plants grow
New research out of North Carolina State University showed that it is possible to grow lettuce in greenhouses that filter out wavelengths of light used to generate solar power. Published in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science, the study demonstrates the feasibility of installing see-through organic solar cells on the roofs of greenhouses to generate electricity without stunting plant growth. Moreover, these see-through […]

Mysterious radio circles in outer space could be newfound remnants of black hole mergers, study suggests
A new study suggests that the gigantic blobs of radio emissions found floating in outer space in 2019 could be the result of two colliding black holes. Researchers note that the blobs, which they dubbed “odd radio circles” (ORC), are unlike anything seen before. While they have offered other hypotheses, they also raise the possibility that a highly energetic event took […]

NASA’s Voyager 1 discovers mysterious “hum” outside the solar system
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration‘s (NASA) Voyager 1 probe has picked up a strange “hum” coming from outside our solar system. Launched back in 1977, Voyager 1 is currently the most distant man-made object ever. Its 44-year journey has taken it past the edge of the solar system into the interstellar medium. Now, instruments aboard Voyager 1 that have […]

Sharks use Earth’s magnetic field like GPS, study suggests
A new study published in the journal Current Biology suggests that sharks use the Earth’s magnetic field to find their way in the sea. Researchers led by biologist Bryan Keller reported this after exposing bonnethead sharks to different magnetic conditions. In one test, the bonnetheads were tricked into thinking that they were located south of their home. In response, the […]

“Misbehaving” subatomic particle may point to a fifth force of nature, researchers suggest
An international team of researchers found strong evidence suggesting that a subatomic particle called a muon might be breaking the accepted laws of physics. During an experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), muons inside a magnetized ring wobbled in totally unpredictable ways, suggesting that there are forces and particles that remain unknown to physicists. What are muons? Muons are sometimes […]
