Recently-revealed notebooks belonging to a late paleontologist contain the missing information needed to help researchers finish their study of a remarkable fossil discovered nearly three decades ago.

In the forests of the southeastern United States, dense tree cover dominates most landscapes. That's why the Appalachian Trail is sometimes nicknamed "The Green Tunnel." But avid hikers know that ...

Samples from Ryugu, a small, near-Earth asteroid, preserve natural remanent magnetization (NRM) from the early history of the solar system. However, despite multiple studies, there is currently no ...

In the summer of 2024, the researchers hit the road, chasing storms from Florida to Pennsylvania. Finally, they got lucky: While camped out during a thunderstorm in Pembroke, North Carolina, they ...

Paleomagnetic analysis of 28 Ryugu asteroid particles reveals stable magnetization acquired within millions of years of solar ...

Professor Ranjith Pathegama Gamage is one of Australia’s most accomplished and internationally recognised engineers, whose work is redefining the future of mining, rare earths and deep-Earth resources ...

It’s easy, looking at the past year, to see the damage the administration has done. But researchers are also stepping up, ...

For the first time, researchers have observed and measured weak electrical discharges, known as coronae, on trees during thunderstorms. A new study describes the near-invisible sparkles appearing ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The electrical energy generated by thunderstorms can make our hair stand up, and even create ...

Uranus does not behave like an ordinary planet. Its magnetic field tilts by nearly 60 degrees and sits off-center, so the charged particles that spark auroras do not gather in neat rings.

March 2026 could be the best month for the northern lights until the mid-2030s, as celestial mechanics and solar activity combine for potentially potent results.

Scientists develop a forecasting system that predicts high-risk windows and regions for solar superflares, using 50 years of X-ray data and machine learning techniques.
