High-frequency light is useful. The higher the frequency of light, the shorter its wavelength – and the shorter the wavelength, the smaller the objects and details the light can be used to see.

Understanding the movement of fluids in the Cascadia subduction zone can help researchers pinpoint the risk of earthquakes

Nature is in crisis, and it's only getting worse. As species vanish at a rate not seen in 10 million years, more than 1 million species are currently on the brink. 

In 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic drove a surge in remote work and learning, videoconferencing apps such as Zoom saw their user numbers boom. Plenty of other options were available, but the exponential growth in videoconferencing underlines an essential aspect of human communication: to do it effectively, we need to…

In a new 3D modelling study published this week in Science Advances, we show that the giant extinct shark, Otodus megalodon, was a true globetrotting super-predator.

An analysis of a 1.3 billion-year-old Martian meteorite suggests that the planet had dried out by then

Researchers are claiming a major breakthrough in cracking the genetic code of an iconic Australian animal that has been the source of controversy for years.

The strongest seismic event known to science is the 1960 earthquake that struck the town of Lumaco,near the city of Valdivia.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a novel strategy for identifying potent miniature antibodies, so-called nanobodies, against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. The approach led to the discovery of multiple nanobodies that in cell cultures and mice effectively blocked infection with different SARS-CoV-2 variants. The findings, which are described in the journals…
