Beyond chemistry, electricity plays a central role. Electrostatic forces help lift fine dust into Mars’s atmosphere, a critical step in the formation of the planet-wide dust storms that occur every ...

For new readers, here’s a brief overview. The Polar Vortex is a large scale winter circulation over the Northern Hemisphere. Imagine it as a spinning wall of wind above the polar regions, stretching ...

Passionate about science since childhood, particularly astronomy and its connections to Earth's history and life's diversity, I've built my career around science communication. With an academic ...

At an age when most teenagers are finishing high school, Laurent Simons has already earned a doctoral degree in quantum physics — a milestone that has captured attention from labs and universities ...

Astronomers classify galaxies according to their morphology. Our Milky Way belongs to a category known as spiral galaxies. Like more than 65 percent of galaxies in the universe, it features a central ...

What if, after age 80, meat became an unexpected ally of longevity? While vegetarian diets are often presented as the healthiest option, a Chinese study challenges that assumption. Weight, muscle mass ...

The polar jet stream is a high altitude air current, flowing at elevations between 8 and 12 kilometers, that moves at very high speeds across the Northern Hemisphere. Its role is to separate cold air ...

Anne Cordier, a researcher in information and communication sciences at the University of Rouen, has observed declining computer skills among students from elementary through high school. Literature ...

Born in Vichy in 1969, I grew up during the Apollo era, inspired by space exploration, nuclear energy, and major scientific discoveries. Early on, I developed a passion for quantum physics, relativity ...

A closer look reveals that nearly all of the deltas studied are sinking locally faster than the sea is rising, with the exception of the Rio Grande delta. In 38 deltas, more than half of the analyzed ...

Of these, 1,224 individuals (2.7 percent) reached 100. Women accounted for 85 percent of centenarians. The study focused on twelve blood biomarkers linked to inflammation, metabolism, liver and kidney ...

Iceberg A23a calved from Antarctica in 1986 — the same year Top Gun hit movie theaters. An immense block of ice, it remained for decades one of the largest icebergs ever observed by scientists. At the ...
