    Why is one half of Mars so different from the other? ‘Marsquakes’ may reveal the answer

    A map showing the “Mars dichotomy”: southern highlands are yellow and orange, northern lowlands are blue and green. Credit: NASA / JPL / USGS Mars is home to perhaps the solar system’s greatest mystery, the so-called “Martian dichotomy,” which has baffled scientists ever since it was discovered in the 1970s. Mars’ southern highlands (which make up about two-thirds of the…

    Fast Belly Flop: Researchers reveal cricket frog’s unique skill

    Graduate researcher Talia Weiss observes cricket frogs. Credit: Jake Socha. Can frogs walk on water? Some species have captivated observers with their ability to jump from side to side from the surface of a pond or soar into the air as if the water were land. One such breed, native to Virginia and North Carolina, is the cricket frog. The…

    Decades of observations reveal secrets of Antarctic fast ice

    Fast ice near the shoreline of McMurdo Sound. Seen here in December 1990. Among other roles, such ice protects continental ice from ocean waves and provides an important base for research. Credit: Michael Van Wort/NOAA, Public Domain Sea ice that lasts for at least 15 days and is anchored to the coastline is called “fast ice.” Around Antarctica, fast ice…

    Long-term records reveal the impact of climate change on atmospheric circulation

    The global map shows global cloud cover on July 11, 2005, based primarily on observations from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor aboard the NASA Terra satellite. Patterns in cloud cover reveal large-scale atmospheric circulation. Credit: NASA How climate change affects thermodynamic signals such as atmospheric temperature is relatively well understood. However, its influence on atmospheric circulation is more…

    Researchers reveal perfect gray light trap in structured light

    Credit: Physical Review A (2024). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.110.063517 A research group led by Professor Yao Baoli and Dr. Xu Xiaohao from the Xi’an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM), Chinese Academy of Sciences, has revealed a completely gray light trap in structured light. Although they are nanoparticles, they appear in regions where the intensity is neither maximum nor minimum. The…

    Hydrogen’s dual nature helps reveal hidden catalytic processes

    Credit: Nature Catalysis (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41929-024-01262-w Microorganisms have long used hydrogen as an energy source. To do this, they rely on hydrogenases that contain metals in their catalytic centers. In order to use these biocatalysts for hydrogen conversion, researchers are working to understand the catalytic process. A team from three Max Planck Institutes (MPI), the Center for Neurodegenerative Imaging (BIN)…

  • EarthBuried Landforms Reveal Ancient Glacial Past Of North Sea

    Buried landforms reveal ancient glacial past of North Sea

    Credit: CC0 Public Domain An international research team including glaciologists from the University of Newcastle in the UK has discovered an extremely well-preserved glacial landform buried approximately one kilometer underground in the North Sea. Researchers used sound wave data, known as seismic data, to reveal Ice Age landforms buried under almost 1km of mud in the North Sea. The results,…

  • EnvironmentSatellite Observations Reveal That Changes In Rainfall Patterns Affect Crops

    Satellite observations reveal that changes in rainfall patterns affect crops and forests

    Earth’s rainy days are changing, and plant life is responding. This visualization shows global average precipitation based on over 20 years of data from 2000 to 2023. Cooler colors indicate areas with less rainfall. Warmer colors receive more rain. Credit: NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio A new NASA-led study has found that how the rain falls in a given year is…
