Researchers have presented evidence that a Middle Bronze Age city called Tall el-Hammam, located in the Jordan Valley northeast of the Dead Sea, was destroyed by a cosmic airburst.
A new study speaks to the importance of public awareness programs in keeping residents -- and emergency management offices -- informed about rare but potentially lethal natural events in their area.
Since the Perseverance rover landed in Jezero crater on Mars in February, the rover and its team of scientists back on Earth have been hard at work exploring the floor of the crater that once held an ancient lake. Perseverance and the Mars 2020 mission are looking for signs of ancient life on Mars and preparing a returnable cache of samples for later analyses on Earth.
New research has uncovered a novel way to combine two different states of matter. For one of the first times, topological photons -- light -- has been combined with lattice vibrations, also known as phonons, to manipulate their propagation in a robust and controllable way.
Researchers have devised and tested a new, highly sensitive method of detecting and counting defects in transistors -- a matter of urgent concern to the semiconductor industry as it develops new materials for next-generation devices.
Researchers have discovered that the more severely infected with COVID-19 a mother is, the more likely she is to experience preterm birth.
Researchers have developed a versatile composite fabric that can deactivate both biological threats, such as the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, and chemical threats, such as those used in chemical warfare. A material that is effective against both classes of threats is rare. The new material also is reusable. It can be restored to its original state after the fabric has been exposed to...
Engineers have developed a new type of wearable with several unprecedented benefits. Not only are the devices custom 3D-printed based on body scans of wearers, but they can operate continuously using a combination of wireless power transfer and compact energy storage.
The full magnitude of the impact of smoke from seasonal fires in Central Africa - and in particular, the potential climate warming from the absorption by the black carbon component of the aerosol - is underestimated by some climate models over the South-East Atlantic, new research has shown.
