A team of international scientists, including researchers from The Australian National University (ANU), have unveiled the largest number of gravitational waves ever detected. The discoveries will help solve some of the most complex mysteries of the Universe, including the building blocks of matter and the workings of space and time. The global team’s study, published ...
New research at Flinders University has analyzed a rare non-returning boomerang collection from Kinipapa (Cooper Creek) near Innamincka in South Australia’s far northeast. The four boomerangs and one wooden fragment were discovered in the creek bed during drought conditions in 2017 and 2018 by Jason Litherland from National Parks and Wildlife South Australia and Katheryn ...
Plants are able to predict when infections are more likely to occur and regulate their immune response accordingly by using their molecular clock, new research has found. Led by the University of Warwick, the researchers discovered that a plant’s molecular clock is connected to its immune system to increase levels of resistance to infection at dawn ...
Many Dutch ships passed the West Australian coast while en route to Southeast Asia in the 1600s. The national heritage listed shipwreck Batavia has revealed through its timbers the history of the shipbuilding materials that enabled Dutch seafaring domination through the Dutch East India Company (VOC) to flourish against major European rivals for the first time. ...
A team of international researchers led by the University of Arizona reported last year that they had uncovered the largest and oldest Mayan monument — Aguada Fénix. That same team has now uncovered nearly 500 smaller ceremonial sites that are similar in shape and features to Aguada Fénix. The find transforms previous understanding of Mesoamerican ...
Planets and their stars form from the same reservoir of nebular material and their chemical compositions should therefore be correlated, but the observed compositions of planets do not match completely those of their central stars. In our Solar System, for example, all the rocky planets and planetesimals contain near-solar proportions of refractory elements (elements like ...
Space has become a trash heap. According to NASA, there are more than 27,000 pieces of space junk bigger than the size of a softball currently orbiting Earth, and they are traveling at speeds of up to 17,500 mph, fast enough for a small chunk to damage a satellite or spacecraft like an intergalactic cannonball. ...
Researchers from the University of Florida have pulled almost 100 fossils from a flooded cave in the Bahamas, and the story they tell is one of triumph; that is until humans came into the picture. Out of 39 species examined, 22 of them disappeared after the arrival of humans some 1,000 years ago. The 39 ...
A video of almost 200 people taking over Antwerp Train Station in Belgium in a carefully choreographed dance to the Do Re Mi song that Maria sings in The Sound of Music has reached over 1 million hits. While people, including myself, like to watch viral videos, this one seems to have struck an especially ...
Have you ever heard the ocean sing? Well, here is your chance. On the coast of Zadar in Croatia, there is a sea organ that will leave you mesmerized. The natural musical instrument gives a sense of unity between the architecture and its environment, leaving nature itself as the performer. The haunting notes are produced ...
