As many as 15 million people and 1,829 square km land in seven Asian cities could be affected by extreme sea-level rise and coastal flooding by 2030, a recent report by Greenpeace East Asia flagged.
Scientists were alarmed at the amount of dissolved mercury they found in rivers and fjords. The heavy metal raises concerns for the health of indigenous communities. And with global warming, the problem may get worse.
Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein is estimated to be about 1000 times more massive than a typical comet, making it arguably the largest comet discovered in modern times.
A report from the US task force dedicated to investigating UFOs - or, in the official jargon, UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) - has neither confirmed nor rejected the idea such sightings could indicate alien visits to Earth.
The extended “heat dome” could be a taste of the future for the Pacific Northwest as climate change reshapes weather patterns worldwide.
Scientists have cooled a large, human-scale object to close to its motional ground state. The scientists say they now have a chance to observe the effect of gravity on a massive quantum object.
International team of astronomers found a star 100 times larger than our sun that nearly disappears from the sky every few decades. They also have no idea why it does so. This could be a new class of stars.
When light shines on biological matter, part of the wavelength of the light that is reflected back is curled in either a clockwise or counterclockwise spiral. Astrobiologists used this phenomena in their remote sensing technique.
Whereas NASA is seeking partners for its Artemis Program, Russia and China are pursuing an agreement of their own. They call it the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), and they too are looking for partners.
The CHIME radio observatory detected over 500 Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) during its first year in operation. Before CHIME, there were less than 100 total discovered FRBs.
For the first time, astronomers have just found evidence that some of the largest structures in space - cosmic filaments - rotate, on a scale of hundreds of millions of light-years.
The teams each used a varied 3D printing technique to construct a cube-shaped tissue about one centimeter thick and capable of functioning for 30 days in the lab.
El Salvador announced plans on accepting cryptocurrency as legal tender and calls for the use of geothermal energy for bitcoin mining in the country.
There is now a 40 % chance that global temperatures will temporarily reach 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels in the next five years - and these odds are rising, says the World Metrological Organization.
The enhanced growth on one side of the core suggests that something in Earth’s outer core or mantle under Indonesia is removing heat from the inner core at a faster rate than on the opposite side, under Brazil.
