The exoplanet HD 189733 b has very similar characteristics to Jupiter. New research reveals that it contains hydrogen sulfide, something rare outside the solar system. How important is this?
Less than a month after being launched, ESA's EarthCARE satellite has sent the first image from one of its four sophisticated instruments: a cloud profiling radar. Scientists hope it will help better predict future climate trends.
Swiss startup FinalSpark uses an approach known as wetware computing, using lab-grown human brain cells. This type of bioprocessor consumes a million times less energy than traditional digital processors.
The planet Gliese 12 b is located 40 light years away from our planet, and within a habitable zone with respect to its star Gliese 12. They define it as "the closest world, in transit, temperate and the size of the Earth up to the date".
The phenomenon affects the region over Brazil and the South Atlantic, with a significantly weaker Earth's magnetic field compared to other parts of the planet. What implications does it have?
Some samples of the impaired waters have a pH of 2.3 compared to the average pH of 8 for these rivers. The problem is spreading to larger rivers. What is happening?
On a bluff hundreds of feet above Lake Michigan sits the Ludington Pumped Storage Plant. We know your way of working and the importance it represents.
A research team led by well-known climatologist Michael Mann predicts the largest number of named tropical systems ever recorded for the coming season. The causes of a season that sets off alarms.
New studies support the idea that the mantle of the Moon was put "upwards" when the satellite was still young. This would explain the chemical asymmetry that its surface presents.
The modern Boeing 777-200ER plane, with 239 people on board, disappeared without explanation on March 8, 2014. Several pieces of debris have been found, although the crash site is still unknown. What will the new search proposed by Ocean Infinity be like?
Déjà vu is a strange sensation that most people have probably experienced at some point in their lives. The jamais vu, its counterpart, has a much lower degree of study. Specialists tell us what it is about and what experiments they carried out.
A new study reveals the damaging potential of these floods, which have always existed but could become more frequent and intense today on an increasingly hot planet.
A new scientific study dives into the little-known realm of nanoplastics, the generation of microplastics that have been further subdivided. They detected between 10 and 100 times more particles than previous estimates.
A revised forecast updates the information provided in 2019 and anticipates that the peak of the current solar cycle would occur within the first 10 months of 2024. What consequences could it have on Earth?
Recent work sheds light on the probable impact of a body called Theia on the Earth. The event would not only have left its mark on the interior of our planet but would also have created the Moon.
After a long period of debate in the scientific community, a 2018 study came to highlight the planetary nebula stage as the most probable final destination of our star. How will the events happen?
The cyclone gained unexpected strength in a matter of hours, and reached the coast of Mexico with sustained winds of 270 km/h. It is estimated to lose strength quickly.
