Magnetars are neutron stars with powerful magnetic fields and their behaviour may be more complex than astronomers previously thought.

To what degree does cannabis consumption, frequency of use, and mode of consumption affect cognitive ability?
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.
Research focusing on the analysis of living arrangements showed that Neanderthals were much more like Homo sapiens than we might suppose.
The volcanic complex, provisionally called "Noctis volcano", reaches an altitude of 9,022 meters and has a diameter of approximately 450 kilometers. It is believed to have been an active volcano for a long time.
According to astronomers at the Planetary Science Institute, there is a surprising link between stars passing near the solar system and our planet's orbit and climate.
Glory have been seen on a planet outside the solar system for the first time, but what are they and why do they occur?
The mosquito is the vector of dengue disease, and many others that can also be fatal to humans. However, healthy mosquitoes are needed to maintain balance in the ecosystem. We review its three most important functions.
After a few months of analysis, NASA decides to offer part of the samples from the asteroid Bennu to the scientific community around the world. It will be enough to present a proposal for scientific use and wait hopefully.
Scientists are redoubling efforts to investigate the potential risks and benefits of artificially shading the Earth's surface to slow global warming. Find out more here!
What is happening in the Arctic-Boreal regions is a manifestation of the climate feedback mechanism to global warming. The "anthropic" methane emission indirectly produces an increase in the "natural" methane emission, thus accelerating the global warming process.
Researchers in Exeter and Paris have derived simple equations to explain the impact of clouds on future climate change.
