Geologists discover the first evidence of 4.5-billion-year-old "proto Earth"Boston MA (SPX) Oct 15, 2025 Scientists at MIT and elsewhere have discovered extremely rare remnants of "proto Earth," which formed about 4.5 billion years ago, before a colossal collision irreversibly altered the primitive pla ... more 
Stopping slime on Earth and in spaceTempe AZ (SPX) Oct 16, 2025 How do you prevent biofilms - large communities of bacteria like the slime on your teeth before you brush - from growing in water systems in space and on Earth? A multi-university research tea ... more 
The tiny droplets that bounce without burstingLausanne, Switzerland (SPX) Oct 21, 2025 If you've ever added liquid to a hot frying pan, maybe you noticed how the droplets bubbled up and skittered across the sizzling surface, rather than immediately flattening and wetting. This happens ... more 
Planet formation depends on when it happens: UNLV model shows whyLas Vegas NV (SPX) Oct 17, 2025 A new study led by UNLV scientists sheds light on how planets, including Earth, formed in our galaxy - and why the life and death of nearby stars are an important piece of the puzzle. In a pap ... more |
White dwarf binaries heated by intense tidal forces evolve faster than predictedTokyo, Japan (SPX) Oct 15, 2025 White dwarfs, the dense remnants of exhausted stars, are usually ancient, dim, and cool.
