But new research suggests a new player is making an impact: us. By studying foraminifera, tiny single-celled marine organisms that leave behind fossil shells, a team of researchers from the University ...

Scientists discover binary asteroids near Earth can trade rocks and dust through slow collisions, revealing clues about asteroid evolution.

Astronomers have collected evidence of a violent collision between two planets in a distant star system. The first clues of this cataclysmic event came when a rather boring star began behaving very ...

For Tauber, the VNCCII project is less about entertainment and more about elevation. “This is a call to remember,” she says. “To remember that imagination is sacred. To remember that we are made of ...
