A new law in Vermont — the first of its kind in the U.S. — will require fossil fuel companies to pay for a share of the costs of extreme weather fueled by climate change. A new law in Vermont — the first of its kind in the U.S. — will require fossil fuel companies to…
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have obtained the spectrum of JADES-GS-z14-0, a record-breaking galaxy observed only 290 million years after the Big Bang. The post Webb Discovers Most Distant Galaxy So Far appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News. Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have obtained the spectrum of…
If matter falls into one end of a wormhole, it could heat up in a tornado of plasma hot enough to initiate nuclear fusion – and come blasting out the other end If matter falls into one end of a wormhole, it could heat up in a tornado of plasma hot enough to initiate nuclear fusion…

Stromatolites are the earliest geological record of life on Earth. These curious biotic structures are made of algae carpets growing toward the light and precipitating carbonates. After their first appearance 3.48 Ga ago, stromatolites dominated the planet as the sole living carbonate factory for almost three billion years. Stromatolites are the earliest geological record of life…
Biomarkers are small molecules of interest to researchers, because they can indicate underlying diseases, often even before symptoms even appear. However, detecting these markers can be challenging as they are often present in very low quantities, especially in the early stages of a disease. Traditional detection methods, while effective, usually require expensive components like prisms,…
