Ancient rocks reveal how water helped shape the world
New Curtin-led research has revealed that water played a far bigger role than previously thought in shaping Earth's first continents, transforming the planet's early crust and helping to build the ...
Researchers resurrect extinct gene in plants with major implications for drug development
Northeastern University researchers resurrected an extinct plant gene, turning back the evolutionary clock to pave a path forward for the development and discovery of new drugs.
New evidence uncovers origin of 'ghost-arc signatures' in global mid-ocean ridge basalts
Mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), located far from subduction zones, are typically thought to be unaffected by subduction processes. However, some MORBs display arc-like geochemical ...
Disinformation damages democracy, but perhaps not in the way you think
Australia is heading to the polls on 3 May, and as we enter the campaign, the amount of misinformation we are exposed to is likely to increase.
Shrews shrink in winter to conserve energy, study finds
Newly published research from UNC Greensboro biology professor Dr. Bryan McLean and colleagues shows that the masked shrew, a small, mole-like mammal found in the Appalachian Mountains, shrinks its ...
