A Chinese submersible has discovered thousands of worms and molluscs nearly 10 kilometres (six miles) below sea level in the Mariana Trench, the deepest colony of creatures ever observed, a study revealed on Wednesday. The discovery in Earth's deepest underwater valley suggests that there could be much more life thriving in the hostile conditions at the bottom of our planet's largely unexplo

A new study of the Sagittarius C region in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone has revealed a detailed portrait of the galactic magnetic field, offering fresh insight into how dense gas clouds, star formation, and high-energy particles interact at the heart of our galaxy. Sagittarius C, a complex star-forming zone within a dense cloud ring near the Galactic Center, has long intrigued as

A team of physicists from the University of Sao Paulo (USP) in Brazil has introduced a new theoretical framework that could advance the search for dark matter by focusing on inelastic particles that interact with ordinary matter through a novel type of force carrier. Their study, published in the Journal of High Energy Physics, proposes a model involving a massive vector boson that enables inter

If there are people and trends that are currently shaping the world, it would have to be the new President of the USA, Donald Trump, and his trusted advisor, billionaire inventor and entrepreneur, Elon Musk. Musk's SpaceX company is another big name everyone knows, and so is Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency. But how are they connected, and why do they depend on each other for success and a sa

Rather than completely burning up when a spacecraft reenters Earth's atmosphere, its heat shield's outer surface is sacrificed to protect the rest of the vehicle. The carbon fibers decompose, dissipating the heat. It was assumed that this only happens on the surface, but in a recent study, researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and four othe
