A Budapest research group has recorded brain activity in dogs and in people listening to the same speech and found that both species track the boundaries between words more closely when the cue is a…
Physicists in Paris drove a single vortex in a tank of water, resolved the helical ripples that travel along its thin core, and watched energy pass from long waves to short ones in resonant groups of…
Researchers have mapped the human face as it forms, cell by cell, across embryonic weeks 6 to 11, describing 56 distinct cell states. The atlas appeared on September 24 in Nature Genetics. The…

Five researchers say they forged digital signatures under a live 1,024-bit RSA key without ever recovering the key or the two prime numbers it is built from. Laura Shea and colleagues at UC San…
A team led by Maria Schönbächler of ETH Zurich reports that iron and titanium isotopes in samples of the asteroid Bennu are indistinguishable from those in samples of the asteroid Ryugu and in a rare…
Two physicists at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen report that letting neutrinos switch from one type to another as they stream out of a dying star changes which stars explode and which…
NASA published a radar time-lapse on Sept. 24 showing lava spreading from the northern crater of Krasheninnikov, a pair of volcanoes on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula. The 17 frames came from the…
Researchers have published an index that scores what people get from the ocean in 143 coastal countries and used it to project how those returns change under two emissions scenarios. The paper…
Carbon dioxide sticks to desert soil minerals as they cool at night and comes back off as they warm through the day, an exchange that involves no living thing at all, according to a study published…
A meltwater river on Greenland's Petermann Ice Shelf cut its bed below sea level in most summers from 2014 to 2018, letting seawater run inland to form an estuary that broke its link to the ocean…
Thawing ground in northwest Arctic Alaska is releasing acid and dissolved metals into the rivers that drain it, and the chemical signal carries far downstream, according to a survey of six watersheds…
