Dante Lauretta, the principal investigator for the NASA OSIRIS-REx mission, explores these issues in his new book, "The Asteroid Hunter: A Scientist's Journey to the Dawn of our Solar System' The impact hazard is one of them, but it's also a treasure trove of scientific information from the early solar system. ABC NEWS LIVE: We definitely should be tracking this object, and we will continue to do that in the future

The museum of Science and Industry will launch an online site devoted to these unseen treasures from the institution's permanent collection. In the 90 years since Chicago's Museum of Science & Industry first opened its doors in late 1933, the institution has hosted more than 190 million people. The permanent exhibits include present-day favorites, like the full-sized German World War II sub, the Coal Mine, Colleen Moore&#X27's Fairy Castle, an elaborate dollhouse created by

The giant vortex mimics black holes so well that it could unlock huge possibilities in black hole research. Essentially, while a regular tornado rips up and circulates trees and houses, a quantum tornado circulates atoms and particles. To get the tornado to mimic a black hole, researchers had to use helium in its ‘superfluid’ state – meaning it had low viscosity and could flow without any resistance. This led them to discover that the tiny waves on the liquid’s

Scientists have discovered a never-before-seen species of "ghost shark's head, giant, iridescent eyes and feathery fins in the depths of the Andaman Sea off the coast of Thailand. Chimaera supapae is a cartilaginous fish in the order of the oldest fishes alive today. These ancient fish are distant relatives of sharks and rays.

Scientists found tiny bits of volcanic glass from Toba buried alongside ancient arrowheads and fossilized remains of animals that were bygone meals. In the new study, scientists found that humans shifted their diets in the extremely arid conditions that followed the eruption in the lowlands of Ethiopia. They found the eggs were beyond the range of reliable carbon dating — more than 45,000 years old.

Since the war began in February 2022, the conflict has damaged or destroyed 1,443 science-related buildings and over 750 pieces of essential scientific equipment. Repairing the damage will cost Ukraine $1.26 billion, a majority of which must go toward restoring universities. In addition to causing infrastructure damage, the war has led to a diversion of scientific funding. The National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine has had its budget halved by the government since 2021.

Students are programming robots to help K–12 schools. Some schools are taking the lessons further, having students work on simulated or real IT equipment to teach them technology skills. Other schools might work with the computer science teacher to build the program from the ground up.

Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is one of two primary solar radiation modification methods being proposed to offset the worst effects of global warming while decarbonization advances. MCB proposals involve the injection of salt spray into shallow marine clouds to brighten them, increasing their reflection of sunlight and reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the water below. A group of 31 leading atmospheric scientists are now offering a consensus physical science research roadmap.

Noctis Labyrinthus is a volcanic witness to most of the Red Planet’s multi-billion-year history. It is almost 30,000 feet tall (a little higher that Everest) and perhaps 280 miles long at its base. The work has yet to be peer-reviewed, but those who saw the presentation are skeptical.
