Scientists have detected a layer of melted rock encircling the Earth below its tectonic plates. Patches of the layer were known to exist, but a new study by a group of universities including Cornell has for the first time revealed its global extent.
In the course of experiments to test how well commercial bumblebees pollinate early spring crops, researchers made a surprising discovery: dead wild bumblebee queens in the hives, an average of 10 per nest box.

The structure of light-harvesting antennas in a species of cyanobacteria is revealed, yielding insights into energy transfer mechanisms during photosynthesis
For the first time, researchers have been able capture images providing unprecedented details of how particles behave in a liquid suspension when the phenomenon known as shear thickening takes place.
Any writer can tell you that who is narrating a story makes a significant difference to the audience.
Snakes rank among Americans’ top animal phobias, and are among the most disliked animals globally.
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new process that makes use of existing industry standard techniques for making III-nitride semiconductor materials, but results in layered materials that will make LEDs and lasers more efficient.
An often overlooked feature could give scientists new insight into the lives of ancient primate species.
A new systematic review and meta-analysis by an international group of researchers has found giving a blood thinning drug (thrombolysis) before treatment to remove a clot from the brain - known as thrombectomy procedure - to stroke patients,
Early Jurassic ichthyosaur juveniles show predatory specialisations, scientists at the University of Bristol have revealed.
People at risk of heart disease are more likely to be prescribed relevant medications if they see the same GP over time (known as continuity of care) but not more likely to take their medications (known as adherence), according to researchers at the University of Bristol.
Bristol-led team uses nanomaterials made from seaweed to create a strong battery separator, paving the way for greener and more efficient energy storage.
Early cognitive decline may result from a shift in the ratio of a protein sub-type in our brain cells triggering cell-loss.
