Jay-yi Nah is an underwater archaeological site dating to the Early Classic Maya period (250-600 CE) that focused on salt production for local use or perhaps local production for down-the-line trading.

Marine biologists at Queensland Museum Kurilpa have described a new species of hermit crab, Strigopagurus fragarchela (common name is the strawberry-clawed hermit), from the continental shelf off south‑east Queensland, Australia. Strigopagurus fragarchela.

A new genus and species of ankylosaur has been identified from an articulated and partial skeleton found in 1986 in southern China. The artistic reconstruction of Huaxiazhoulong shouwen.

An accurate description of low-density nuclear matter is crucial for explaining the physics of neutron star crusts, according to a team of theoretical physicists led by Argonne National Laboratory’s Dr. Alessandro Lovato. Fore et al. study neutron star crusts by simulating neutron matter then adding ‘hidden’ neutrons to mediate interactions between ‘real’ neutrons; next, neural
When NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Uranus in 1986, it provided scientists’ first close glimpse of this ice-giant planet. Alongside the discovery of new moons and rings, baffling new mysteries confronted the scientists: the energized particles around Uranus defied their understanding of how magnetic fields work to trap particle radiation. According to a new

Latest The generation capacity of the project has been increased from 50GW to 70GW. Image: Carnegie. Plans to develop the Western Green Energy Hub (WGEH), a 70GW solar and wind mega-project, have progressed with the project having been submitted to Western Australia’s Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) for approval. This would mark a key milestone in
