Play is a widespread behavior present in distant species that, in its social form, relies on complex communication. Playful communication has been largely neglected in marine mammals. In new research, scientists from the University of Pisa and colleagues focused on playful visual communication in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). “We’ve uncovered the presence of a distinct
Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) (FSE: 7FJ) (“QI Materials”, “QIMC” or the “Company”)– QIMC is pleased to announce a significant 11 km expansion of our natural renewable hydrogen discovery to the northwest. Recent soil gas measurements from Line 13, recorded at 594, 543, and 463 ppm, are the highest levels detected outside of those reported
First announced in 2022, the hub was powered by a combination of grid-connected electricity, local solar PV power plants, and wind farms. It was to be developed on Koorgang Island, north of Newcastle, New South Wales. Origin hoped hydrogen would gradually replace natural gas as a feedstock in nearby ammonia manufacturing and be used for
A new genus and species of silesaurid being named Gondwanax paraisensis has been identified from the fossilized remains discovered in Southern Brazil. Gondwanax paraisensis. Image credit: Rodrigo Temp Müller, doi: 10.1016/j.gr.2024.09.007. Silesauridae are an extinct group of Triassic reptiles related to dinosaurs. These creatures had a fairly long neck and legs, and possibly quadrupedal habits.
TIC 290061484 contains a pair of stars orbiting each other every 1.8 days, and a third star that circles the pair in just 25 days. The discovery smashes the record for shortest outer orbital period for this type of system, set by Lambda Tauri in 1956, which had a third star orbiting an inner pair
In August 2024, ESA’s JUpiter ICy Moons Explorer (JUICE) made history with a daring Moon-Earth flyby and double gravity assist maneuver. As the spacecraft zipped past our Moon and home planet, NASA’s Jovian Energetic Neutrals and Ions (JENI) instrument onboard JUICE captured the sharpest-ever image of Earth’s radiation belts — swaths of charged particles trapped
Mount Everest, also known as Chomolungma in Tibetan or Sagarmāthā in Nepali, is about 15 to 50 m taller than it would otherwise be because of uplift caused by a nearby eroding river gorge, and continues to grow because of it, according to new research. Han et al. found that erosion from a river network
The new image of the Rosette Nebula was taken by the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), mounted on NSF’s Víctor M. Blanco 4-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, a Program of NOIRLab. Cradled within the fiery petals of the Rosette Nebula is NGC 2244, the young star cluster which it nurtured. Image credit:
NASA’s Webb Space Telescope has identified new clues about the surface of Pluto’s largest moon. It detected for the first time traces of carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide on Charon's surface. Previous research, including a 2015 NASA flyby, showed that Charon's surface was coated by water ice...
Using data from the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have detected carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on the frozen surface of Pluto’s moon Charon. Their findings provide new insights into the chemical processes and surface composition of Charon, which could help us understand the origin and evolution
While different institutions are making the case for hydrogen production offshore or in proximity to the coast, the European Commission is preparing to move forward with its second hydrogen auction. October 1, 2024 Sergio Matalucci The European Commission published the final terms and conditions (T&Cs) for its second auction for renewable hydrogen (IF24 Auction )
