Now buzzing and whizzing around every continent, insects were mysteriously scarce in the fossil record until 325 million years ago – when they first took flight and, according to a new study, evolutionarily took off.
Particle physics and computer science have been intertwined since at least the 1960s. Now, scientists are using cutting-edge machine-learning techniques to investigate the phantom particles called neutrinos.
Two of the most rapidly changing glaciers in Antarctica, which are leading contributors to sea-level rise, may behave as an interacting system rather than separate entities, according to a new analysis of radar data.
