Somewhere, out there, lurking in the Universe, is a whole bunch of matter we haven't been able to find. And it's not a trivial amount, either. Roughly 70 to 80 percent of all mass is considered to be the mysterious stuff known as dark matter. Normal matter makes up the minority. That's everything we can detect – all the stars, planets, black holes, dust, gas, moons, people.

A Glow in Jupiter's Night Could Be The Smoking Gun Signal For Dark Matter

There's a new contender for the worst tipple handed down to us by history. In the ancient Roman necropolis of Carmo in what is now Spain, archaeologists have unearthed a jar of wine, still sealed, and still sloshing liquid after about 2,000 years. There's just one catch. The wine was...

 Saturn has its famous hexagon, and  Jupiter has just now been caught throwing mad shapes too.
High up in its atmosphere, astronomers have identified strange, glowing new features, in the region above the tempestuous Great Red Spot.



					
			

There, in the ionosphere, concentrations of ionized hydrogen cause a near-infrared glow in arcs, bands, and spots that suggest the wild planet is far wilder than we even suspected.
"We thought this region, perhaps naively, would be really boring," says planetary scientist Henrik Melin of the University of Leicester in the UK. "It is in fact just as interesting as the northern lights, if...

Every now and again, serendipity gives us a unique window into times long past.
An explosive volcanic eruption that took place in prehistory is one of them. As the ash from a pyroclastic flow during the Cambrian age was dumped on a shallow marine environment, its population of ancient arthropods called trilobites were preserved almost instantly – including any soft tissues that are normally degraded or destroyed during other fossilization processes.



					
			

Now, hundreds of millions of years later, those unfortunate animals have given us an unprecedented record of their three-dimensional anatomy, along with any smaller creatures that happened to be clinging to...

In our rapidly expanding Universe, the lives of stars follow well-worn tracks, fusing hydrogen and then helium before swelling in size until they exhaust their nuclear fuels and collapse, no longer able to resist the force of gravity. But some stars in the innermost region of our Milky Way, very...

Researchers have discovered how a cell surface protein called Aplp1 can play a role in spreading material responsible for  Parkinson's disease from cell-to-cell in the brain.
Promisingly, an FDA-approved  cancer drug that targets another protein called Lag3 – which interacts with Aplp1 – blocks the spread in mice, suggesting a potential therapy may already exist.



					
			

In a new paper, an international team of scientists describes how the two proteins work together to help harmful alpha-synuclein protein clumps get into brain cells.
"Now that we know how Aplp1 and Lag3 interact, we have a new way of understanding how alpha-synuclein contributes to...

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
