Astronomers have captured the clearest picture yet of how massive stars are born, revealing a dramatic interplay between gravity and magnetic fields in some of our galaxy's most dynamic star forming ...

Tektites are natural glass formed from terrestrial debris falling back to Earth after a meteorite impact. Based on their distribution and chemical composition, researchers mapped out four large strewn ...

Understanding salt tectonics and salt geometry has always been important to petroleum exploration in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Initially, prospects were drilled almost exclusively above salt. Today, ...

In early 2025 the project completed a re-interpretation of high-resolution fixed-wing gravity and magnetic data. The new inversion models confirmed an ultramafic feeder between the Uitloop I and ...

The scientists chemically coated each graphite particle with a layer of electrically insulating silica. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) helps silica bind to the surface of the graphite. The coated graphite ...
