Once they managed to find the opening and reach the fault, the real work began: drilling into the oceanic trench and installing geophysical measurement devices. There’s still much to learn from these ...

The most affected deltas are in Thailand, Indonesia, and China, with average subsidence rates nearing 0.31 inches (8 millimeters) per year. This double burden—shrinking land combined with rising ...

For dogs that dread every summer, the treatment vets actually recommend is desensitization and counterconditioning: playing firework recordings very quietly while offering treats, then very gradually ...

With the tectonic puzzle pieces now mostly in place, you might think things are stable. Not so fast! Tectonic plates never really rest. As researcher Asier Madarieta from the University of the Basque ...

To document this invisible gas, scientists rely on a dramatic cosmic phenomenon known as a fast radio burst (FRB). These powerful explosions unleash immense amounts of radio energy in just a few ...

These numbers mark a turning point. Nutrients now originate not just from the ocean itself (upwelling, vertical mixing), but also from land—from agricultural runoff, wastewater discharges, and even ...

The candidate pair resides inside Abell 402-BCG, a galaxy located an estimated 4.4 billion light years from Earth. In 2018, astronomers first noticed an unusual feature at the galaxy’s center: a dark, ...

New research is shedding light on an unexpected link between the human intestine and the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. A growing body of evidence points to a powerful connection between our gut ...

The Futura Team represents the pulse of Futura’s editorial department, bringing together a collective expertise dedicated to the dissemination of scientific knowledge. Rather than the work of a single ...

For nearly a century, astronomers have studied the lifecycles and collapses of large stars. Modern astrophysics began categorizing these events in the 1930s. Researchers Fritz Zwicky and Walter Baade ...

“Gravitational atoms”—envelopes of ultra-light particles—could form around rotating black holes, acting like electrons orbiting the nucleus of an atom. A team from the University of Amsterdam and ...
