Plasma is a state of matter that emerges when a gas is heated to sufficiently high temperatures, prompting some electrons to become free from atoms. This state of matter has been the focus of many astrophysical studies, as ...
An international study led by researchers at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil has identified a little-known but potentially significant threat: Asteroids that share Venus's orbit and may completely escape current ...

For the last century, Émile Argand's theory on the formation and geological support system of the massive Himalayan mountain range has remained the predominant explanation widely accepted among geologists. This theory states ...
During 2024, onlookers observed a startling sight on China's Qiantang River: waves forming a grid-like pattern. Dubbed the "matrix tide," this complex wave pattern was caused by the river's famed tidal bores that surge upstream ...
