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 ...
Fast-paced urban growth, alongside reduced sediment delivery from dammed and heavily modified rivers, makes things even worse. To give just one example: in the Mississippi Delta, nearly 1,930 square ...
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 ...
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 ...
As these bursts travel billions of light-years through deep space, their different frequencies become jumbled and separated. When an FRB passes through ionized matter, lower-frequency radio waves lag ...
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 ...

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 ...
