A Rutgers-led team of scientists has uncovered evidence of how galaxies expand by tracing the invisible scaffolding of the universe created by a mysterious substance known as dark matter.
In a newly published study in Astrophysical Journal Letters, researchers used what they said are the largest-ever samples of special galaxies called Lyman-alpha emitters to study how galaxies clumped together over billions of years. In doing so, they gained an improved understanding of how galaxies relate to the surrounding dark matter and how they evolve over time.
One of the great challenges of ecology is to understand the factors that maintain, or undermine, diversity in ecosystems, researchers write in a new report in the journal Science. The researchers detail their development of a new model that — using a tree census and genomic data collected from multiple species in a forest — can predict future fluctuations in the relative abundance of those species.
A new study led by Boston University marine biologists reveals that heat waves are threatening the future of the fish made famous by Finding Nemo
Researchers discovered the earliest instance in which fish took advantage of their gill bones to make a new innovation in the way they eat. A fish called Platyomus evolved a toothy, tongue-like apparatus used to bite food 310 million years ago.
MIT physicists have put forth a strong theoretical case that a recently detected highly energetic neutrino may have been the product of a primordial black hole exploding outside our solar system.

Tiny solid particles – like pollutants, cloud droplets and medicine powders – form highly concentrated clusters in turbulent environments like smokestacks, clouds and pharmaceutical mixers. What causes these extreme clusters – which make it more difficult to predict everything from the spread of wildfire smoke to finding the right combination of ingredients for more effective drugs – has puzzled scientists. A new University at Buffalo study, published Sept. 19 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests the answer lies within the electric forces between particles.
