The new maps show that the seafloor under Store Glacier, shown here, is almost 2,000 feet (600 meters) deeper than previously thought.

This illustration shows a star surrounded by a protoplanetary disk.

Thin, flexible neural electrode arrays with fully bioresorbable construction based on patterned silicon nanomembranes (Si NMs) as the conducting component.

An image of two coalescing water droplets. The figure to the left shows a snapshot from a molecular dynamics simulation, where the small dots represent water molecules. The figure to the right illustrates the interface transfer coefficient for heat transfer, where the blue color means that the resistance to transfer is large. It is difficult to transport heat into or out of the region where the two droplets merge.

The large (peanut shell)-shaped bulge at the centre of the disc galaxy NGC 128.

Britain’s businesses are being urged to better protect themselves from cyber criminals after government research into cyber security found two thirds of large businesses experienced a cyber breach or attack in the past year.

The gravitational pull of Saturn changes the amount of particles spraying from the south pole of Saturn's active moon Enceladus at different points in its orbit. More particles make the plume appear much brighter in the infrared image at left.

U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) engineers in the Space Robotics Laboratory (SRL) demonstrate end-to-end robotic servicing rehearsals of the Front-end Robotics Enabling Near-term Demonstration (FREND) robotic arm using a remote ground station and operator to simulate on-orbit robotics.

Using a layer of molybdenum disulfide less than one nanometer thick, researchers in Rice University's Thomann lab were able to design a system that absorbed more than 35 percent of incident light in the 400- to 700-nanometer wavelength range.

A method of manufacturing of containers and their nano-structure depending on the temperature.
