Phillip Cleves used genome editing tools to determine that a particular gene is required for young coral colonies to begin building their skeletons. Baltimore, MD—New work led by Carnegie’s Phillip ...

Although volcano-tectonic (VT) earthquakes often occur in response to magma intrusion, it is rare for them to have magnitudes larger than similar to M4. On 24 May 2007, two shallow M4+ earthquakes ...

Agriculture accounts for 12% of global annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (7.1 Gt CO2 equivalent), primarily through non-CO2 emissions, namely methane (54%), nitrous oxide (28%), and carbon dioxide ...

Hubble Space Telescope images of the galaxy cluster A2261, obtained as part of the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble, show that the brightest galaxy in the cluster, A2261-BCG, has the ...

Cosmochemistry is the study of the formation and early evolution of our Solar System, of meteorites and asteroids, and larger bodies like Mars, Mercury, and the Moon. At the Earth and Planets ...

Synthesis centers are a form of scientific organization that catalyzes and supports research that integrates diverse theories, methods and data across spatial or temporal scales to increase the ...

Supernova driven winds are often invoked to remove chemically enriched gas from dwarf galaxies to match their low observed metallicities. In such shallow potential wells, outflows may produce massive ...

We measure the velocity dispersion, sigma, and surface density, Sigma, of the molecular gas in nearby galaxies from CO spectral line cubes with spatial resolution 45-120. pc, matched to the size of ...

Mercury has a compositionally diverse surface exhibiting geochemical terranes that represent different periods of igneous activity, suggesting diverse mantle source compositions. Mercury's juvenile ...

A series of localized high-temperature granulite-facies domains ('hot spots') are present within the regional (10-100km(2) scale) amphibolite-facies rocks of the Central Maine Terrane in central New ...

We analyze the recent thorium detection in the metal-poor halo star CS 22892-052. Sneden et al. have demonstrated that all of the stable elements with Z greater than or equal to 56, including those ...
