A recent study suggests that supernova explosions, triggered by the death of early stars, could have created significant amounts of water just 100 million years after the Big Bang. Simulations of these early, massive stars show that their explosive deaths may have resulted in the formation of water molecules within the dense hydrogen and oxygen clo...

Here's How Environmental and Physical Traits Shape Bird Sounds Across Habitats
A global study of over 100,000 bird sound recordings reveals how environmental and physical factors shape bird communication. Birds adapt their calls in response to habitat noise, with species in noisy areas producing higher-pitched sounds for better visibility. Physical traits like body size and beak shape also play a significant role in sound fre...
