This week’s Sci-five quiz is on eusociality
The return of Indian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams and her NASA peer Barry Wilmore to Earth from space has been indefinitely delayed. Here’s why.
Helium leaks and thruster failures almost derailed their arrival at the International Space Station, and has kept them there much longer than planned
The Koyna-Warna region has been experiencing recurrent earthquakes since the Koyna Dam was impounded in 1962
The flight deployed three sets of micro-satellites for research purposes, prompting European space officials to declare the maiden trip a success

Some countries, however, voiced concern that allowing the World Bank to host would give donors too much influence
Infusing soil with silica nanoparticles made using the technique could transform agriculture
Age data for certain classes of meteorite have made it possible to gain new findings on the origin of small water-rich astronomical bodies in the early solar system. These planetesimals continually supplied building materials for planets -- also for the Earth, whose original material contained little water. The Earth received its actual water through planetesimals, which emerged at low temperatures in the outer solar system, as shown by computational models carried out by an international research teach with participation by earth scientists.
The United States has lost its only stand of the massive Key Largo tree cactus in what researchers believe is the first local extinction of a species caused by sea level rise in the country.
A type of extinct kangaroo that lived during the Pleistocene around two and a half million to ten thousand years ago, known as the 'giant wallaby', was a poor hopper, a study has found.
The ability to recognize and respond to emotionally-charged situations is essential to a species' evolutionary success. A new study advances our understanding of how the brain responds to emotionally charged objects and scenes.
New research has found a drug that treats insomnia works to prevent the addictive effects of the morphine opioids in mice while still providing effective pain relief.
Researchers were involved in the development of a switch, an essential device in telecommunications, capable of operating at very high frequency with lower power consumption than conventional technologies. The technology has applications in the new 6G mass communication systems and is more sustainable in terms of energy consumption than current devices.
A newly discovered ancestor of Thescelosaurus shows evidence that these animals spent at least part of their time in underground burrows. The new species contributes to a fuller understanding of life during the mid-Cretaceous -- both above and below ground.
Successful applicants will gain access to remove's network of experts and international buyers, and could be eligible for additional funding
