The bright, red star Betelgeuse in the constellation Orion has shown some unexpected behavior. In late 2019 and 2020 it became fainter than we had ever seen it—at least in records going back more than a century. Briefly it became fainter (just about) than Bel…

A recent discovery of organic compounds in billion-year-old ancient rocks in Australia helps illuminate the early history of eukaryotes, according to a new study.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has flown close enough to the Sun to detect the fine structure of the solar wind close to where it is generated at the solar surface, revealing details that are lost as the wind exits the solar corona as a uniform blast of charged pa…

In a study published in Nature Astronomy, a team of researchers from the University of Naples "Federico II," the University of Wroclaw, and the University of Bergen examined a quantum-gravity model of particle propagation in which the speed of ultrarelativist…

Moon has a significant impact on earth as it causes the oceans on our planet to form tides. But a new research study has revealed a phenomenal influence the moon has on earth’s oceans. The study mentioned that earthquakes have happened in the past due to the …

This might be the all-purpose helper that assists future astronauts on their journey to places unknown.

Venus has been steadily approaching the Beehive Cluster for weeks and will appear just above it in the night's sky from Monday to Wednesday this week.

Internet rules the world. It is as essential as bread butter to human beings today. People cannot think about even a couple of hours without the internet. Imagine days and years without it. Scientists have warned about the potential impact of an upcoming sola…

Earthquakes and ground movements have been increasing over the last several years.

He’s done it again, outdoing even his own incredible work. Over the years, we’ve written many articles to share the beautiful and mind-bending astrophotography of Thierry Legault. Each year he seems to come up with ideas to try to surpass even his own crazies…

Magnetosheath jets on Earth are plasma entities that have a higher dynamic pressure surrounding the plasma and can cause waves that transfer energy within such environments. Such jets also exist beyond Earth in the magnetosheath of Mars, as observed by Herber…

Astonshingly, the length of the day may have been determined by the amount of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere, in turn determined by the abundance of photosynthesizing organisms.

This study introduces a new multiplexed fluorescence in situ hybridization method, PHYTOMap, that enables single-cell and spatial analysis of gene expression in whole-mount plant tissue in a transgene-free manner and at low cost.

Planets that orbit two stars was until recently thought to be in the realm of science fiction. Now experts at the University of Birmingham announce the discovery of one such planet, called TOI-1338 c.

Neuroscientist and author Bobby Azarian explores the idea that the Universe is a self-organizing system that evolves and learns.

The team emphasizes that modular design and multi-functional abilities may be advantageous for space travel applications.

The study reveals how a group of plant compounds that build up in the retina, known as macular pigments, work to improve eye health and functional vision.

Abstract. We present a search and characterization of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Frontier Fields cluster Abell 2744 at z = 0.308. We use JWST/NIRISS F

Few phrases are as evocative as “tidal locking,” also known as 1:1 spin-orbit resonance. Put simply, this is the condition wherein the time it takes a world to rotate around its axis is the same as…

A group of space scientists from the University of Southern Queensland, the University of Victoria, the University of Warwick and the Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research discovered a white dwarf star that appears to be in the beginning stages …

With the help of “kagome materials,” a brand-new class of quantum materials, a multidisciplinary research team has successfully measured the electron spin in the matter for the first time, that is, the curvature of space in which electrons reside and flow.

In this video, the Institute of Human Anatomy takes us inside the human eye (literally), using a dissected eyeball from a cadaver.
