A team of astronomers has discovered some of the longest tails of gas yet observed escaping a planet

Our ancestors once thrived on cholesterols that are now just reaction intermediates.

Scientists tested frying under microgravity conditions created by sending a specially designed aircraft 20,000 feet above the ground and letting it descend rapidly.

The latest study by China's Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), has given the world its first understanding on multiple perspectives into the afterglow of what's been described as "the brightest-of-all-time gamma-ray burst."

An international team of researchers has identified a number of elusive exoplanets by developing a new technique that might find many more to come.

A variety of methalox rockets are approaching launch, with the United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) Vulcan…

Campi Flegrei has been in a “restless” period for about 70 years. Scientists say this modeling is the first in an attempt to forecast the rupture of an active volcano.

A study found that earthquakes and other movement has brought the volcano closer to the point of rupture.

Survey of nearly 13,000 Icelanders pinpoints for the first time a genetic variant that shapes whether a person’s voice sounds high.

'They have a significant number of launches to go, and that of course, gives me concern about the December of 2025 date.'

Water from the Pacific Ocean flows into the Indian Ocean via the Indonesia Archipelago thanks to a vast network of currents that act as a conveyor belt, transporting warmth and nutrients. Currents can sometimes form circular motions and these are known as edd…

Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes wouldn't last forever, eventually evaporating into a smear of particles. According to a new study, Hawking's theories don't go far enough.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have determined the atomic-level structure of a zinc-transporter protein, a molecular machine that regulates levels of this crucial trace metal micronutrient inside cells.

Scientists say that mountains with peaks three to four times higher than Mount Everest have been discovered deep inside the earth. Using seismology centres i...

Crew members aboard the International Space Station conducted scientific investigations during the week of June 5 that included measuring particles in the station’s air, using code written by students to control free-flying robots, and growing protein crystal…

This is the first time a highly ordered crystal of bosonic particles called excitons has been created in a real -- as opposed to synthetic -- matter system.

Paleontologists excavated the fossils in 2015 at a site called the Mussentuchit Member in southern Utah, said lead study author Lindsay Zanno, head of paleontology at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and an associate research professor in biologi…

June 9, 2023 — When we listen to our favorite song, what sounds like a continuous wave of music is actually transmitted as tiny packets of quantum particles called phonons. […]

NASA has raised concerns that problems with SpaceX's Starship rocket, if not fixed in time, could push the Artemis 3 launch window from December 2025 to 2026.

Chinese scientists have devised a technique to coat everyday materials like paper and plastic with liquid metal, potentially creating "smart devices." The method, which involves adjusting pressure rather than using a binding material, successfully enables the…

A new mosaic image released to celebrate 20 years of the Mars Express spacecraft shows the Red Planet as never seen before, revealing a multitude of features...

Celebrate 20 years of the Mars Express spacecraft with this incredible view of the Red Planet.

Whew. Now we don't need new physics.

Astronomers have detected a secondary supermassive black hole at the center of Galaxy OJ 287 thanks to a flare brighter than a trillion suns.
