The deep Earth contains vast mountain ranges with peaks up to four times the height of Everest. But no one knows why.

If disaster movies are to be believed (and why wouldn’t they be?) we’re always only one planetary temper tantrum away from total annihilation. The Earth has ...

New research uncovers novel findings regarding rare earth element (REE) isotopes through the utilization of high-resolution laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy-molecular laser-induced fluorescence (LIBS-MLIF) t…

We need solutions to the burgeoning problem of space debris. One team of researchers is developing a real-life 'tractor beam' to deal with it.

A new NASA animation puts the size of 10 supermassive black holes into perspective by comparing them to our solar system.

A new discovery hints that Neanderthals may have practiced chemistry, in addition to a long list of other accomplishments!

The digital age has been a tremendous boon to the fields of both statistics and astronomy. However, according to Dr. Max Bonamente, a professor of physics and astronomy at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), most astronomers are not sufficiently tr…

Studying radioactive materials is very difficult due to the potential health risks they pose to scientists. Expense is also a major barrier, with some radioisotopes costing more than $10,000 per microgram (or $10 billion per gram). Some radioisotopes cannot b…

Especially after the last few COVID-affected years, nobody doubts that emerging infectious diseases can threaten the whole world. But humans are not the only ones at risk. With intensive global trade, many tree parasites are accidently introduced to Europe in…

Researchers shed new light on our brain's ability to predict movement, aiding in seemingly simple tasks like grabbing a moving object.

It was the night the stars fell. In 1833, people scattered across North America witnessed a powerful celestial event that appeared downright apocalyptic.

Among the most fundamental questions in astronomy is: How did the first stars and galaxies form? NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is already providing new insights into this question. One of the largest programs in Webb's first year of science is the JWST Ad…

Apple Siri Update The command will allow users to ask questions to Siri without repeating the same phrase

Currently, James Webb Space Telescope is observing a series of galaxies to help humanity develop a better understanding of how stars are formed.

Daniel Lidar, the Viterbi Professor of Engineering at USC and Director of the USC Center for Quantum Information Science & Technology, and Dr. Bibek Pokharel, a Research Scientist at IBM Quantum, have achieved a quantum speedup advantage in the context of a "…

This moody image shows a galaxy named Messier 85, captured in all its delicate, hazy glory by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.

The best that current state-of-the-art synchrotron scanners can manage is to X-ray an attogram—about 10,000 atoms.

The latest campaign, known as O4, began on May 24.

So far, astrophysicists have only detected gravitational waves from binary systems—the mergers of either two black holes, two neutron stars or one of each. Although astrophysicists theoretically should be able to detect gravitational waves from a single, non-…

A recent study revealed that radiography works particularly well with the sulphur minerals that form fossils in the Norwegian archipelago.In the study published in the journal PLOS ONE, X-ray...

Researchers have detected complex organic molecules in a galaxy more than 12 billion light-years away from Earth—the most distant galaxy in which these molecules are now known to exist. Thanks to the capabilities of the recently launched James Webb Space Tele…
