A group of bio-engineers at Philips Research has developed a tiny magnetic tracking and sensing device that uses magneto-mechanical resonators to provide feedback. In their study, reported in the journal Science, Bernhard Gleich, Ingo Schmale, Tim Nielsen and…

For around a week in April, scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory searched anxiously for signs of life on Mars. Lost somewhere in the undulating...

For the first time ever, scientists have witnessed a process called planetary engulfment, in a star system some 12,000 light years away.

The outer planets' clouds hide the weirdness within.

Horizontal structures, up to 10 light years in length, appear to point in direction of galaxy’s black hole

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers are gaining new insights into Enceladus, which holds a sea beneath its icy surface.

Examining langurs and odd-nosed monkeys provided scientists with evidence that social behaviours, such as extended care by mothers, evolved by adapting to live...

Scientists have warned that there should be a strict time limit on missions to Mars

Mars and Venus, Summer Stars, and the June Solstice! The planets of war and love draw nearer each night, as the bright stars of Northern Hemisphere summer rise. And note the June solstice on the 21st. https://youtu.be/fYNWZPGj5NM What are some skywatching hig…

Stephen Hawking was right about black holes, although not completely.

Iron-rich nanoparticles can catalyse conversion of CO2 to complex organic molecules

The jellyfish galaxy JW39 hangs serenely in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This galaxy lies over 900 million light-years away in the co...

Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space telescope recently discovered a plume jetting out from the south pole of Saturn’s moon Enceladus and exte...

This video highlights two views of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 5068 as seen by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxy’s bright central bar ...

The food we eat determines how we feel, and nothing beats a good fry-up, although in moderation of course. As we prepare for missions to the Moon and on to Mars, astronauts will be happy to hear from researchers that one staple comfort food is not out of reac…

The small, distant galaxy JD1 is typical of the kind that burned through hydrogen left over from the Big Bang.

New research finds that a warming climate could flip globally abundant microbial communities from carbon sinks to carbon emitters, potentially triggering climate change tipping points

Nature-based solutions are an effective tool to combat climate change triggered by rising carbon emissions, whether it's by clearing the skies with bio-based aviation fuels or boosting natural carbon sinks

During the planet's transit behind its star and subsequent reappearance, the James Webb Space Telescope detected water vapor in its atmosphere.

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

Researchers at Radboud University have found new particles can be created far beyond the event horizon of black holes. The Michael Wondrak, Walter van Suijlekom, and Heino Falcke study combined techniques from physics, astronomy and mathematics to examine wha…

Four people will cohabitate in a small prototype Martian dwelling, mimicking the isolation and stresses of life on the Red Planet.

The majority of fish populations in the sea are responding to global warming by relocating towards colder waters nearer the north and south poles, according ...
