Scientists used the Webb Telescope identified water vapor in the atmosphere of WASP-18 b, and made a temperature map of the planet as it slipped behind, and reappeared from, its star.

Pretraining on a large data set gives model insight into how genes interact.

Detailed atomic models of axonemes from algal flagella and human respiratory cilia, which are hair-like protrusions from cells that enable motility and clear mucus from human airways, could provide insights into how they function.

The cycles of laser light have been used to advance transmission electron microscopy to attosecond time resolution, revealing the interactions between light and matter in terms of their fundamental dimensions in space and time.

Rare earth elements, like neodymium and dysprosium, are a critical component to almost all modern technologies, from smartphones to hard drives, but they are notoriously hard to separate from the Earth's crust and from one another.

In microbial electrosynthesis, microorganisms use CO2 and electricity to produce alcohol, for example. How this process works biologically, however, has only been speculated about, until now. Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research a…

New research reveals that one-third of planets orbiting M dwarf stars, the most common type of star in the Milky Way, could potentially host liquid water and life as we know it.

A new theoretical model reveals an excess of massive galaxies, in contrast to previously accepted theories.

Starliner's Crew Flight Test to the International Space Station is scheduled to lift off on July 21.

Biomicrofluidics is pleased to announce Sumin Lee as the winner of its 2022 Best Paper award. An expert panel of judges selected Lee for her significant contrib

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a pair of researchers from the University of Florida (UF) examine orbital eccentricities for exoplanets orbiting red dwarf (M dwarf) stars and determined that one-third of them—w…

Using the AstroSat spacecraft and the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) onboard the International Space Station (ISS), Indian astronomers have observed an X-ray binary known as GX 349+2. Results of the observational campaign, published May 24…

The JW39 is a jellyfish galaxy that is over 900 million light-years away. It looks beautiful, but it is in a brutal environment where it is losing its gas and stars to other galaxies.

Here's how to watch the Red Planet swoop across the Beehive Cluster — one of the closest star clusters to Earth — after sunset this week.

The average distance between the Earth and Sun measured using trigonometry is 93 million miles, not 3,000 miles as claimed in a viral post online.

In a move that would certainly gladden the science lovers, the United Arab Emirets (UAE) is planning to send a spacecraft to explore the solar system’s main asteroid belt in order to unearth clues about the origins of life on Earth.

Every around the globe, hundreds of stone artifacts enthusiasts dedicate their time to striking stones with specialized tools, striving to fashion flawless arrowheads or knives. This endeavor, known as flintknapping, is seen by many as an intricate pastime or…

Even without nerves, plants can sense when something touches them and when it lets go, a Washington State University-led study has found.

Astronomers are looking for something else in this cluster that is much more elusive than its densely packed stars.
