The same researchers behind the 13-sided "hat" shape have stumbled upon a version that improves upon the original in a very important way.

Analysis showed that this seemingly loyal rock had been by our side since at least 100 BC, and will continue to do so until at least 3700, making it the Earth’s most stable quasi-satellite found to date.

Chinese scientists at IMP and CAS witness the collective flow of hypernuclei in heavy-ion collisions, opening doors to explore Y-N interactions in dense nuclear

Astronomers have been working to better understand the galactic environments of fast radio bursts (FRBs) – intense, momentary bursts of energy occurring in mere milliseconds and with unknown cosmic origins.

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory successfully used the world's most powerful laser to simulate and study pressure-driven ionization, a process vital to understanding the structure of planets and stars. The research revealed unexpected prop…

Stone Age humans may have made extended maritime voyages on the Caspian Sea, according to a new study published in the journal Open Archaeology.

The Breakthrough Listen Investigation for Periodic Spectral Signals (BLIPSS), led by Akshay Suresh, Cornell doctoral candidate in astronomy, is pioneering a search for periodic signals emanating from the core of our galaxy, the Milky Way. The research aims to…

A pollen grain showing the nanofoam within or a diatom with the individual geometric structures inside clearly visible: Using high-energy X-rays from the PETRA III synchrotron light source at DESY, a team led by CFEL scientists Saša Bajt and Henry Chapman has…

Exoplanets that form beyond their solar system's 'soot line' can have far more carbon than Earth. What does that mean for life?

The new sunspot is 4 times the size of Earth.

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is shrinking, with many glaciers across the region retreating and melting at an alarming rate. However, this was not always the case according to new research published last month (April 28) in The Cryosphere.

The new heat shield is called Pridwen, named after the shield donned by King Arthur.

UNITED STATES: A groundbreaking study conducted by a team of U.S. astronomers has revealed that approximately one-third of the planets orbiting M dwarfs, commonly known as red dwarf stars, may reside within the coveted habitable zone. This discovery could hav…

A lunar registry would help coordinate our increasingly crowded space environment—before it’s too late.

Thanks to data from a magnified supernova, a team led by University of Minnesota researchers has successfully used a first-of-its-kind technique to measure the expansion rate of the Universe. Their data provide insight into a longstanding debate in t

An international team of astronomers, astrophysicists and cosmologists, has found evidence of galaxy M64's outer disk originating from a smaller, nearby, dwarf galaxy. The team has written a paper describing their findings that has been accepted for publicati…

A University of Minnesota-led team has developed a first-of-its-kind, breakthrough method that makes it easier to create high-quality metal oxide thin films out of “stubborn” metals that have historically been difficult to synthesize in an atomically

Astronomers discovered only relatively recently that black hole jets emit X-rays, and how the jets accelerate particles to this high-energy state is a mystery.

Legend has it Pythagoras himself designed this little practical joke.

High school student Pristine Onuoha— winner of the Genes in Space 2022 competition— designed her investigation to use microgravity for Earth-based benefits.

The spacecraft is now in full flight configuration after six weeks in space.

Researchers at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen and colleagues in Germany have taken a closer look at the birch tar used to affix Neanderthal tools and found a much more complex technique for creating the adhesive than previously considered.
