Faye Flam BLOOMBERG – It’s still something of a mystery that a mouse lives only a year or two, a dog maybe 12, and a human about 80. Researchers disagree about the causes for such stark differences in longevity. Finding the answer might point to new strategie…
Can a computer learn from the past and anticipate what will happen next, like a human? You might not be surprised to hear that some cutting-edge AI models could achieve this feat, but what about a computer that looks a little different – more like...
Scientists from Cornell University have revisited a century-old electrochemical equation, the Cottrell equation, to aid in the conversion of atmospheric carbon dioxide into a functional product, and in managing this greenhouse gas. This equation, which bears …
National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) Hubble Space Telescope captured a "peaceful view" of a jellyfish galaxy adrift 900 million lightyears away in the constellation Coma Berenices.
INDIA: Kepler’s equation is a fundamental mathematical formula describing the orbit of planets around the Sun. This equation, developed by renowned astronomer Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century, has unlocked the mysteries of celestial mechanics and pav…
SWITZERLAND: Scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have achieved another breakthrough in particle physics as the ATLAS and CMS collaborations joined forces to provide the first evidence of the Higgs boson decaying into a Z boson and a photon. This …
SpaceX successfully launched its latest Falcon 9 rocket from Florida's Cape Canaveral just after midnight on Saturday (May 27), carrying the Arabsat BADR-8 s...
Most scientists agree modern humans developed in Africa, more than 200,000 years ago, and that a great human diaspora across much of the rest of the world occurred between perhaps 60,000 and 50,000 years ago.
Science For Everyone: This week, on ABP Live's science column, we discuss why colonising Mars is still a far-fetched idea, and the challenges that must be overcome to living there.
Launched on April 14, 2023, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice; formerly known as JUICE) spacecraft has finally completed the unfurling of its solar panel arrays and plethora of booms, probes, and antennae while en route to th…

A University of Michigan astronomer and his team are suggesting a new way to expand the search for habitable planets that takes into account a zone not previously considered: the space between the star and what’s called soot line in planet-forming di
A new study in Denmark used machine learning techniques on photographs of faces of Danish politicians to predict whether their political ideology is left- or right-wing. The accuracy of predictions was 61%. Faces of right-wing politicians were more likely to …
Following a strong quake on Mars, planetary scientists observed that its crust is thicker than Earth's. According to a researcher's report in a paper awaiting to appear in Geophysical Research...
