Two companies are preparing for a 2026 launch of their first commercial robotic Mars lander mission, the start of what they plan to be a regular series.

There's a lot scientists don't know about the pangolin—a peculiar, scaly mammal that looks like a cross between an aardvark and an armadillo. Now, a new paper published in the journal Chromosome Research reveals what UCLA researcher Jen Tinsman calls a "scien…

CO2 can be electrochemically converted to carbon monoxide, formate or methane, but also to ethylene, propanol, acetate and ethanol through what's known as a recycling process

The Ax-2 private astronaut mission, two cargo launches and multiple spacewalks highlight a busy early summer aboard space station.

Scientists led by Kelly Chipps of the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have successfully replicated a nuclear reaction that occurs on the surface of a neutron star. By using a unique gas jet target system, they have enhanced understanding …

Interface uses algorithms based on AI methods to decode brain recordings in real time

Microsoft's annual Build developer event brought with it plenty of announcements that should excite Windows users. Here are our favorites.

NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station will speak to students from St. Mark’s Episcopal School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Coccolithophores, a globally ubiquitous type of phytoplankton, play an essential role in the cycling of carbon between the ocean and atmosphere. New research from Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences shows that these vital microbes can survive in low-light c…

Lucy will become the first to investigate the Trojan asteroids near Jupiter, visiting a record number of space rocks beginning in late 2023.

When multiple NASA telescopes observe the same cosmic region, the universe's true colors are revealed.

The twin gravitational-wave detectors have started a new observation run after a major upgrade.

Kolkata: Inspired by natural photosynthetic systems, researchers in Kolkata have developed a new method of harvesting artificial light using organic nanotubes, which can be utilized in solar cells, photocatalysis, optical sensors, and tunable multi-color ligh…

Hidden below the brownish ammonia clouds blanketing Jupiter are clouds that like on Earth are made of water.

Da Vinci used his artistic insights into the nature of light, and his engineering-level geometry to describe the glow around the moon.

Perhaps the whole Universe is the result of a vacuum fluctuation, originating from what we could call quantum nothingness.

NASA has spotted a resting place of Japan's ispace's Hakuto-R Mission 1 lunar lander, which was carrying the UAE Rashid Rover to the moon.

In the Drosophila central-pattern-generating neural network, a mechanism for network desynchronization relying on weak electrical synapses and specific excitability dynamics of the coupled neurons translates unpatterned premotor input into stereotyped neurona…

In computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD), 3D objects are often represented by the contours of their outer surfaces. Computers store these shapes as "thin shells," which model the contours of the skin of an animated character but not the flesh unde…

Ecologically valid data collected during the 2018 and 2020 US elections show that exposure to and engagement with partisan or unreliable news on Google Search are driven not primarily by algorithmic curation but by users’ own choices.

Neuroscientists once believed human bodies were wired like circuit boards — until research involving crabs showed things are a lot more complex than that.

A deep learning and data-driven modelling study finds that microbial carbon use efficiency is a major determinant of soil organic carbon storage and its spatial variation across the globe.

Modules of foldable crystalline silicon solar cells retain their power-conversion efficiency after being subjected to bending stress or exposure to air-flow simulations of a violent storm.
