Coral reefs are some of the most vulnerable ecosystems on earth.But did you know you can help save the world's coral reefs by just listening with this new ar...

SpaceX is targeting 11:25 PM ET (03:25 UTC) tonight to launch Arabsat BADR-8 to a geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO). The launch window extends for 127 minutes, which SpaceX may need to use as the weather outlook only shows a 25% chance of acceptable conditi…

A team of researchers has found a mechanism in thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) which enables plants to provide protection against salt stress for their sensitive stem cells in the meristem at the root tip.

What started as a single cell in 2018, invisible to the human eye, has now evolved into a multicellular beast about the size of a flea.

The sabre-toothed creature, called Inostrancevia, illustrates the instability during the Great Dying. Inostrancevia struggled for dominance in the food chain prior to the mass extinction event.

The unexpectedly lonely galaxy 3C 297, discovered 9.2 billion light-years from Earth, has challenged existing theories on galaxy formation. Researchers suggest it may be the most distant "fossil group" ever discovered, where one galaxy has absorbed its former…

Research has revealed features of early human brain development are mimicked in the brains of marsupials.

It may be that the famous Higgs boson, co-responsible for the existence of masses of elementary particles, also interacts with the world of the new physics that has been sought for decades. If this were indeed to be the case, the Higgs should decay in a chara…

Elon Musk talked about time management challenges of running Tesla, Twitter and SpaceX at a Wall Street Journal event

Ohio public health officials raise concern about brain-eating amoeba in northern states.

An experiment on board the ISS showed that wood is surprisingly durable in the extreme environment that is space.

The James Webb Space Telescope caught Saturn's icy moon Enceladus spraying a 'huge plume' of watery vapor far into space — and that plume may contain...

A new study published in Geology concludes that an extinct volcano off the shore of Portugal could store as much as 1.2–8.6 gigatons of carbon dioxide, the equivalent of ~24–125 years of the country's industrial emissions.

In a study recently published in Nature Chemical Biology, researchers focused on para-nitro-L-phenylalanine (pN-Phe), a non-standard amino acid that is neither one of the twenty standard amino acids nor observed in nature. pN-Phe has been used by other resear…

The NG-18 Cygnus spacecraft departed the International Space Station on April 21, 2023 and burned up in Earth's atmosphere the following day. Astronaut Fran...

Symmetry is a tidy and attractive idea that falls apart in our untidy Universe.

Researchers at Lund University found that visual perspective taking, the cognitive ability to follow an obstructed gaze, originated in the dinosaur lineage about 60 million years before appearing in mammals. This finding challenges the notion that complex cog…

The Lunar Reconnaissance Observatory spotted Hakuto-R's impact site

The research will hopefully help scientists find better ways to prevent muscle loss in astronauts.

For those of us who don’t do it every day, handling sheet metal can be a nerve-wracking affair. Sheet metal is thin, heavy, and sharp, and one wrong move while handling it can have much the s…

If you look at enough dinosaur fossils, you'll see that their skulls sport an amazing variety of bony ornaments, ranging from the horns of Triceratops and the mohawk-like crests of hadrosaurs to the bumps and knobs covering the head of Tyrannosaurus rex.

The world's most sensitive model-independent experiment to search for particularly light particles, of which dark matter might be composed, starts today at DESY in the form of the 'light shining through a wall' experiment ALPS II. Scientific calculations pred…

From causing muscle loss to raising the risk of blood clots, long-haul space missions can have a profound impact on the human body.

NASA is launching a mission to study high-altitude ice clouds using two CubeSats equipped with the Polarized Submillimeter Ice-cloud Radiometer (PolSIR). The objective is to enhance climate forecasts and improve global climate models. Part of the cost-effecti…

Scientists used ground-based telescopes to get unprecedented views, thanks to the giant planet's position in its long orbit around the sun.
