Astronomers have demonstrated a new method for determining the Hubble constant that involves measuring the time delay between multiple images of a lensed supernova.

'We see a beautiful effect that is a manifestation of intricate, fundamental physics.'

During the Cretaceous Period in a lush coastal region in eastern Spain, an impressive dinosaur with an elongated and vaguely crocodile-like skull was on the prowl for a meal, its curved and serrated teeth able to rip the flesh of its prey.

To get your hands on them, you just need to dig 160 kilometers beneath your feet.

At the end of a star's life, nuclear fusion ceases, and the resulting pressure is no longer sufficient to counteract the gravitational force. This collapse can lead to the formation of neutron stars, which are composed of the densest matter in the universe. H…

Spooky, but cool-spooky!

Scientists at the UArizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory have created an online portal that allows members of the public to help discover asteroids hurtling through our solar system.

It's not a complete all-clear for Earth, however.

Satellites launched into outer space could send back improved warnings of dangerous solar storms thanks to a breakthrough in the way scientists use space weather measurements. Experts from the University of Reading have found that using satellite dat

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch Crew Dragon Endeavour with the Axiom Space Ax-2 crew no earlier than May 21, 2023. The crew includes Commander Peggy Whi...

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover snapped this image using the camera at the tip of its robotic arm. Even more impressive than the revelation that Martians were bibliophiles is that this book is ju…

Life in the ocean’s “twilight zone” could decline dramatically due to climate change, new research suggests.The twilight zone (200m to 1,000m deep) gets very little light but is home to a wide variety of organisms and billions of tonnes of organic ma

Scientists will use the U.S. Navy's Kraken to simulate spaceflight, and perhaps even find a solution for motion sickness.

With the new slurry, Liu Ren was able to print ceramic torsion springs at 3.5 millimeters thickness which retained their shape in mid-air.

Badminton is not a sport that most of us think about often, and extremely rarely outside of every four years at the summer Olympics and maybe at the odd cookout or beach party here or there. But th…

The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) honored NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) missions and contractors as three of the 2023 recipients of its most prestigious awards, the AIAA Premier Award…

The Perseverance rover has captured new images that appear to show evidence of a fast-flowing river that once fed into Jezero Crater, the site of an ancient Martian lake.

A low-cost, recyclable powder can kill thousands of waterborne bacteria per second when exposed to sunlight. Stanford and SLAC scientists say the ultrafast disinfectant could be a revolutionary advance for 2 billion people worldwide without access to safe dri…

Scientists smashed plasma jets together to create artificial accretion disks that could help reveal how black holes grow.

Harvard University researchers have improved a gene editing process for studying and treating genetic disorders. The prime editing method is effective in human cells, targeting single nucleotide variants with the ability to precisely correct pathogenic mutati…

The headset project reportedly also faced numerous challenges due to CEO Tim Cook's "distant" approach.

A powerful solar flare exploded on Tuesday, caused by a sunspot three times the size of the Earth.The flare sent radiation that interfered with Earth's radio
