Super-Earth orbiting nearby star may be blanketed in a thick, steamlike atmosphere

It's known as the "Gateway to Hell" and while it might not actually get you there, what it will unleash if it keeps thawing could truly be hellish.

NASA has terminated efforts to place its small, propulsively challenged Lunar Flashlight mission spacecraft into a backup orbit around the Earth.

A team of theoretical physicists have discovered a strange structure in space-time that to an outside observer would look exactly like a black hole, but upon closer inspection would be anything but: they would be defects in the very fabric of the universe.

NASA's Juno spacecraft will fly past Jupiter's volcanic moon Io on Tuesday, May 16, and then the gas giant itself soon after. The flyby of the Jovian moon will be the closest to date, at an altitude of about 22,060 miles (35,500 kilometers). Now in the third …

A new technique to measure the expansion rate of the Universe may serve as a tool to help scientists more accurately determine the Universe’s age and better u

While the aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, usually only appear in the most northern parts of the Earth, it's now extending farther south i...

They're tiny, and they're irregular, but they're still moons and their discovery puts Saturn back in the lead over Jupiter for most moons.

A new conservation tool in the field of coral reef ecology has been developed by University of Hawai'i (UH) at Mānoa researchers using cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology. By developing novel deep learning algorithms, coral ecologists in the …

A team of physicists has discovered a new role for a specific type of turbulence—a finding that sheds light on fluid flows ranging from the Earth's liquid core to boiling water.

Scientists have enhanced the efficiency of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing by threefold using interstrand crosslinks, without resorting to viral material for delivery. This approach boosts the cell’s natural repair mechanisms, allowing for more accurate and efficien…

The scientific community has paid close attention to this event because it has the potential to shed light on the behaviour of stars and the effects of

Researchers from Stockholm University have developed porous crystals made from pomegranate extract to capture and degrade pharmaceutical molecules found in local municipal wastewater. The research is published in the scientific journal Nature Water.

The study offers insights into the neurochemistry of social learning and draws parallels with language acquisition in humans.

If you love all things dinosaur-related, there is a set of dinosaur tracks in Tuba City, Arizona that you can hike along. And it's an experience you won't soon forget!

Maughan Capital has recently invested in Infogrid, an AI intelligence gathering firm working to increase the sustainability of buildings.

Tiny atmospheric particles from gargantuan wildfires that began in late 2019 helped to trigger La Niña conditions in 2020.

The gas giant orbiter has flown over 510 million miles and also documented close encounters with three of Jupiter’s four largest moons.

Astronomers said in February that Jupiter had the most moons with 92, but now Saturn is stealing the title back.

NASA's TESS mission has turned up hundreds of planets and planetary candidates, and here are two more.
