Death is an inescapable truth. What begins has to end eventually. For the first time, scientists have found evidence as to how a star dies. Eric Njoka brings...

Researchers from Yale and the Broad Institute discovered that the loss of about 10,000 fragments of genetic information differentiates humans from our closest primate relatives. These conserved deletions, associated with cognitive functions and brain cell for…

A team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is creating and testing a snake-like robot called EELS (Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor). Inspired by a desire to ...

A reanalysis of Voyager data suggests that four of Uranus moons may have oceans tucked between their cores and icy crusts.

Orthopedic implant infections and device failure pose significant challenges. Newly-developed 'smart' coatings for orthopedic implants can now provide early warnings of device failure while eliminating infection-causing bacteria.

A versatile robot that would autonomously map, traverse, and explore previously inaccessible destinations is being put to the test at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Stanley Deser, a theoretical physicist who helped illuminate the details of gravity and how it shapes the space-time fabric of the universe, died on April 21

The findings uncover details of the internal structure of the moon that were previously hidden.

It is often desirable to restrict flows—whether of sound, electricity, or heat—to one direction, but naturally occurring systems almost never allow this. However, unidirectional flow can indeed be engineered under certain conditions, and the resulting systems…

A new tactic to fire up the lunar satellite's engines has resulted in "limited success."

Daniel Cavender has worked extensively with ASCENT, the non-toxic propellant developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory.

New research from Nova Southeastern University (NSU) is working towards understanding human infections and unlocking how bacteria "work together" to make these infections much more difficult to treat. Understanding this symbiotic relationship can lead to bett…

The volcanic eruptions that bring diamonds to Earth’s surface are driven by ‘pillars of heat’ stretching deep inside the planet.

A recent study led by UCL researchers has discovered that Neanderthal genetic material inherited by humans has an impact on the shape of our noses.

A team from the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) has revealed a new picture of the Milky Way's morphology.

Microbes play important roles in ecosystems, and these roles are changing with global warming. Scientists also now know that most types of microbes are infected by viruses, but they know relatively little about how these viral infections could change how micr…

The small island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean is often envisioned as a lush paradise, dotted with large trees and teeming with a diverse array of exotic, beautifully colored animals. However, this idyllic picture may not be accurate. Like many other locat…

The prizes aren’t awarded posthumously.

Scientific evidence shows that the tropical belt around the middle of the globe is expanding. For years scientists have proposed different mechanisms that might explain this expansion. A team of researchers has now determined that the poleward advancing mid-l…

Astronomers have revealed new evidence about the properties of the giant bubbles of high-energy gas that extend far above and below the Milky Way galaxy's center.

RIKEN geneticists have uncovered a protein in fruit flies that many textbooks say doesn't exist. The protein detects stress in cells and sets them on a pathway to self-destruction when they are overly stressed.

With a new moon occurring on May 19, skywatchers might still be able to see a few stragglers toward the end of this annual meteor shower.
