There seems to be no end to predictions of storm clouds when computers eventually decide to take matters into their own hands (or should we say, their own processors).
Eta Aquariid Meteor Shower is a perfect opportunity for skywatchers to see debris from Halley's Comet as it enters Earth's atmosphere. Moving at 148,000 mph, some of these fireballs leave glowing “trains” in their wake that last for several seconds to minutes…
Scientists say that Saturn's rings are falling in on the planet as icy rain due to the gas giant's intense gravity. Saturn's rings are made of pieces of comets, asteroids or moons.
Bacteria naturally adapt to various environmental stimuli and as they mutate, these changes can make them resistant to drugs that would kill or slow their growth.
As humans contemplate life on other planets, we are immediately confronted with two choices. One is a journey to another solar system that would take tens of thousands of years (with current technology), requiring around 2,000 generations to live out their ex…
The event, which has been named ZTF SLRN-2020, appears to have taken place in our own galaxy, some 12,000 light-years away, near the eagle-like constellation Aquila.
Former NASA astronaut and Kennedy Space Center director Maj. Gen. Roy D. Bridges Jr to be inducted in U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame alongside U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly.
Researchers have resolved the mechanism of exciton fission, which could increase solar-to-electricity efficiency by one-third, potentially revolutionizing photovoltaic technology. Photovoltaics, the conversion of light to electricity, is a key technology for …
‘We literally live on an island in our solar system’ — This former NASA astronaut shares what he’s learned after orbiting Earth 854 timesWith @CaptMarkKelly»...
Photovoltaics, the conversion of light to electricity, is a key technology for sustainable energy. Since the days of Max Planck and Albert Einstein, we know that light as well as electricity are quantized, meaning they come in tiny packets called photons and …
A NASA expert details an upcoming space station study conducted during a spacewalk to better understand potential contaminants for future human exploration of the Moon and Mars. HWHAP Episode 287.
Sam Walker has been dancing since he was a kid — and so has his 15-year-old daughter, Sam'ya, who is a cheerleader. He recently joined in her dance routine a...
An international research group has imaged and examined THz waves that propagate in the form of plasmon polaritons together with thin anisotropic semiconductor platelets with wavelengths decreased by up to 65 times than THz waves in free space.
SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 56 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit on Thursday morning (5/4) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
Scientists studying a star system in Orion witnessed one of the most powerful stellar eruptions ever seen — and it could be devastating to nearby planets.
