Of the thousands of meteorites found on Earth, about 188 have been confirmed to be from Mars. How did they get here? Over the tumultuous history of our Solar System, asteroids have smashed into Mars with such force, the debris was blasted into space and then …

New research ultimately poses more questions than it answers.

Scientists on Wednesday said a new method for extracting ancient DNA identified the object's long-ago owner - a Stone Age woman closely related to a population of hunter-gatherers known to have lived in a part of Siberia east of the cave site in the foothills…

With a single letter seemingly etched in the X-ray glow around it, a giant black hole at the center of a massive elliptical galaxy is making a mark on its surroundings.

The Eta Aquarid meteor shower, which takes place every spring, will peak on Thursday night and early Friday morning. Cloud coverage will prevent many Americans from seeing it clearly.

The conference runs from May 16 to May 18 this year.

Photographer Andrew McCarthy drove three telescopes into the desert and snapped thousands of images to capture the space station transiting the sun.

An international team of researchers at the University of California, Riverside, and the Institute of Magnetism in Kyiv, Ukraine, has developed a comprehensive manual for engineering spin dynamics in nanomagnets—an important step toward advancing spintronic a…

A groundbreaking online resource for plant pathogens has been developed, aimed at assisting researchers worldwide in identifying, detecting, and monitoring species of Phytophthora. These pathogens have caused various plant diseases, from the catastrophic Iris…

An artificial intelligence system enables robots to conduct autonomous scientific experiments—as many as 10,000 per day—potentially driving a drastic leap forward in the pace of discovery in areas from medicine to agriculture to environmental science.

Scientists reconstructed the oral microbiomes from dozens of ancient humans, revealing extinct genes

'We think that this is a common mechanism in galaxy formation.'

Utahraptor is going to need 10 million more candles on its next birthday cake.

Continents are part of what makes Earth uniquely habitable for life among the planets of the solar system, yet surprisingly little is understood about what gave rise to these huge pieces of the planet's crust and their special properties.

In a new study that could enable closer, deeper probes into the formation of stars outside the galaxies due to galactic interactions, an international team of astronomers has presented high-resolution ultraviolet imaging observations of an interacting galaxy …

Celebrate the completion of the first sample depot – or scientifically curated collection of rock and soil samples – on another world with NASA's Perseverance rover team. The diverse set of scientifically curated samples could help scientists answer the quest…

A trio of astrophysicists at Sorbonne Université has developed a new theory to help describe the stability of the solar system. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review X, Federico Mogavero, Nam Hoang and Jacques Laskar, describe their theory a…

New research from the University of Manchester and the University of Mauritius has explored whether potential life on nearby planets can detect Earth’s radio signals.

Super Powers Betelgeuse is one of the most iconic stars visible on Earth — and with scientists predicting that it'll go supernova sometime soon, astronomy...

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated a prototype lidar system that uses quantum detection technology to acquire 3D images while submerged underwater. The high sensitivity of this system could allow it to capture detailed information even in extre…

The standard model of cosmology has a big new problem: Some galaxies seem to be too old.

Viasat took a big step toward satellite staying power last weekend, as the long-awaited launch of the first of the ViaSat-3 trio.
