Space missions will become longer. It will inevitably become impossible to pack every medication you need and take it from Earth. This means that we'll need ...

The work is based on new modeling and explores how oceans could exist in unlikely places in our solar system.

A total of 4,023 Starlink satellites are now in low Earth orbit, as SpaceX continues to build its record-setting constellation at a rapid pace.

A team of astronomers hoping to measure the atmosphere of a rocky exoplanet called GJ486b recently spotted evidence of water vapor in their data.

Solar geoegineering a controversial technology that might help lower temperatures, but many scientists don’t think the risks are worth it.

In a world of enormous diversity, we can do better than the boring banana.

An artificial intelligence system called BacterAI uses laboratory robots to learn the logic of microbial metabolism. BacterAI plans experiments autonomously and does not require any prior knowledge.

NASA's galactic cameras produce some out-of-this-world imagery, here's a roundup of the latest astronomical assets

Researchers found that the Moon's inner core is about 310 miles wide, which is about 15% the diameter of the Moon.

US space agency plans to shift the New Horizons planetary probe to studying heliophysics, and some scientists don’t agree.

Semiconductor materials are the foundation of modern electronic, photonic, photovoltaic, thermoelectric and many other semiconductor devices, which are integral for computers, mobile phones, gadgets, home appliances, cars and other equipment.

The bulbous-eyed mudskipper could offer key clues about how our fishy ancestors first made the leap to land.

Astronomers have made an intriguing discovery about the exoplanet GJ 486 b. This rocky world, similar to Earth, is approximately 30 percent larger and three times more massive. It closely orbits a red dwarf star, completing a "year" in just 1.5 Earth days. Al…

NASA officials say the meteor shower could include 120 to 160 fireballs per hour. Here's when they peak and how to prepare.

If we want to understand complex constructions, such as ourselves, assembly theory says we must account for the entire history of how such entities came to be.

Using the Nanshan One-meter Wide-field Telescope (NOWT), astronomers from China have performed a photometric survey of the old open cluster NGC 188. In result, they identified many variable stars, one of which was detected for the first time. The finding was …

Meghan Hill is a graduate student in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Michigan State University. Hill has won first place in MSU's Council of Graduate Student's 3-Minute Thesis Competition and represented MSU at the regional Midwestern Association …

Researchers have long explored the emergent features of complex systems, from physics to biology to mathematics. Nobel Prize-winning physicist P.W. Anderson's commentary 'More Is Different' is one notable example. It makes the case that as a system's complexi…

For the first time, utilizing ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), scientists have discovered the fingerprints left by the explosion of the first stars in the Universe.

A collaborative study led by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, outlines a new technique for isolating DNA from ancient bones and teeth that is non-destructive. This method, published in <i>Nature</i>, has been success…

A small team of chemists at the Russian Academy of Sciences, has found that metal atoms, not nanoparticles, play the key role in catalysts used in fine organic synthesis. In the study, reported in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the group used m…

Research indicates that certain neural cell circuits responsible for color vision are exclusive to humans. Research in the field of color vision has uncovered new evidence suggesting that humans have the capability to detect a broader spectrum of blue hues co…

The young star TW Hydrae is playing "shadow puppets" with scientists observing it with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
