Eta Aquarids meteor shower will be peaking in Jacksonville, Florida on the night of Friday, May 5.

Launched in 1977, the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes have been operating non-stop for over 45 years, making their way from Earth to our solar system’s outer planets and beyond. Courtesy of the …

Results of the research call for more research into how fungi communicate electrically in actual environments, according to the research team.

The Gemini South telescope in Chile has been used by astronomers to detect a planet being devoured by its dying host star, a process similar to the fate of E...

A massive gravitational-wave detector and a new solar telescope are among the priorities on funders’ latest roadmap.

Researchers at NASA's Johnson Space Center have successfully extracted oxygen from simulated lunar soil inside a vacuum chamber.

The dramatic footage shows a Falcon Heavy fairing blazing through the atmosphere at speeds reaching Mach 15.

The most amazing things about the universe are also the largest. Compared to the rest of the universe, our entire solar system is smaller than a grain of sand. If you've ever wondered how big supermassive black holes really are, a new NASA video sheds light o…

The need to capture CO2 and transport it for permanent storage or conversion into valued end uses is a national priority recently identified in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to move toward net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Some five million alligators live in south-eastern US, with two million located in Louisiana and over a million in Florida. South Carolina alone is estimated to be home to around 100,000 alligators.

Women use fewer resources and are more likely to come back healthy.

A team of chemists at the University of California, Los Angeles has found that the benzene isomer 1,2,3-cyclohexatriene has the potential to be a versatile reagent in organic synthesis. In their study, reported in the journal Nature, Andrew Kelleghan, Ana Bul…

Semiconductor nanocrystals electrically driven to emit intense light.

The centuries-long search to understand our Solar System’s stability could now be over, or maybe not.

We report a simple method to fabricate chiroptical flexible layers via supramolecular helical ordering of conjugated polymer chains, providing direct, scalable realization of on-chip detection of the spin degree of freedom of photons.

A cryo-electron microscopy reconstruction of the virus ΦcrAss001 provides insights into the functions of the viral gene products in capsid assembly and infection.

Microsecond infrared spectroscopy together with quantum chemistry reveal the rate-determining proton and electron movements and identify an oxygen-radical state of the manganese cluster as the S4 state.

Colloidal quantum dot devices demonstrating electrically pumped amplified spontaneous emission are described, showing strong, broadband optical gain and bright edge emission, opening the path to solution-processable laser diodes.

Observations of ZTF SLRN-2020, a short-lived optical outburst in the Galactic disk accompanied by bright, long-lived infrared emission, show that the resulting light curve and spectra are consistent with the signatures of a planet being engulfed by its host s…

A research group has succeeded in regulating the flow of single molecules in solution by opening and closing the nanovalve mounted on the nanofluidic device by applying external pressure. The research group fabricated a device with a ribbon-like, thin, soft g…

Traces of ancient hormones were detected in the tusks of a woolly mammoth that lived more than 33,000 years ago, revealing that the now-extinct creatures had episodes of raging testosterone.

Analysis of ancient tusks has unveiled that woolly mammoths experienced huge surges in testosterone during mating season, according to a University of Michigan-led study.

If you're a fan of arts and crafts, you're likely familiar with the messy, sticky, frustration-inducing nature of liquid glues. But researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces now have a brand-new way to weld squishy stuff together without the…
