Using ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), researchers have found for the first time the fingerprints left by the explosion of the first stars in the

Four hundred light-years away, a massive solar flare has been observed in the Orion system. It is probably the biggest ever recorded.

If we ever find life on other worlds, it is unlikely to be a powerful message from space. It’s certainly possible that an alien civilization specifically sends us a radio message like a scene out of Contact, but the more likely scenario is that we observe som…

The merging of neutron stars, generating potent gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), is crucial for the creation of heavy elements in the universe. However, a 2021 discovery necessitates incorporating long burst GRBs, previously associated with black hole formation, into…

For the first time, researchers were able to see experimentally that information shared between quantum subsystems depends on surface area rather than volume...

See the atmospheric re-entry of one of Falcon Heavy's fairings on April 30, 2023. It was the "hottest and fastest" yet for the SpaceX, traveling at more than...

A new study posits that the earliest building blocks of life on Earth, namely amino acids and carboxylic acids, may have been formed due to solar eruptions. The research suggests that energetic particles from the sun during its early stages, colliding with Ea…

A team of international researchers led by Professor Cafer T. Yavuz of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Prof. Bo Liu from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), and Prof. Qiang Xu of Southern University of Science and…

When Edwin Hubble observed distant galaxies in the 1920s, he made the groundbreaking discovery that the universe is expanding. It was not until 1998, however, that scientists observing Type Ia supernovae further discovered that the universe is not just expand…

Many are the personalities who are speaking up about the dangers of artificial intelligence for humans and also for companies, even those that have developed

Humans like to think we have a monopoly on understanding ourselves — that explanations for all our inner workings, including when things go awry, lie within

Life in the ocean’s “twilight zone” could decline dramatically due to climate change, new research suggests.The twilight zone (200m to 1,000m deep) gets very little light but is home to a wide variety of organisms and billions of tonnes of organic ma

NASA's ShadowCam, a highly sensitive optical camera, is gathering data for humanity's first-ever journey to the lunar South Pole region.

Evidence of the never-seen-before first stars has been found in distant clouds

The innovation paves the way for future astronauts to convert lunar soil into breathable air and rocket fuel.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected water vapor around a distant rocky planet located 26 light-years away. "The water vapor could indicate the presence of an atmosphere around the extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, a discovery that could be impor…

A study led by University of Liverpool scientists has revealed a new way to improve crop growth, meeting a significant challenge to increase crop productivity in a changing climate with a growing population.With global levels of carbon dioxide (CO2)

Japanese company iSpace's Hakuto-R lander captured amazing views of the the Earth during a solar eclipse and more during its journey to a moon landing attemp...

The US space agency's new animation shows 10 of the mysterious star-gobbling giants occupying the centre of their host galaxies, including the Milky Way and M87.

Tracing his own journey back to fitness after being struck down by a heart rhythm problem 12 years ago, Simon Fellows investigates the link between exercise and arrhythmia

According to an analysis of the artifact, it is probably the real deal.
