In the center of this galaxy is a supermassive black hole feeding off the gas and dust encircling it, and large jets of high-energy particles and other material spewing out.

JWST catches evidence of water vapour around faraway planet

A Cornell-led collaboration harnessed chemical reactions to make microscale origami machines self-fold—freeing them from the liquids in which they usually function, so they can operate in dry environments and at room temperature.

Scientists offer new insight into “light at the end of the tunnel” and other “out of body experiences” when we are dying.

Dr. Jarvis lays out numerous pieces of evidence that jeopardize Dawkins’s view that genes are selfish and act as the units of selection.

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 matter.The new study, published in the journal Nature Communications, warns that climate change could cause a

A new NASA animation highlights the "super" in supermassive black holes. These monsters lurk in the centers of most big galaxies, including our own Milky Way, and contain between 100,000 and tens of billions of times more mass than our sun.

During observations of the merging galaxy cluster PSZ2 G277.93+12.34 with the MeerKAT radio telescope, an international team of astronomers have serendipitously detected a double radio relic and an odd radio circle. The discovery was detailed in a paper publi…

The first building blocks of life on Earth may have formed thanks to eruptions from our Sun, a new study finds.

A week after launch, the boom hosting the magnetometer instrument on the JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission has been successfully deployed.JUICE launched on 14 April 2023, and one week later on the 21 April, the 10.6-metre boom was unfolded a

Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping.
