When an earthquake hits, it is rarely an isolated event. Foreshocks precede quakes, and aftershocks follow them. To quantify seismic hazards, scientists must disentangle the factors that contribute to these shaking sequences.

Certain parts of mammalian genomes have remained the same across species and over millions of years. This suggests that these regions are important.

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered two "super-Earth" exoplanets orbiting a nearby M-dwarf star known as TOI-2095. The newfound alien worlds have short orbital periods and are slightly…

A 360-degree camera set up at the Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO) in Ladakh Hanle captured the beautiful light show.

The world grows ever more complex, placing greater and greater demands on human cognitive abilities. How convenient it would be if we could simply increase our intelligence! This has (of course!) o…

Researchers from the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Lausanne in Switzerland, used a geometric deep-learning tool that generates "fingerprints" of protein surfaces to describe geometric and chemical features critical to protein–protein interactions. In the…

Astronomers have struck terbium, a rare metal, in the atmosphere of an exoplanet — planets revolving around a star outside our solar system — 670 lightyears away from Earth.This...

Asteroid 2023 HY3 will pass by Earth at a distance of 6.3 million kilometres and is travelling at a speed of 23,596 kilometres per hour, Nasa said

This is the first time that experimental results of such a battery have been published.

The base will be primarily run by robotics, but will also be designed to accommodate astronauts for short stays.

After decades of frustration, researchers have finally determined how an airborne scent molecule links to a human smell receptor.

NASA's Voyager 2 is getting an energy boost that will help keep its science instruments running until 2026 and perhaps beyond. This is all made possible by a rather simple hack on NASA's part.

New, high-resolution views of Deimos, the smaller of Mars’s two moons, were recently captured by a United Arab Emirates spacecraft named Hope.

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.

Astronomers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to study a rocky exoplanet known as GJ 486 b, and their observations using Webb’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) show hints of water vapor.

There are several important space events taking place which you must not miss this month

SpaceX deployed the VIasat-3 Americas, Astranis MicroGEO satellite and Gravity Space GS-1 satellites on May 1, 2023. The deployments occurred several hours a...

There are many theories on what selective pressures may have led to the dramatic increase in the size of early human brains, which are much larger than any other ape’s. A new study posits that DNA …

Earth’s magnetic field forms a protective shield around us, and various plasma waves are generated in this magnetic field cavity.

It's not about fairness. It's about using every possible advantage.

Deimos, the smaller of Mars’s two moons, may be more like its planet than we realize. New, high-resolution views of the tiny moon were recently captured by a United Arab Emirates spacecraft named Hope. Part of the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM), Hope used its on…

The May 2023 full moon graces our skies this week, along with some other treats for stargazers.
