This was the third severe geomagnetic storm since the current 11-year solar cycle began in 2019, according to NOAA.

With humanity looking to set foot on the Moon again for the first time in 50 years, space agencies around the world need lunar soil – lots of it.

Skoltech Bio scientists tested AlphaFold on predicting the impact of single mutations on protein stability, and the AI program's predictions contradicted experimental findings, refuting claims that it had mastered the ultimate protein physics. A bioinformatic…

The European Space Agency’s new JUICE mission is on its way to orbit Jupiter's giant moon Ganymede, but before it gets there it will flyby tiny Callisto a stunning 21 times.

Four people will soon be moving into what has been called the most realistic Mars base ever created to experience what it would be like to live in space, 157.12 million miles from Earth. The Space Analog for the Moon and Mars (SAM) base is a hermetically seal…

Human-Like Intelligence Could Be Physical In a groundbreaking study, an international team has shown that nanowire networks can mimic the short- and long-term memory functions of the human brain. This breakthrough paves the way for replicating brain-like lear…

The mudskipper, which thrives on both land and sea, likely learned to blink similarly to the first animals that came on land 375 million years ago.

Using a targeted computational approach, researchers in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University have found more than 20 new self-assembled crystal structures, none of which had been observed previously.

It is one of the most exciting races in modern physics: How can we produce the best superconductors that remain superconducting even at the highest possible temperatures and ambient pressure? In recent years, a new era of superconductivity has begun with the …

It's a dangerous world out there. From bacteria and viruses to accidents and injuries, threats surround us all the time. And nothing protects us more steadfastly than our skin. The barrier between inside and out, the body's largest organ is also its most seam…

Throughout the universe, supermassive black holes can typically be found at the center of massive…

‘Eric’ the plesiosaur turned into opal was found in a mine in South Australia decades ago.

An unusual blinking fish, the mudskipper, spends much of the day out of the water and is providing clues as to how and why blinking might have evolved during the transition to life on land in our own ancestors. New research shows that these amphibious fish ha…
