Astronomers have a plan for using ripples in space-time to hunt for elusive intermediate-mass black holes around the Milky Way's center.

Corallivorous fish were regarded as harmful to coral but research suggests their poo could be keeping reefs healthy

Evidence suggests much of Ranga Dias’s thesis was copied from other sources

China aims to build a moon habitat for its taikonauts within five years, according to local media, accelerating its space race with the US.

Researchers were able to replicate how solar flares form by creating banana-sized loops of plasma in a lab. The results show that the mini flares are an excellent proxy for studying the real things.

The Lyrids meteor shower streaks across the night sky every April, hurling about 20 meteors in a single hour – and up to 100 on rare occasions.

Scientists have figured out where the Earth's water came from billions of years ago when our planet formed.

Cephalopods such as octopus and squid evolutionarily diverged from mollusks like slugs and snails. These animals have elaborate compact nervous systems located within specialized arm appendages, which can perform a surprisingly diverse group of behaviors.

In this latest study, researchers used data from the Gaia spacecraft to recalibrate the brightness of pulsating stars known as Cepheids.

It's been more than half-a-century since humans last set foot on the moon, but that's about to change.

A trio of ex-SpaceX brothers have formed a new startup aimed at building an in-space transportation network.

The update brings loads of improvements, the most significant being new driving capabilities.

Astronomical outbursts leave telltale carbon-14 spikes in tree rings

Active volcanism. Plate tectonics. Retaining the atmosphere without a magnetosphere. There's so much to learn about Venus! In this interview I'm discussing a...

Research published yesterday in Nature has described one way in which RNA sequencing changes in the cell with age and how this may be linked to lifespan.Transcriptional elongationTranscriptional elongation is a fundamental biological process, as it a...

A quantum property dubbed "magic" could be the key to explaining how space and time emerged, a new mathematical analysis by three RIKEN physicists suggests. The research is published in the journal Physical Review D.

The “new car smell” that everyone knows and love might actually be a health risk.

The discovery of new quantum materials with magnetic properties could pave the way for ultra-fast and considerably more energy-efficient computers and mobile devices. So far, these types of materials have been shown to work only in extremely cold temperatures…

The ATLAS collaboration, the large research consortium involved in analyzing data collected by the ATLAS particle collider at CERN, recently observed the electroweak production of two Z bosons and two jets. This crucial observation, presented in Nature Physic…

Images snapped by the NASA's Curiosity rover appear to show spikes protruding from a rock lying at the base of the 96 mile-long (154 km) Gale Crater on Mars.

NASA's Curiosity rover has taken a picture of a strange Martian structure that one expert has dubbed the 'most bizarre' she's ever seen.
