Here's why the deep-space journey of Europe's JUICE probe will take so long.

Some of the most exciting things that happen in a telescope’s lifetime are its data releases. Gaia, which has been operating since 2013, recently released its third major dataset, and astronomers that weren’t intimately involved in the operation and planning …

Earth’s water is more ancient than the Sun and originated in interstellar space over five billion years ago, according to a new study.

As the authors described it, it is a blend of science and Art.

In August 2019, Chloe Fishman crawled into a cave beneath the largest active volcano on the planet. Along with scientists from NASA and other institutions, she had come to Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano to study the microscopic life-forms that could survive under…

On Feb. 22, 1971, a sounding rocket lifted off from Wallops Island, Virginia, with specialized sensors aimed at the Crab Nebula, a bright cosmic object 6,500 light-years away. In those days, before recovering physical tapes from the experiment, scientists fir…

A news report coming from NASA that NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has hardly opened its eyes and the universe is now-- more mysterious, more beautiful than humanity's dreams. This news is getting

High-pressure reactions of hydrogen and iron could explain gaps in the distribution of exoplanets.

For the first time, scientists have forged a nearly all-encompassing model of Earth’s surface evolution over the past 100 million years.

'It could make lightweight mirrors that are 15 or 20 meters in diameter a reality.'

Research led by the University of Alabama has found a new layer between the Earth’s core and mantle – a sunken ocean floor – that may play a key role in how heat escapes the core itself.

The findings published online in Nature on March 15, 2023, are expected to rekindle interest in the science of smell, with implications for fragrances, food science, and beyond. Odorant receptors, which are proteins that bind odour molecules on the surface of…

Volcanic eruptions millions of years apart wiped out much of life on Earth. Massive volcanic eruptions millions of years apart caused two mass extinctions during the Middle Permian Period, according to a study of uranium isotope profiles in marine samples. Th…

Regions most at risk of losing forest carbon are precisely where many forest carbon offset projects are located, researchers say.

An advancement crucial for designing and building quantum computers capable of working in an imperfect world.

To identify the variables that most significantly affect fluctuations in the flow of particles, scientists thoroughly analyzed data from collisions of heavy ions (the atom’s nucleus).

NASA has warned about five potentially hazardous asteroids, one of which measures a massive 250-foot in size, rushing towards Earth. Know all about these these monster rocks.

On April 3, 2023, NASA announced that NASA astronauts Christina Koch, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen will fly ...

Scientists at Binghamton University have conducted research in collaboration with the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) — a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory — to get a better understandi…

These odd binary systems go through multiple phases.

Numerous pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere as a result of human activities, and without a molecule called hydroxide (OH), many of these pollutants would continue to aggregate in the atmosphere.

Can rapid warming of the Earth cause tipping points in the climate? For decades, researchers have disputed the fact of whether today’s warming can strongly amplify itself by triggering a catastrophic release of greenhouse gases.

Microbiologist Gaël Erauso studies microorganisms from the deep ocean to learn how they evolved from prebiotic organic molecules billions of years ago.

Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) in Vienna recently devised a universal mechanism to invert the evolution of a qubit with a high probability of success. This protocol, outlined in Physical Review Letters, can pro…
