In "The Shortest History of the Dinosaurs," Riley Black reveals the bold mammals that thrived in the Age of Reptiles.

Scientists at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome and the University of Bordeaux in France report that human cultural know-how grew through a long, measured shift from casual observation to structured teaching, with language assuming a pivotal…

SALTO has only one leg, and does more with less

When Isaac Newton wrote down his now-famed laws of motion in 1687, he could have only hoped we'd be discussing them all these centuries later.

A California high school student just uncovered something no one expected—1.5 million hidden space objects. Using nothing but AI, he’s challenging everything we thought we knew about the universe.

Not everything dies in a mass extinction. Sea life recovered in different and surprising ways after the asteroid strike 66 million years ago. Ancient fossils recorded it all.

Upgrades to the National Science Foundation's Daniel K.

NASA technology traced the pulsing back to a massive tsunami.

Quantum Space has raised $40 million to advance development of its Ranger spacecraft with a new focus on national security applications.

"This landscape hanging out there in the middle of the basin is a little bit of an odd phenomenon."

Axolotls are champion regenerators. A surprising chemical makes it possible.

Fierce solar activity destroying Starlink satellites

Scientists identified a hidden "sixth sense" in geckos that's upending up what we thought we knew about animal hearing.

A new machine learning model shows that star-shaped brain cells may be responsible for the brain's memory capacity, and someday, it could inspire advances in AI and Alzheimer's research.

New research published by Michigan State University astrophysicists could help scientists answer a century-old question: Where did galactic cosmic rays come from?

A team of researchers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) has discovered that cobalt-70 isotopes form different nuclear shapes when their energy levels differ only slightly. The findings, published in Nature Commun…

A black hole has blasted out a surprisingly powerful jet in the distant universe, according to a new study from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and discussed

University of Michigan chemist Charles McCrory and his research group, along with Jesús Velázquez's lab at the University of California, Davis and Anastassia Alexandrova's lab at the University of California, Los Angeles, have developed a method to capture ca…

Physicists at the University of Oxford have set a new global benchmark for the accuracy of controlling a single quantum bit, achieving the lowest-ever error rate for a quantum logic operation—just 0.000015%, or one error in 6.7 million operations. This record…

SpaceX may soon have up to nine active launch pads. Most competitors have one or two.

Captured from over a billion kilometers away, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft immortalized Earth as a tiny dot beneath Saturn’s majestic rings.

Recent scholarship has concluded that Neanderthals made a second major migration from Eastern Europe to Central and Eastern Eurasia between 120,000 and 60,000 years ago. But the routes they took have long been a mystery—primarily because there are few archaeo…

A new study using the Event Horizon Telescope finds that black hole jets speed up as they move away, defying long-held ideas.
