Fifty years since the first mobile phone call, the technology we carry around in our pocket is helping to create the world's biggest earthquake detection system.

Powerful bursts of radiation called fast radio bursts could be launched when neutron stars collide and merge, gravitational wave detections indicate.

Researchers from The University of Alabama discovered a dense layer of ancient ocean floor, or ultra-low velocity zone (ULVZ), between Earth's core and mantle using seismic imaging. These underground "mountains" could play a key role in heat escape from the c…

New measurements suggest we are fundamentally wrong about the universe - Puzzle over ‘Hubble constant’ could suggest many of our basic assumptions are wrong

Explore Mars in a new 5.7-terapixel mosaic comprised of 110,000 individual images.

'Beautiful' Pink Moon Shines Above County WicklowApril’s full moon, also known as the Pink Moon, rose on Wednesday night, April 5, and was visible around the...

Researchers found a way to assess consciousness without external stimulation, using a little-used approach where volunteers squeeze a force sensor with their hand when they breathe in and release it when they breathe out, resulting in more precise and sensiti…

Diamond material is of great importance for future technologies such as the quantum internet. Special defect centers can be used as quantum bits (qubits) and emit single light particles that are referred to as single photons.

Deep ocean water flows from the Antarctic could decline by 40 per cent by 2050, according to a study published in the journal Nature.

This would help researchers and students to better understand from their labs itself the circumstances and conditions under which certain features get formed in a volcano, say scientists

New research from a team of scientists at the Cornell University Center for Bright Beams has made significant strides in developing new techniques to guide the growth of materials used in next-generation particle accelerators.

Stimulating the production of white adipose tissue, or beige fat, helps to reverse a slowing metabolism. The findings could help ward off age-related weight gain and prevent metabolism disorders.

Simulating solar flares on a scale the size of a banana, researchers at Caltech have parsed out the process by which these massive explosions blast potentially harmful energetic particles and X-rays into the cosmos. Their research is published in the journal …

Developed at Harvard, and successfully tested at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), a revolutionary new meta-optics for microscopes with extremely high spatial and temporal resolution has proven its functional ability in laboratory tests at the Institut…

The regulation of hunger may go back to the base of the animal family tree.

Researchers sound alarm over damage caused by popular meteorite-hunting technique

The four-person Ax-2 mission will lift off at 10:43 p.m. ET on May 8, if all goes according to plan.

In an advance they consider a breakthrough in computational chemistry research, University of Wisconsin–Madison chemical engineers have developed model of how catalytic reactions work at the atomic scale. This understanding could allow engineers and chemists …

The Soyuz parking spot swap makes way for a new cargo ship and spacewalks later this year, NASA says.

Ice sheets are capable of retreating up to 600 metres a day during periods of climate warming, 20 times faster than the highest rate of retreat measured

A Cornell University researcher has developed sonar glasses that “hear” you without having to speak..

Astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to find a pair of quasars residing in the cores of two galaxies. They existed when the universe was 3 billion years old.
