NASA Administrator Bill Nelson has named Dr. Makenzie Lystrup director of the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, effective immediately. She

The discovery of these black holes is regarded as the first confirmation of a pair of supermassive black holes in the cosmic noon period, which occurred during the early history of the universe.

A new study into how quickly ice sheets melted at the end of the last ice age is raising alarm over how quickly sea levels could rise in today’s warming world. Parts of a large, ancient ice sheet covering Eurasia retreated up 2,000 feet per day — more than th…

Researchers have derived a formula that predicts the effects of environmental noise on quantum information – an advancement crucial for designing and building quantum computers capable of working in an imperfect world.

Medieval observations of lunar eclipses are helping researchers pinpoint a mysterious cluster of volcanic eruptions.

The four furthest galaxies ever seen were found by the James Webb Space Telescope.

Holes found on the floor of a restaurant in China were found to be dinosaur footprints from 100 million years ago, identified as sauropods.

Males of the notorious yellow crazy ant carry a mixture of genomes, a phenomenon unseen in other animals.

These objects are more than 100 times brighter than they should be. Observations by the agency’s NuSTAR X-ray telescope support a possible solution to this puzzle.

When any matter is divided into smaller and smaller pieces, eventually all you are left with—when it cannot be divided any further—is a particle. Currently, there are 12 different known elementary particles, which in turn are made up of quarks and leptons, ea…

The potentially hazardous asteroid 2023 FM is larger than a 40-story building and will zoom within 7.5 lunar distances from Earth on Thursday, April 6, according to NASA.

This week, NASA announced who will be on the crew of Artemis II, its return-to-the-moon mission.

Recipients include a concept from NASA’s JPL that would use next-generation radar technology to improve how we study Earth and other worlds.

A laboratory experiment has replicated the braided strands of solar coronal loops and shown that the bursting of individual strands produces X-rays. Measurements of these braided strands and the generated X-rays reveal a multi-scale process that could be resp…

In recent years, machine learning techniques have accelerated and innovated research in numerous fields, including neuroscience. By identifying patterns in experimental data, these models could for instance predict the neural processes associated with specifi…

Researchers Ludovico Lami (QuSoft, University of Amsterdam) and Mark M. Wilde (Cornell) have made significant progress in quantum computing by deriving a formula that predicts the effects of environmental noise. This is crucial for designing and building quan…

Sunday, 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley explores images captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, the world’s most powerful space telescope. Speaking with astr...

April's full moon did not disappoint.

In the math of particle physics, every calculation should result in infinity. Physicists get around this by just ignoring certain parts of the equations — an approach that provides approximate answers. But by using the techniques known as “resurgence,” resear…

Researchers studied traces left by retreating ice-shelves thousands of years ago on seabed off Norway

There’s an invisible monster on the loose! It’s barreling through intergalactic space fast enough to travel from Earth to the Moon in 14 minutes. But don’t w...

It'll be especially useful as we move toward solar maximum.

In this optical illusion picture, there is a hidden evil pumpkin in the bedroom. Only the most attentive individuals can spot the evil pumpkin in just 8 seconds. Test your observation skills now!

Ferroelectric materials have been studied extensively since their discovery more than a century ago because of their numerous uses in everything from data storage to sustainable energy sources.
