LMU chemists use high-precision quantum chemistry to study key elements of super-efficient energy transfer in an important element of photosynthesis.

Smaller than originally estimated, it is now pegged at approximately 375 feet by 365 feet, with a thickness of about 60 feet.

It resembles nothing more than a hazy patch of passing cloud.

New evidence supports the theory that microorganisms rode a space rock and set up residence on Earth billions of years ago.

Mars's warm, wet past and evidence of microbial life could be some just of the secrets revealed by the sample return mission.

The genetics of temperature adaptation.

Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all uni-plate planets, and always have been. Here are the reasons why Earth, uniquely, has plate tectonics.

SpaceX launched its 20th mission of the year on March 24, sending 56 of its Starlink internet satellites skyward and landing the returning

The samples of soil and pebbles from asteroid Bennu will be dropped into the Utah desert, bringing the seven-year-long mission to a close.

What will NASA do when it finds a killer asteroid making its way to Earth? "What would NASA do if a dinosaur-killing asteroid barrels its way to Earth?" That is one of the questions actor Adam Driver asked NASA in one of the agency's latest videos to determin…

Aliens watching us through tiny probes, suggest Pentagon officials

This luminous NASA/ESA Hubble Picture of the Week shows Z 229-15 — imaged here in exquisite detail by the Hubble Space Telescope — a celestial object that lies about 390 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Lyra. Z 229-15 is one of those intere…

Apple Analyst Mark Gurman has suggested a major change in the plans for iOS 17 release. This is what you may get.

Is the universe really flat? New theory suggests otherwise

The lack of uniform analytical standards currently prevents the comparability of data on microplastics in the environment. Researchers from the University of Bayreuth and the Alfred Wegener Instit ...

Technion researchers present the first-ever observation of the Cherenkov radiation phenomenon in a two-dimensional space. The researchers from the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technion – Israel Institute of Tec…

Remains of a large sea reptile that lived during the time of the dinosaurs were found recently on a Norwegian island.

Researchers have identified new mechanisms of taste perception. The study reports chloride ion channels bind to sweet taste receptors to evoke taste sensation.

Caltech engineers have made a significant breakthrough in the field of nano- and micro-architected materials by creating a novel material composed of multiple interconnected microscale knots. Compared to structurally identical but unknotted materials, the pre…

A sustainable new rocket propulsion system could prove an alternative theory of inertia.

Everything you need to know about what’s happening in the night sky in the next month.

Researchers have ‘hacked’ the earliest stages of photosynthesis, the natural machine that powers the vast majority of life on Earth, and discovered new ways to extract energy from the process, a finding that could lead to new ways of generating clean fuel and…

One hundred years ago, colorful canaries warned humans of the hidden hazards of digging for coal by riding shotgun down the mine and dropping dead.

NASAs Perseverance rover sends eerie photo of dawn on Mars

A single cell holds 2-3 meters of DNA, necessitating a compact storage method. This is achieved through chromatin, a complex formed by DNA coiled around proteins called histones. In three-dimensional space, chromatin is intricately folded into a multi-layered…
