Research could provide clues to extraterrestrial life. A team of Rutgers University scientists dedicated to pinpointing the primordial origins of metabolism – a set of core chemical reactions that first powered life on Earth – has identified part of a protein…
Abstract. Accurately accounting for spectral structure in spectrometer data induced by instrumental chromaticity on scales relevant for detection of the 21-cm s
“Zombie viruses that spent up to 48,500 years frozen in the ground could reawaken as the permafrost melts due to climate change," warned NASA climate scientists
According to a projected 2024 budget unveiled Thursday, President Joe Biden wants to increase the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s budget
Physicists have created a novel type of analog quantum computer capable of addressing challenging physics problems that the most powerful digital supercomputers cannot solve. A groundbreaking study published in Nature Physics by a team of scientists from Stan…
The U.S. Space Force is allocating three launch complexes at Cape Canaveral, including one used for Mercury missions, to four small launch vehicle startups.
Fossils of a 70 million-year-old platypus relative called Patagorhynchus pascuali found in South America show that egg-laying mammals evolved on more than one continent.
The fastest stars in the Milky Way hurtle along at over a thousand kilometers per second. Ph.D. candidate Fraser Evans has conducted research into these elusive hypervelocity stars and discovered that they have a lot to teach us about black holes and supernov…
A team of Rutgers scientists dedicated to pinpointing the primordial origins of metabolism—a set of core chemical reactions that first powered life on Earth—has identified part of a protein that could provide scientists clues to detecting planets on the verge…
Three inextricably linked aspects of social intelligence—social perception, Theory of Mind and social interaction—are the cognitive tools that will help computational science to advanc
Addressable active layers are highly required in optoelectronic devices to realize functional integration and application. Metal halide perovskites have shown promising applications in optoelectronic devices due to their superior optoelectronic properties and…
Fluorescence is a fascinating natural phenomenon. It is based on the fact that certain materials can absorb light of a certain wavelength and then emit light of a different wavelength. Fluorescent materials play an important role in our everyday lives, for ex…
The International Space Station fired its engines for more than six minutes to maneuver out of the path of an Earth observation satellite early Monday, according to NASA.
