As a follow-up to its biennial report demonstrating the economic impact of NASA nationwide, the agency released new state-specific information on Monday. Each of the 51 fact sheets, which are the first drafted by the agency, showcase how investments in NASA b…

We present evidence that lignin, a recalcitrant and partially aromatic polymer found in plant cell walls, can be modified by anaerobic microorganisms. This finding overturns a long-standing paradigm that all biological processes of lignin degradation require …

Zebra mussel found attached to a lake chub in Canada, sparking concerns about faster spread

A dwarf elephant the size of a Shetland pony that once roamed Cyprus was an example of the “island effect,” a rule in evolutionary biology describing how large-bodied species tend to downsize on islands while small-bodied species upsize.

Some corals live to be hundreds, and even thousands, of years old. They were born with genes that were successful back in their parent's generation, so how can these old corals still be successful now? Especially in a changing climate? It's possible that the …

A single large flat lens was able to replace multiple optics inside of a telescope.

The space agency's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spotted the shapes as it studied how frost thaws at the end of Martian winter.

Liftoff is scheduled for Tuesday (March 14) at 8:30 p.m. ET, though that's not set in stone.

Self-testing is a promising method to infer the physics underlying specific quantum experiments using only collected measurements. While this method can be used to examine bipartite pure entangled states, so far it could only be applied to limited kinds of qu…

New James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal that the galaxy GS-9209 had its star-forming power abruptly "quenched" by mysterious forces after millions of years of productivity.

Jupiter has a great Red Spot, which is a vast ancient storm, spinning like a cyclone that is some 2 times the size of planet Earth. Here is what NASA's Hubble Telescope has captured.

Over 5% of recent Hubble Space Telescope images examined in the study contained Starlink satellite trails.

Today Venus has a dry, oxygen-poor atmosphere. But recent studies have proposed that the early planet may have had liquid water and reflective clouds that could have sustained habitable conditions. Researchers at the University of Chicago, Department of Geoph…

Joe Biden has proposed a $27.2 billion budget for NASA in 2024, which is about $1.8 billion more than the agency received this year.

For the first time ever, researchers have plotted out the locations and tabulated the carbon stocks of more than 9.9 billion individual trees spread across the dry belt of land stretching between the southern edge of Africa’s Sahara Desert, and the wetter sav…

There are 33 million galaxies in the simulated image, which is still only a small portion of of the proposed survey region
