Scientists found a natural enzyme that can produce electricity from hydrogen in the atmosphere.

When faced with a potentially mission-ending problem with NASA’s 15-year-old Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft, engineers performed a time-honored procedure to fix it: they turned it off and then turned it back on again. Success! IBEX is now fu…

Over 12 years, researchers mapped all of a larval fruit fly's brain, charting 3,016 neurons and 548,000 connections. It's big news for neuroscience.

That's $1.8 billion more than the agency received this year.

With tons of lunar missions headed for the launchpad, scientists will soon create a 'lunar time zone'. Molly Gambhir tells you. #Gravitas #LunarTime #LunarMi...

Cosmic origins remain a mystery.

The first images from the largest program in the James Webb Space Telescope's first year show many types of galaxies, including dazzling examples of spiral galaxies, gravitational lensing, and evidence of galaxy mergers. Scientists from the COSMOS-Web program…

A team of researchers has been able to see inside faraway spiral galaxies for the first time to study how they formed and how they change over time, thanks to the powerful capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope.

In addition to $8.1 billion for NASA's lunar Artemis program, Biden also aims to allocate funds for a mission to return Mars rock and soil samples.

An uncultivated, aerobic chemolithotrophic Sulfurimonas species with a reduced genome is abundant across diverse, hydrogen-rich hydrothermal plumes in the deep ocean.

Kathryn Lueders is an American business manager and engineer who has been associated with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for more than 30 years. She recently became the first woman in NASA's history to head a human spaceflight missio…

Fungi from the Neocallimastigomycetes taxonomic class break bonds in lignin during the anaerobic deconstruction of whole plant cell walls. This finding challenges the paradigm that only certain aerobic organisms break down lignin.

NASA and SpaceX are targeting 8:30 p.m. EDT Tuesday, March 14, to launch the company’s 27th commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station. Liftoff will be from Launch Complex 39A at the NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Launch timing is…

Debashis Chanda, a professor and researcher in NanoScience Technology Center of University of Central Florida, has got inspired by butterflies to develop the first eco-friendly, multicolor, and large-scale substitute to pigment-based colorants, which could he…

Two-dimensional semiconductors have an opportunity to galvanize key progresses in electronic device capacities, substituting silicon-based chips. But, several problems still remain to hold back these devices.

University of Virginia scientists have identified a promising approach to delay aging by detoxifying the body of glycerol and glyceraldehyde, harmful by-products of fat that naturally accumulate over time.

The amount of surface oxygen present in graphene materials is an important aspect in determining how successful they can be in killing bacteria—a breakthrough that might aid in developing safer and more efficient products to fight antimicrobial resistance.

Scientists have found biological computers could be more energy efficient than regular computers, but experts say they'll likely only ever be used to learn about how the brain works.

More than 1,200 years ago, flightless elephant birds roamed the island of Madagascar and laid eggs bigger than footballs. While these ostrich-like giants are now extinct, new research from the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU Boulder) and Curtin Universi…

In a paper in the journal Nature, the researchers from University of Rochester, US, describe a nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride (NDLH) that exhibits superconductivity at 69 degrees Fahrenheit, or 20.6 degrees Celsius, and 10 kilobars, or 145,000 pounds per squ…

NASA says efforts should be made to stop the thaw by addressing overall climate concerns.

Undocking is scheduled for 5:05 p.m. ET on Saturday (March 11).

Extreme heat events that occur every fifty years now will take place more frequently at a rate of every one or two years by the end of 21st century in China, Zhang Xingying, a national political advisor warned on Thursday, while proposing that China should st…
