When two black holes collide into each other to form a new bigger black hole, they violently roil spacetime around them, sending ripples called gravitational waves outward in all directions.

A research team including the involvement of the UAB has identified the P116 protein, by which the bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae obtains cholesterol and other lipids needed to survive. The study, led by the IBMB-CSIC and the Buchmann Institute in Germany, h…

This year started with a nice imaging opportunity for Solar Orbiter, and a chance to further improve the quality of its data. On January 3, 2023, inner planet Mercury crossed the spacecraft's field of view, resulting in a transit where Mercury appeared as a p…

In modern electronics, a large amount of heat is produced as waste during usage—this is why devices such as laptops and mobile phones become warm during use, and require cooling solutions. In the last decade, the concept of managing this heat using electricit…

An asteroid that flew precariously close to Earth in early February has an extremely unusual shape and rotation for an object of its kind, new NASA research has shown.

A team of chemists at the University of York has developed a low-cost, encapsulating hexatriacontane organogel that enhances the stability, handling, delivery, storage and portioning of sensitive reagents, making them safer and more accessible for use in synt…

The newly found exoplanet orbits a star similar in size, mass, and temperatures to our own Sun.

Astrophysicist Jeremy Schnittman hopes to have one of his theories about black holes proven someday.

United States Americans have a big appetite for catfish: In 2021, fish farms in the United States produced an estimated 307 million pounds of the creatures for human consumption. But aquaculture is complicated by infections and diseases, which kill millions o…
