Scientists have produced a sensor that converts light into an electrical signal at an astonishing 200 percent efficiency – a seemingly impossible figure that was achieved through the weirdness of quantum physics.

Astronomers found that the star system dubbed AF Leporis, in which the two planets are found shares similar features to our Solar System.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured an incredible photograph of a butterfly in the stars that will eventually fade and become a corpse.

A Hamburg-based research team has developed a new method for producing a network of large to very fine pores in silicon and glass. At DESY’s X-ray source PETRA III, scientists led by DESY research ...

The fossils were found on Ellesmere Island, located in Nunavut, Canada, within sedimentary layers associated with the early Eocene epoch, potentially providing insight into how ecosystems may evolve in the years to come. Researchers at the University of Kansa…

Carbon dating is how we determine the age of fossils and relics from our past. But how does it actually work?

Asteroid 1993 VB has been predicted to pass Earth at a relatively close distance today. NASA estimates it to be mammoth in size.

Role of Carbon dots with a combination of siRNA & chemotherapeutics in overcoming chemoresistance of lung cancer by suppressing MRP1 & oxidation of GSH.

The team utilized a technique that they believe could speed up the drug discovery process in the production of lissodendoric acid A. Organic chemists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have synthesized the first artificial form of a molecule …

<p>Antarctica&rsquo;s &ldquo;doomsday glacier&rdquo; is in trouble. Once it lets go, it will trigger an irrevocable chain reaction adding 3 metres to a global rise in sea levels. And that&rsquo;s just the start.</p>

Leonardo da Vinci pulled off gravity genius two centuries before Newton, study reveals

The MERTIS (MErcury Radiometer and Thermal Infrared Spectrometer) instrument onboard the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission will provide mid-infrared data, which will be crucial to characterize the surface mineralogy of Mercury.

Introduction: The search for life on distant exoplanets is expected to rely on atmospheric biosignatures detection, such as oxygen of biological origin.

Scientists have made further strides toward identifying the key circumstances for catastrophic earthquakes, according to a new study.

Astronomy Magazine recognized physics and astronomy Prof. Wen-fai Fong as one of 25 “Rising Stars in Astronomy” for her specialization in transients, according to a Northwestern news release Thursday.  Transients are defined as extremely quick phenomena, incl…

Over the past century, the Earth’s average temperature has swiftly increased by about 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit). The evidence is hard to

Exacerbated by heatwaves and drought, dust storms are increasing around the globe -- but researchers have limited data on their impact on climate change. NASA hopes its new spaceborne instrument, fixed to the International Space Station, will change that by p…

Mars is infamous for its intense dust storms, some of which kick up enough dust to be seen by telescopes on Earth.

Gas clouds in the Cygnus X Region, a region where stars form, are composed of a dense core of molecular hydrogen (H2) and an atomic shell. These ensembles of clouds interact with each other dynamically in order to quickly form new stars.

Jupiter is well known for its spectacular aurorae, thanks in no small part to the Juno orbiter and recent images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Four of the largest known satellites in our solar system appear to put on fantastic atmospheric displays.

Efficient, low-cost transistors have a wide range of applications, including biomedical sensing. A multidisciplinary Northwestern University research team has created a groundbreaking transistor that is expected to be optimal for bioelectronics that are high-…
