Phase-shifting material also useful for smart soldering devices, in vivo drug delivery.

Fluorescence microscopy is a widely used technique in the life sciences that enables scientists to see specific parts of cells and tissues by labeling them with glowing molecules, helping in the study of cell structure and movement, molecule behavior, and dru…

On this week’s show: The hunt for natural hydrogen deposits heats up, and why we need a space mission to an ice giant

A team of researchers at the University of Toledo have jumped a major hurdle standing in the way of the commercialisation high-efficiency solar cells.

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) lurk in the center of large galaxies like ours. From their commanding position in the galaxy's heart, they feed on gas, dust, stars, and anything else that strays too close, growing more massive as time passes. But in rare cir…

The high cliffs of Miranda barely scratch the surface of why Uranus' moon is so unique.

The seventh planet from the Sun is as mysterious as it is elusive, prompting astronomers to press for the first dedicated mission to the ice giant.

With its strange rings and tilt, surprising seasonal variations, and 27 moons, Uranus is the solar system’s weirdo planet. The...

The dinosaur footprint found on the Yorkshire coast is the largest ever found in the area. The footprint, almost a meter long, was left during the Jurassic era.

All four of Jupiter's Galilean moons show the same oxygen aurora we see in skies near the Earth’s poles.

New research calls into question the scientific strength of evidence behind the connections between complex fungal networks and multiple trees.

An analysis of distant galaxies captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope reveals that they are extremely young and exhibit remarkable similarities to a rare type of small galaxy known as "green peas" that exist in our cosmic backyard. “With detailed chem…

Electrocatalytic oxygen reduction and evolution reactions occur in various fuel cells, metal-air batteries, and in water splitting devices. Large-scale use of noble metals and their complexes in industries are limited by their low abundance and high cost.

Bacterial toxins have always been seen as dangerous molecules—but may also act as negotiators between bacteria and the host immune response to enable long-term infection. Anna Bergonzini, at the Department of Molecular Biology at Umeå University, defends her …

Melba Mouton worked during the era of "Hidden Figures" at NASA. The newly named Mons Mouton overlooks an area that will also be targeted by an ice-hunting rover in 2024 or so.

Astronomers using W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea in Hawaiʻi have discovered that aurorae at visible wavelengths appear on all 4 major moons of Jupiter: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.

Researchers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope are getting their first look at star formation, gas, and dust in nearby galaxies with unprecedented resolution at infrared wavelengths. The data has enabled an initial collection of 21 research papers which …

This image from NASA's Mars Odyssey shows part of the rim of an unnamed crater in Terra Sirenum.

A massive explosion was spotted on the sun on Wednesday, and now astronomers are keeping a close eye on how that may impact us here on Earth in the coming days.

The glacier is roughly the size of Florida.

India Business News: PUNE: Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, and Mylab, India’s leading biotech company, today announced a partnership to desi.

Man Ho Chan, an astronomer at The Education University of Hong Kong, used estimations of the size and gravity of Planet Nine to estimate its number of potential moons.

Supercooled droplets can typically freeze on surfaces in nature, and have broad-scale influence on industries where they can adversely impact technical efficiency and reliability. Superhydrophobic surfaces are therefore a materials engineering solution to rap…
