A new census reveals that 35% of supermassive black holes are hidden behind dust, disrupting major galactic models.

Bizarre and eerie places around the world hide untold stories that you can only glimpse from above. From strange aircraft graveyards to haunting villages, these sites have long captivated the curious. Not everything is as it seems on Google Maps.

Two of John H. Zhang’s papers have been retracted, 19 have corrections, and 27 have expressions of concern.

LINE-1, a "jumping gene" making up 20% of the genome, invades DNA during cell division using protein-RNA clusters, offering insights into genome evolution and disease. Viruses are masters of hijacking the cells they infect. To make more copies of themselves, …

Scientists have never directly detected dark matter, but some wonder if one high-energy detection in 2023 could be a rare indirect glimpse at it.

The prolific flare factory doesn't look like stopping anytime soon.

Here’s what you need to know

NASA's car-sized Perseverance rover has been roaming the surface of Mars for four years, drilling into the alien soil to collect dirt it places in tubes and leaves on the ground.

The coloration may be caused by volcanic ash or simply dirt that hasn’t seen the light of day in millenia.

Beneath Greenland's frozen surface, a shocking discovery has left researchers in disbelief. What was found could challenge everything we thought we knew about ice and the environment.

"This is the first time we have ever been able to observe the structure."

Japan is developing a game-changing technology that could fuel space probes for over 100 years. Using a groundbreaking nuclear battery, this innovation promises to revolutionize deep space missions. A new power source that doesn’t rely on the Sun is set to al…
