Astronomers found hidden cosmic channels, like tunnels, connecting our solar system to distant stars, reshaping views of interstellar space.

By controlling this state, researchers can enable the development of smarter, reconfigurable, and energy-efficient devices that function like the brain. Researchers at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have successfully created a new form of magneti…

The moon is becoming less visible every night.

Human evolution wasn’t a straight line. Our tree of life? More of a shrub.

Scientists used powerful X-rays to see mineral “shadows” where blood once flowed through vessels in a Tyrannosaurus rex rib.

Blue Origin says to expect a big uptick of activity at New Glenn's launchpad.

Scientists reveal how the Dsup protein found in tardigrades protects DNA from extreme radiation, which is key for future space missions.

The agency has cheaper and farther-reaching missions in its sights.

A team of scientists from Korea and Japan has discovered a new type of crystal that can "breathe"—releasing and absorbing oxygen repeatedly at relatively low temperatures. This unique ability could transform the way we develop clean energy technologies, inclu…

A plucked guitar string can vibrate for seconds before falling silent. A playground swing, emptied of its passenger, will gradually come to rest. These are what physicists call "damped harmonic oscillators" and are well understood in terms of Newton's laws of…

Unexpected X-ray polarization challenges long-held ideas about how black holes behave.

Researchers have combined 15 years' worth of radio data to peer through the cone of a high-energy jet and unravel the magnetic mysteries of a "blazar" billions of light-years from Earth. The new findings also shed light on the origin of elusive "ghost particl…

Scientists have identified a new species of ancient whale with cartoonish bulging eyes that they say would have made it look like a Pokémon.

A study of March's Myanmar earthquake has found that strike-slip faults don't necessarily repeat past behavior, meaning the San Andreas fault could unleash a bigger quake than any seen before.

NASA’s charter clearly states the agency should study planet Earth, however.

Volcanic ash in central Turkey has unveiled a stunning fossil record that may rewrite the story of mammal and human evolution.

Astronomers found hidden cosmic channels, like tunnels, connecting our solar system to distant stars, reshaping views of interstellar space.

Breakthrough science or deep-sea devastation?

Astronomers have found oxygen in the universe’s most distant known galaxy—rewriting the timeline of cosmic evolution just 300 million years after the Big Bang.

There may be a habitable world at the Sun's closest solar twin.

The discovery could challenge current ideas about how galaxies formed in the early universe.

"In science fiction, there are scenes where a beam is fired at something to destroy it, causing an explosion with debris flying back at the shooter. Similar things occur in real astronomical phenomena, but with greater intensity."

Physicists from the University of Copenhagen have begun using the gigantic magnetic fields of galaxy clusters to observe distant black holes in their search for an elusive particle that has stumped scientists for decades.

A new microscope allows scientists to watch electrons shake graphene’s atoms in real time, revealing something called "phasons."

Let us imagine for a moment that the new interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS is a spacecraft, guided to send mini-probes that will arrive at…
