Jupiter has been declared the planet with the most moons in our solar system, according to astronomers. It follows a recent discovery of 12 new moons orbiting the gas giant, bringing the total number to 92. Jupiter takes the top spot from Saturn, which curr…

Present-day Mars is cold and dry, but mineralogical and morphological evidence shows that liquid-water existed on the surface of ancient Mars.

Tonight Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) will be visible close to the planet Mars.

Jaipur: About two years ago, a team of geologists led by a US Prof Gregory Ratllack discovered about 550-million-year-old fossil ‘Dickinsonia’ from th.

We know volcanoes can cause dramatic shifts in the atmosphere when they erupt, but what about those long stretches of time when they appear to have fallen silent? A new study suggests that dormant volcanoes could be leaking out much more sulfur than...

A ring scientists had thought could not exist has been found around a planet in our solar system.

Researchers from Texas A&M University investigated variations in the electrochemical energies that power bacterial growth to understand how bacteria develop antibiotic tolerance without acquiring new genes or mutating existing ones. These energies are intense…

With a big assist from artificial intelligence and a heavy dose of human touch, Tim Cernak's lab at the University of Michigan made a discovery that dramatically speeds up the time-consuming chemical process of building molecules that will be tomorrow's medic…

Modeling the effects of earthquakes on homes, businesses, and infrastructure is about to get a lot easier, thanks to advanced simulations performed on the world's fastest supercomputers.

EMBL researchers are stepping outside the lab and using novel experimental approaches to understand the basic principles that underlie the emergence of phenotypes – observable traits of organisms. In two new studies led by Justin Crocker, EMBL Heidelberg Gro…

Thanks to a study recently published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, a team of University of Montana researchers are closer to understanding how one particular organism, the salmonfly, may react to the rising freshwater temperatures of our changing wo…

New information about an emerging technique that could track microplastics from space has been uncovered by researchers at the University of Michigan. It turns out that satellites are best at spotting soapy or oily residue, and microplastics appear to tag alo…

Most biologists have assumed that ants wander aimlessly around a new environment. New research from the University of Arizona suggests that one species of rock ants actually searches in a more methodical way. The ants followed a systematic meandering pattern …

Ongoing climate change driven by greenhouse gas emissions is often discussed in terms of global average warming. For example, the landmark Paris Agreement seeks to limit global warming to 1.5 ⁰C, relative to pre-industrial levels. However, the extent of futu…

Hydrogen fuel could be a more viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels, according to University of Surrey researchers who have found that a type of metal-free catalysts could contribute to the development of cost-effective and sustainable hydrogen produ…

Iron-sulfur clusters, which are found in proteins that are essential to human health, have been difficult to profile. Boston College chemists have developed a proteomic platform to monitor the presence or absence of iron-sulfur clusters, offering greater insi…

With a big assist from artificial intelligence and a heavy dose of human touch, a lab made a discovery that dramatically speeds up the time-consuming chemical process of building molecules that will be tomorrow's medicines, agrichemicals or materials.

Ongoing climate change driven by greenhouse gas emissions is often discussed in terms of global average warming. For example, the landmark Paris Agreement seeks to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C, relative to pre-industrial levels. However, the extent o…

In the ongoing search for signs of life on Mars, a new study proposes focusing on 'time-resolved analogs' -- dynamic and similar Earth environments where changes can be analyzed over many years.

Scientists have discovered that when telomeres become very short, they communicate with mitochondria, the cell's powerhouses. This communication triggers a complex set of signaling pathways and initiates an inflammatory response that destroys cells that could…

Scientists identify a molecule key to the development of progeria, a lethal disease that causes hyper-accelerated ageing.

Space-based geoengineering is filled with creative, sometimes outlandish ideas — but they often aren't seen as feasible.

A green comet beside a red planet is the prize for sky-watchers this week.
