The plant Nicotiana benthamiana, from the Solanaceae family, is one of the most widely used experimental models in plant science. In 2020, a research group at Nagoya University in Japan reported that N. benthamiana could be grafted with plants from different …

A Russian KOSMOS 2499 satellite broke up last month – for a second time – according to the Space Force's 18th Space Defense Squadron.

NASA's Curiosity rover has found wave-rippled rocks – evidence of an ancient lake – in an area of the planet expected to be drier, the US space agency said Wednesday.

It may also appear more orange or red.

Respect for human rights is one of the central goals of democracies. Wars and displacement, however, continue to pose major challenges to these universal rights, as Russia's current war in Ukraine or the "refugee crisis" in 2015/16 dramatically demonstrate. I…

Over the course of billions of years, galaxies grow and evolve by forging new stars and merging with other galaxies through aptly named "galactic immigration" events. Astronomers try to uncover the histories of these immigration events by studying the motions…

A mysterious blue spiral dazzled viewers who saw when it appeared in the sky above the Big Island of Hawaii. The spiral stemmed from rocket fuel from a SpaceX launch.

NASA has a plan to install a giant radio telescope into a crater on the far side of the moon that won’t be obstructed by Earth’s ionosphere.

Boston College chemists have developed a strategy to monitor the presence or absence of iron-sulfur clusters, which are essential to the function of diverse proteins, the team reported recently in the journal Nature Chemical Biology.

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 futur…

A new study suggests that the Hubble Constant could be resolved by the presence of a "New Early Dark Energy" (NEDE) in the early Universe.

Russia kept the Kosmos 2499 satellite's mission a secret, even after its bizarre maneuvers drew attention. Now it may have exploded in orbit.

Carnegie Mellon Ph.D. student Ann-Marsha Alexis was awarded the John Peoples Jr. Fellowship in Physics.

Lunar Flashlight is now targeting high-Earth orbit, with monthly moon flybys.

Cornell researchers have unearthed precise, microscopic clues to where magma is stored, offering scientists—and government officials in populated areas—a way to better assess the risk of volcanic eruptions.

Common approaches to analyze DNA from a community of microbes, called a microbiome, can yield erroneous results, in large part due to the incomplete databases used to identify microbial DNA sequences, according to a new study.

Photographers have captured breaktaking photos of rare rainbow clouds in the sky that look like auroras, but are something else entirely.

Use the Rich Result Test to see what Google results can be generated for your pages and the schema markup validator for generic schema validation.

As Ingenuity scouts for Mars sample return, NASA says the milestone flight and larger Perseverance rover mission represents 'the meaning of life, the universe and everything.'

NASA conducts the first successful full duration hot fire test of a new massive RS-25 rocket engine for the SLS rocket.

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…

Dust launched from the moon's surface or from a space station positioned between Earth and the sun could reduce enough solar radiation to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
