The Charles Darwin Foundation-led research holds importance due to the discovery of a new species of this type of alga, previously mostly found in colder waters. María Altamirano, a researcher from the University of Malaga's Department of Botany and Plant Phy…

SpaceX successfully launched the Amazonas Nexus telecoms satellite which will fuel Spanish operator Hispasat’s Americas expansion.

NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) mega rocket is ready to carry out manned trips after having shown satisfactory results in its first test. The SLS is […]

Researchers used a chemical synthesis robot and computationally cost effective A.I. model to successfully predict and validate highly selective catalysts. Artificial intelligence (A.I.) has made ...

A bright infrared light blazing from two galaxies in the process of merging has just been yanked out of hiding.

Molecules ‘kill so efficiently that we named them after Keanu Reeves because he, too, is extremely deadly in his roles’

Scientists discovered a new type of medium-density ice. It works similarly to when oil is mixed with water.

Neanderthals living 90,000 years ago in a seafront cave, in what's now Portugal, regularly caught crabs, roasted them on coals and ate the cooked flesh, according to a new study.

Astronomers found this planet using the radial velocity method, so even though it's close, the JWST can't study its atmosphere. Too bad.

SpaceX used their Falcon 9 rocket to launch a 9,000-pound satellite into orbit on Monday evening from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The launch is currently scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 9 and the two Improved-Orion suborbital sounding rockets will be sent beyond the stratosphere between 8-10 a.m. EST.

Researchers at UCL and the University of Cambridge have discovered a new type of ice that more closely resembles liquid water than any other known ices and that may rewrite our understanding of wa ...

Researchers at Indiana University Bloomington have uncovered previously hidden steps of a gene silencing process used to combat viruses and other would-be genome invaders. The new findings, published in Genes & Development, report the work of a team led by fi…

Researchers led by Osaka University used cryogenic electron microscopy to analyze the atomic structure of the centromeric region of the chromosome, essential for cell division. A protein called CENP-A marks the centromere; the researchers showed that during i…

Ferroelectric semiconductors are contenders for bridging mainstream computing with next generation architectures, and now a team at the University of Michigan has made them just five nanometers thick—a span of just 50 or so atoms.

The UK’s laundry releases microfibres weighing the equivalent of up to 1,500 double-decker buses in microfibres every year, according to new research.

Engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, have finished testing the high-gain antenna for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. When it launches by May 2027, this NASA observatory will help unravel the secrets of dark energy and…

Arizona State University has officially begun a new chapter in X-ray science with a newly commissioned, first-of-its-kind instrument that will help scientists see deeper into matter and living things. The device, called the compact X-ray light source (CXLS), …

The universe's carbon atoms complete a journey that spans eons -- forming in the hearts of dying stars, then becoming a part of planets and even living organisms. Now, a team has uncovered the chemistry behind one tiny, but critical, step in this process.

Scientists have discovered a new layer of partly molten rock under the Earth's crust that might help settle a long-standing debate about how tectonic plates move. The molten layer is located about 100 miles from the surface and is part of the asthenosphere, w…

Accelerated climate change is a major and acute threat to life on Earth. Rising temperatures are caused  atmospheric methane which is 30-times more potent than CO2 at trapping heat. Microbes are r ...

As part of its efforts to land humans on the Moon this decade, NASA is building three huge rockets at the same time!

A team of Chinese scientists and their overseas counterparts have, for the first time, discovered evidence of a lunar tide-induced signal in the Earth's plasmasphere, the inner region of the magnetosphere below the Earth's crust, which is filled with cold pla…

Astronomers have observed 12 additional moons orbiting this planet, bringing its total number of confirmed moons to 92.
