A novel PPPL device has now confirmed a 30-year-old theory about the puzzling formation of planets, stars and supermassive black holes.

The sky is a hazy shade of — er, summer — on Mars, as captured in a new image by...

MIT researchers are stacking microLEDs for super dense displays that will significantly improve future AR glasses and VR headsets.

Astronomers have discovered 12 new moons around Jupiter, putting the total count at a record-breaking 92

Researchers have detected fluctuations in Earth's magnetosphere created by the same tidal forces that the moon exerts on the oceans.

Gravitational microlensing has allowed astronomers to make the first-ever direct measurement of a white dwarf's mass.

A study suggests the Earth’s inner core, which rotates independently from Earth’s surface, slowed down — but it didn’t stop or reverse direction.

Scientists can't explain the formation of the bizarre Gruithuisen Domes, found in a dark patch on the moon's near side.

New research has revealed that the process of ‘peopling’ the entire continent of Sahul — the combined mega continent that joined Australia with New Guinea

How did Super-Massive Black Holes form? How have they grown so massive? Ancient actively-accreting black holes like this one must hold clues.

Genetic engineering and personalized cell therapies could transform health care. MIT Associate Professor Cullen Buie reflects on how his company, Kytopen, has grown and shifted focus in developing safer immunotherapies.

Matt Friedman wasn't looking for a brain when he scanned a 319 million-year-old fossilized fish skull, but that's just what he found.

Molecular dynamics simulations of multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1) with varying membrane composition suggest that the composition has limited impact on the structures, but rather affects the conformational transitions and kinetics of substrate transport.

MIT researchers are working toward new cybersteels developed with computing technology. Future applications of these advanced materials include printed aircraft components and ship hulls that are harder to detect.

In this Review, the authors discuss our latest understanding of evolutionary genetic changes that are specific to humans, which might endow uniquely human traits and capabilities. They describe how new cellular and molecular approaches are helping to decipher…

Insights may lead to more energy-efficient chips and electronic devices.

With temperatures on the moon ranging from minus 410 to a scorching 250 degrees Fahrenheit, it's an understatement to say that humans will need habitats with heat and air conditioning to survive there long term.

The Full Snow Moon will be joined by a few guests this year.

Models show that four closely spaced eruptions would have interfered with Nile River patterns that aided farmers.

Based on all the dust Ingenuity helicopter kicked up, a team of researchers has completed the first real-world study of Martian dust dynamics.

Everything that happens on our planet above the ground is taking place in Earth’s protective envelope called the atmosphere.

A new study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, suggests birds that dive underwater will become extinct before non-diving ones

A new study shows that a calculation method used by international measurement networks creates a systematic bias in carbon balance estimates for northern ecosystems. The study, led by the Finnish Meteorological Institute, shows that a machine learning method …

Rocks, rain and carbon dioxide help control Earth’s climate over thousands of years — like a thermostat — through a process called weathering. A new study led by Penn State scientists may improve our understanding of how this thermostat responds as temperatur…
