A key to humans’ survival might have been sunscreen, tailored clothing

International oversight would reduce risks, but could be "a politically sensitive and contentious matter."

Astronomers have discovered Kepler-725c, a potentially habitable super-Earth in the habitable zone of a Sun-like star.

Today, two new papers about 3I/ATLAS were posted online. The first (accessible here) shows the spectrum of 3I/ATLAS, taken the 4.1-meter…

A team of theoretical researchers used thermal effective theory to demonstrate that quantum entanglement follows universal rules across all dimensions. Their study was published online in Physical Review Letters.

It's possible our movement through the galaxy may affect our climate.

"It's as if our teenage rover is maturing, and we're trusting it to take on more responsibility."

ESA’s Hera mission has captured images of asteroids (1126) Otero and (18805) Kellyday. Though distant and faint, the early observations serve as both a successful instrument test and a demonstration of agile spacecraft operations that could prove useful for p…

The M4.4 solar flare unleashed a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space — and Earth might just receive a glancing blow.

Researchers at the University of Southern California turn to an overlooked type of anyons to remove the fragility of qubits.

A British scientist claims humans could one day live for 1,000 years—if we undo a genetic legacy dating back to the time of dinosaurs.

China is drilling one of the deepest holes ever attempted—down to 10,000 meters—through layers of Earth's crust untouched for millions of years.

A tale of deception, tragedy, and some really interesting science.

The caldera may have blasted out its cryomagma in a single explosive event, or it may have spread its eruptions over time.

Eight of its journals will publish papers open-access each year they earn sufficient library revenue.

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have identified a promising nonpharmaceutical treatment that rejuvenates aging brain cells and clears away the buildup of harmful proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease.

In its latest postcard from Mars, the European Space Agency’s Mars Express returns to Acheron Fossae: a dramatic network of chasms carved into the surface of the Red Planet.

Three nano-glass spheres cling to one another. They form a tower-like cluster, similar to when you pile three scoops of ice cream on top of one another—only much smaller. The diameter of the nano cluster is ten times smaller than that of a human hair.

The one app I never expected is what has helped me become more mindful of the present moment.

Imagine a gamma ray laser that safely eliminates cancer cells while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. A University of Colorado Denver engineer is close to providing researchers with a powerful new tool that could bring science fiction concepts closer to realit…

By recreating extreme conditions found inside deep space interstellar clouds, scientists have produced methanetetrol, or C(OH)4 – a 'super alcohol' that was long theorized about but never actually seen before.

Scientists identify Vibrio pectenicida as the bacterium causing sea star wasting disease.

Here’s why August 12 won’t be the best day to view the meteor shower and when California residents should try to see the Perseids event.
