One of the main jobs for the Perseverance Mars rover past few weeks has been collecting carefully selected samples of Mars rock and soil. These samples have been placed and sealed in special sample tubes and left in well-identified places so that a future sam…

The structure of two-dimensional titanium oxide brakes-up at high temperatures by adding barium; instead of regular hexagons, rings of four, seven and ten atoms are created that order aperiodically.

Peter Gierasch, a Cornell astronomer whose mathematical models unveiled the tempestuous eddies and atmospheric tumult arising on other worlds, died Jan. 20 in Ithaca. He was 82.

A recently retired scientist from NASA has explained how to terraform mars. But the concept isn’t widely accepted by the planetary community.

Fossilized bones help tell the story of what human beings and our predecessors were doing hundreds of thousands of years ago. But how can you learn about important parts of our ancestors' life cycle—like pregnancy or gestation—that leave no obvious trace in t…

(Rostock, January 25, 2023) By using ultrafast laser flashes, scientists at the University of Rostock in collaboration with researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart have generated and measured the shortest electron pulse t…

If you like science, support the SETI Institute! We're a non-profit research institution whose focus is understanding the nature and origins of life in the u...

Curtin University-led research into the durability and age of an ancient asteroid made of rocky rubble and dust, revealed significant findings that could contribute to potentially saving the planet if one ever hurtled toward Earth. The international team stud…

The residents of Hawaii were in for a freaky surprise when a blue spiral was spotted in the night sky in the region.

SpaceX early Thursday launched yet another batch of Starlink satellites into orbit from Florida’s Space Coast.

A truck-sized asteroid will pass near Earth on Thursday in one of the closest approaches to our planet ever recorded, NASA said, emphasising that it poses no danger.

NASA will test the spacecraft’s asteroid-tracking navigation system during the impromptu encounter, slated for November.

There’s been a slight change to Lucy’s already-impressive itinerary. The NASA spacecraft, currently en route to visit Jupiter’s mysterious Trojan...

The Webb telescope recently observed an icy object lying between the planets Saturn and Uranus eclipsing a star. It also detected signs of crystalline water.

PADDINGTON is known for being well-traveled but no-one expected to see our furry friend on Mars. Experts noticed markings on the Red Planet that look just like the marmalade-loving bear. The struct…

A stopwatch to investigate what happens inside living cells at a thousandth of a millisecond scale: this is the open-source platform BrightEyes-TTM developed by the research team led by Giuseppe Vicidomini at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Insti…

A proposed density functional approximation (DFA) recommender outperforms the use of a single functional by selecting the optimal exchange-correlation functional for a given system.

The structure of two-dimensional titanium oxide breaks up at high temperatures when one adds barium; instead of regular hexagons, rings of four, seven and ten atoms are created that order aperiodically.

Many-body localization destroyed in chains of ultracold atoms.

Scientists have discovered the first gamma-ray eclipses from a special type of binary star system using data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.

Named Funcusvermis gilmorei, it lived at the beginning of the age of the dinosaurs

Structural basis of crRNA processing, target RNA cleavage and regulation of auto-immunity in the Cas7-11-crRNA complex of Desulfonema ishimotonii.

There is tremendous interest in the development of drugs that target senescent cells (‘senolytic’ drugs) to treat a range of age-related morbidities. However, studies in mice that demonstrate impaired tissue repair following clearance of senescent cells raise…

Nanotechnology researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have made novel carbon nanotube yarns that convert mechanical movement into electricity more effectively than other material-based energy harvesters.

A team of researchers developed a gene-editing technique that uses zinc-finger editing and AI for quicker, safer genetic therapy.
