NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has spotted the coldest cloud of interstellar ice ever discovered.

Scientific Reports - Metabolic profiles and fingerprints for the investigation of the influence of nitisinone on the metabolism of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The design allows the integration of sensors and other components that could eventually equip the robots to detect biomarkers of disease, carry out biopsies or perform surgery.

A volcano or mudslide likely caused the rock formation. It's the latest in a string of amusing images spotted by NASA spacecraft on Mars.

"...essentially, we took the H9 thruster and made a muscle car out of it by turning it up to 11—really up to a hundred..."

A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in Spain, working with two colleagues from France and another from Germany has discovered an Obsidian handaxe-making workshop from 1.2 million years ago in the Awash valley in Ethiopia. In their paper…

In recent years, many physicists and computer scientists have been working on the development of quantum computing technologies. These technologies are based on qubits, the basic units of quantum information.

Scientists have built a real-life tractor beam that can pull actual objects using nothing but light.But it has one big drawback: it's absolutely tiny.

Building off a breakthrough "anti-laser," a team of researchers has developed a system that can direct light and other electromagnetic waves for signal processing without any unwanted signal reflections—an innovation that could advance local area networks, th…

Using the European VLBI Network (EVN), an international team of astronomers has performed high-resolution imaging observations of a powerful and radio-loud high-redshift quasar known as J2102+6015. Results of the observational campaign, presented January 18 o…

Agency rebuts Office for Students report which ‘substantially misrepresents’ role in assessing higher education providers, as major rift exposed

River delta ecosystems are rich in life, which is why the Perseverance rover is exploring an ancient river delta on Mars.

The convergence of two spacecraft at Venus in August 2021 has given a unique insight into how the planet is able to retain its thick atmosphere without the protection of a global magnetic field.

In this work the authors investigate the structure-sequence dependance. The ability to design and characterize proteins at interfaces between three common folds suggests that fold switching is an intrinsic feature of protein folding language and likely import…

NTR propulsion is more efficient than current methods and expands options for future deep space missions.

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

It was discovered on Saturday from an observatory in Crimea.

Background The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is one of the most invasive species and a vector of numerous arboviruses. The deleterious effects of long-term and inappropriate use of chemical pesticides have stimulated the exploration of new, environm…

Astronomers have developed a powerful technique for identifying starspots, according to research presented this month at the 241st meeting of the American Astro

Model predicts the patterns on curved, tubular structures that shrink or grow.
