The James Webb Space Telescope is so precise it can find rings around a tiny icy world a over two billion miles away.

Asteroid 2023 BU, just discovered a few days ago, is roughly the size of a truck.

Teenagers are new to driving, plus they have a lot going on. Combine these two factors together, and you have a 17-year-old who gets into a fender bender right in his driveway. “I’m blo…

PARIS, Jan 26 — As part of the Nasa Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) programme, the US space agency is funding a programme to develop a nuclear-powered rocket. If this...

The oldest-known fossil of a worm-like amphibian known as a caecilian is reported in this week’s Nature. The finding sheds light on the origins of caecilians and their position in the amphibian

Mitochondria, the so-called powerhouse of the cells, are responsible for the energy supply of the organism and fulfill functions in metabolic and signaling processes.

In early February 2023, a unique comet that was last seen by the Neanderthals is...

Much of the winter snow gear we use, and a few of the activities we take part in, are owed to Indigenous Arctic peoples’ adaptation to their environment

An asteroid the size of a delivery truck will whip past Earth on Thursday night, one of the closest such encounters ever recorded. NASA insists it will be a...

The United States plans to test a spacecraft engine powered by nuclear fission by 2027 as part of a long-term NASA effort to demonstrate more efficient methods of propelling astronauts to Mars in the future, the space agency’s chief said on Tuesday.

Research findings related to friction could improve the design of personal prosthetic devices and sustainable energy systems

Synaptic pruning occurs as a result of mechanical tearing, a new study reveals.

Professor John Vidale of the University of Southern California joined Matty McLean on Breakfast to discuss the mysteries of the Earth's core.

Machine learning drives the self-discovery of pulses that stabilize quantum systems in the face of environmental noise. Controlling the trajectory of a basketball is relatively straightforward, as it only requires the application of mechanical force and human…

Humans and animals all have chemical and microbial signatures that influence their well-being in one way or another. In medicine, the use of probiotics rather than antibiotics has become high on the agenda. However, humans and animals are not the only ones wh…

Starting at the surface, you would have to dig nearly 2,000 miles before reaching Earth’s core. No one could survive that trip – and the 10,000-degree Fahrenheit heat once there would vaporize you anyway.

In 2013, Felipe Braga-Ribas and collaborators, using ground-based telescopes, discovered that Chariklo hosts a system of two thin rings. Such rings had been expected only around large planets such as Jupiter and Neptune.

A mysterious spiral of light in the sky captured by a telescope in Hawaii has been identified, and it’s not a bird, plane or flying saucer.

You might have to travel a half a billion light years from the Milky Way to find another cosmological wall with a galaxy like ours.

SpaceX recently launched a satellite to help improve GPS and navigation. Here are the details about the launch and how investors may be able to profit from it.

NASA is in early-stage discussions with SpaceX to possibly modify its Crew Dragon spacecraft.

A recent study published in the journal Nature Communications investigates the relationship between water structure and ion storage in layered materials.
