ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) will launch in April 2023 from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on an Ariane 5 rocket.Just 28 minutes after liftoff, the Ariane 5 will release Juice into space. But the spacecraft will not be left to fend f…

Harmakhis Vallis is an approximately 800-kilometer long outflow channel located in eastern Hellas.

A new occupational hazard for astronomers just dropped — and it's all because the James Webb Space Telescope is, perhaps, a little too good at its job.

“Hongkui's work has transformed our understanding of the brain. Her bold leadership of a large-scale project to define all the different types of cells that constitute the brain has changed the field of neuroscience, laying the groundwork for understanding wh…

The remains are the southernmost dinosaur fossils recorded outside Antarctica. The fossils provide more information into the meteorite that may have led to the dinosaurs' extinction some 65 million years ago.

NASA is taking a break from attempts to unfurl a finicky solar array on the Lucy spacecraft, claiming that the...

One of the most exciting applications of quantum computers will be to direct their gaze inwards, at the very quantum rules that make them tick. Quantum computers can be used to simulate quantum physics itself, and perhaps even explore realms that don't exist …

NASA announced Thursday its new Mars Sample Receiving Project office, responsible for receiving and curating the first samples returned from the Red Planet, will be located at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The safe and rapid release of Mars sa…

Heavy metals such as lead and cadmium are present in batteries, cosmetics, food and other things that are part of everyday life. They are toxic when they accumulate in the human organism, potentially causing several health problems, but detecting them in body…

A radio signal announced in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society is the most distant signal ever received, which could shed light on how our universe formed.

A large fireball illuminated the night sky over Missouri and Oklahoma, and was caught on camera by one man's doorbell camera.

The Artemis Accords will describe a shared vision for principles, grounded in the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, to create a safe and transparent environment which facilitates exploration, science, and commercial activities for all of humanity to enjoy, said NAS…

Like forensic investigators, scientists can use molecular techniques to detect evidence of Antarctic krill in seawater samples collected in the Southern Ocean. The revolutionary technology can identify Antarctic krill DNA within the alphabet soup of DNA molec…

PARIS: Far below our feet, a giant may have started moving against us. Earth's inner core, a hot iron ball the size of Pluto, has stopped spinning in the same direction as the rest of the planet and might even be rotating the other way, research suggested on …

Sea spiders can regrow body parts after amputation and not just limbs, according to a study released on Monday that may pave the way for further scientific research into regeneration.

Researchers have made a significant leap forward in developing insect-sized jumping robots capable of performing tasks in the small spaces often found in mechanical, agricultural and search-and-rescue settings. A new study demonstrates a series of click beetl…

If you’ve been looking for a practical example of using GNU Radio, you should check out [Daniel Estévez’s] work on decoding telemetry captured from the Lunar Flashlight cubesat. The cub…

James Webb snapped a stunning image of the coldest ice ever measure in space, which is also found to feature ethane, sulfur, nitrogen and ethanol - the 'building blocks of life.'

A green comet, which is named as Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), will be at its closest to Earth next week. This rare fly-by will be one of the very best comet sightings of 2023.

The asteroid has survived in space for nearly as long as the solar system has existed

Wolves on an Alaskan island caused a deer population to plumet and switched to primarily eating sea otters in just a few years, a finding scientists at Oregon State University and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game believe is the first case of sea otters …

Bacteria of the genus Enterobacter are among the most dangerous bacteria associated with hospital infections worldwide. Some of their representatives are highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics, so that the reserve antibiotic colistin is increasingly us…

Scientists hope these animals will suggest ways to better repair limbs and tissue in people

Cutting-edge imaging tools can help scientists around the world visualize cells, organs, and entire systems within the human body — which can lead to breakthroughs in our understanding of health and…
