In the previous plan, Curiosity conducted a preliminary assessment of the potential drill target “Encanto” (as seen in the above MAHLI image) and today we received the data.

Investigating the interplay between the structure of water molecules that have been incorporated into layered materials such as clays and the configuration of i

These ultracool dwarf stars are so close together they orbit one another in less than one Earth day. Definitely no habitable planets here.

Behold a "gargantuan astronomical data tapestry" of our glorious home galaxy.

The conveyor belt helps transport an essential agricultural fertilizer from the remote reaches of Western Sahara to farmlands across the world.

Crew members aboard the International Space Station conducted scientific investigations during the week of Jan. 16 that included supporting student experiments on microgravity, examining fluids on the verge of boiling, and demonstrating technology for passive…

When it comes to exploration, robots can outperform astronauts at a far lower cost and without risk of human life.  Why, then, do so many people conceive of

What looks to be a meteor was seen throughout Northwest Arkansas into Oklahoma early Friday morning.

An apparent micrometeoroid strike on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft will keep three astronauts aloft for longer than planned.

Careful siting of renewable energy development seems to play a key role in minimizing impacts to wildlife, but this requires detailed knowledge of where animals

Ingenuity, NASA's first helicopter on Mars, continues to overachieve more than a year into its demonstration mission.

Physicists at the University of Bonn have experimentally proven that an important theorem of statistical physics applies to so-called "Bose-Einstein condensates." Their results now make it possible to measure certain properties of the quantum “superparticles”…

Scientists have advanced in discovering how to use ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves to peer back to the beginning of everything we know.

Astronomers detected a radio signal from deeper in space than ever before, using a cosmic trick first predicted by Einstein.

Nicole Mann is the first Native American woman in space.

The case is a rare securities class-action trial in which the judge has already ruled the carmaker founder’s tweet was reckless

Researchers have experimentally detected the structural change of hydration water confined in the tiny nano-scale pores of layered materials such as clays. Their findings potentially open the door to new options for ion separation and energy storage.

The Titan Dragonfly is coming together, NASA is considering a new kind of nuclear rocket, getting more warning for solar flares, and pinpointing carbon emiss...

A rare green comet is flying past Earth in late January and early February.Comet ZTF hasn't passed our planet since the last Ice Age, and humans may never

A phenomenon called "skyglow" is stealing our celestial view, and the impact is far more dramatic when observed by the unaided human eye.

Physicists have experimentally proven that an important theorem of statistical physics applies to so-called 'Bose-Einstein condensates.' Their results now make it possible to measure certain properties of the quantum 'superparticles' and deduce system charact…

Researchers have used 3D model reconstructions of a bizarre trilobite — an ancient shelled sea creature — to understand why it grew a trident as long as its whole body on its head.

Just ask! Why do the planets shine like stars?

The milestone will be hard to see, but it will be felt.
