An extra seat will accommodate a NASA astronaut left stranded after a micrometeorite damaged a Russian Soyuz spacecraft last month.

Juice satellite is scheduled to be launched in April this year.

NASA’s nearly 33-year-old observatory still has plenty of top science to do, and astronomers want to extend its lifetime.

<p>&quot;We investigated this supposed &#x27;fact&#x27; and found it has no scientific basis. It is not true in any quantifiable way.&quot;</p>

The James Webb Space Telescope has for the first time peered inside a planet-forming disk of dust surrounding a nearby star, a development promising to supercharge the search for exoplanets.

So far, this is the farthest galaxy in our universe to send us a special radio wave called the 21-cm line.

The sortie on Thursday (Jan. 19) covered about 584 feet (178 meters).

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have developed a new, more accurate computational tool for long-read RNA sequencing. The tool, called Error Statistics Promoted Evaluator of Splice Site Options, described Friday in <em>Science Advances</em>,…

An Aston University researcher has created the first ever computer reconstruction of a virus, including its complete native genome. Although other researchers have created similar reconstructions, this is the first to replicate the exact chemical and 3D struc…

An MIT research team has discovered a way to grow 2D materials using silicon wafers which could help produce smaller transistors needed to keep Moore's Law alive.

<p>A room-temperature technique produces nanocrystals of tunable sizes and optical properties. </p>

And it would be strangely beautiful to behold.

Tiny but bright flashes in the sun's corona that precede solar flares could help astronomers predict when the next one might occur.

Laura A. Dawson, MD, FRCPC, discusses findings from the NRG/RTOG 1112 study of stereotactic body radiation therapy followed by sorafenib vs sorafenib alone in hepatocellular carcinoma.

On the journey from gene to protein, a nascent RNA molecule can be cut and joined, or spliced, in different ways before being translated into a protein. This process, known as alternative splicing, allows a single gene to encode several different proteins. Al…

Two crew members on the International Space Station (ISS) carried out a spacewalk on Friday, January 20, to finish assembling two mounting platforms for the space station’s new solar arrays, NASA said. Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata and NASA astronaut Nicol…

Scientists have studied a vast array of animals that have long lives. Are there some that can help humans more than others?

There are somewhere between 20 and 74,963 forms of ice because water can do all kinds of weird stuff when it freezes.

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"…

Although enhancers and promoters appear to coordinate their actions, it is unclear how this happens

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. The researchers say they can better understand the state of the cosmos shortly after the Big Bang by lea…
