Because the launch will take place just a few minutes after sunset, those on the Space Coast will see what’s called a jellyfish effect.

Using data from two climate monitoring satellites, a group led by Canadian researchers tracked carbon emissions from a single coal plant in Europe.

NASA instrument to explore exoplanet clouds on European spacecraft WASHINGTON (Xinhua): The U.S. space agency NASA is planning to attach an instrument to a European spacecraft that will explore the exoplanets’ clouds for the first time. NASA’s Jet Propulsion …

Scientists at Brookhaven Lab have successfully demonstrated that autonomous methods can discover new materials. The artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technique led to the discovery of three new nanostructures, including a first-of-its-kind nanoscale “ladder…

Dragonfly, NASA’s unique robotic exploration mission using a rotorcraft to fly a science laboratory around…

Madagascar is home to a unique biodiversity with a large number of endemic species, among those many lemur species, including the mouse lemurs. This diversity is also found in their retroviruses. Biologists analyzed the mouse lemur genome and identified virus…

Scientists have successfully demonstrated that autonomous methods can discover new materials. The artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technique led to the discovery of three new nanostructures, including a first-of-its-kind nanoscale 'ladder.'

Seemingly spontaneously coordinated swarm behavior exhibited by large groups of animals is a fascinating and striking collective phenomenon. Experiments conducted on laser-controlled synthetic microswimmers now show that supposed swarm intelligence can someti…

Disturbances to Earth’s magnetic field can lead birds astray — a phenomenon scientists call “vagrancy” — even in perfect weather, and especially during fall migration. While other factors such as weather likely play bigger roles in causing vagrancy, UCLA rese…

JWST has spotted three tiny, distant galaxies that could solve a long-standing cosmic mystery.

The science of nuclear fusion is very complex. But at its core, the problem boils down to three basic and easy to understand ideas. Nuclear fusion is all ove...

ICON, a company out of Austin, is building a 3D printing robotic arm that will be sent to the moon to do the construction but can be controlled from Earth.

A recently discovered green comet, whose last journey past Earth was tens of thousands of years ago, will make its next trip past our blue planet in the coming weeks.

There's lots of oxygen on the Moon, but it's trapped in the regolith and the ice. Could a pipeline move the oxygen to where we need it?

It was as if the crocodile had teleported to the '90s to hunt amid the famous teal carpet of the Portland International Airport.

The latest Tweet by SpaceX states, 'All systems and weather are looking good for tomorrow’s Falcon Heavy launch of the USSF-67 mission from Florida'

Bill Gates answered questions from Reddit users this week and he fielded a handful of questions about climate change, including what individuals can do to help.

Humans and chimpanzees differ in only one percent of their DNA. Human accelerated regions (HARs) are parts of the genome with an unexpected amount of these diff

Sitting in a single spot, the Mars InSight probe has returned a trove of valuable data about the structure of the neighboring planet, according to a UVA environmental scientist.

It can pogo-stick along at 50-plus miles per hour, leaping 30-odd feet in a single bound. But that platinum-medal athleticism falls by the wayside at a sub-Saharan riverside, the source of life and death for the skittish impala stilling itself for a

It seems logical enough that bad weather can sometimes cause birds to become disoriented during their annual fall migrations -- causing them to wind up in territory they're unaccustomed to. But why, even when weather is not a major factor, do birds t

Disturbances to Earth's magnetic field can lead birds astray -- a phenomenon scientists call 'vagrancy' -- even in perfect weather, and especially during fall migration. While other factors such as weather likely play bigger roles in causing vagrancy, researc…

Larger than the Milky Way, this wave managed to form a mysterious hydrogen "recycling plant" in one of space's scariest regions.

Understanding how dust grains form in interstellar gas could offer significant insights to astronomers and help materials scientists develop useful nanoparticles.

Automatic code suggestion is now a common software engineering tool thanks to recent developments in deep learning. A for-profit 'AI pair programmer' called GitHub Copilot was unveiled in June 2021 by GitHub and OpenAI. Depending on the surrounding code and c…
