A new paper published in Nature Astronomy is shedding light on magnetars, whose attributes remain poorly understood. A magnetar is a type of neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field that rotates once every two to ten seconds.

A new method to study specific changes in DNA after replication has been published as a technical report in Nature Cell Biology. Researchers developed a highly sensitive, quantitative mass spectrometry-based approach, called iDEMS (isolation of DNA by EdU lab…

A new study describes why older male fruit flies are more likely to pass on mutations, potentially shining a light on inherited-disease risk in humans.

Repeated blasts of energy that are coming from deep in space could finally solve one of the universe’s deepest mysteries, according to researchers.

A severe agriculture drought swept Central Asia in 2021 in its early growing season, causing mass die-offs of crops and livestock and leading to increased food prices.

Twin reports released Thursday by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found the last nine years were the hottest nine on record, with 2022 being the warmest La Niña year ever recorded.

The researchers Anastasios “Andy” Tzanidakis and James Davenport have gained attraction in uncommon stars on their own.

Astronomer Jackie Faherty outlines the most exciting sky events you can put on your calendar in 2023, from eclipses to meteor showers and more.

It was an anomaly detected in the storm of a nuclear reactor so puzzling that physicists hoped it would shine a light on dark matter, one of the universe's...

Astronomers discover Milky Way galaxy's most-distant stars

The first image from ShadowCam reveals the permanently shadowed wall and floor of Shackleton crater in incredible, never before seen detail.

Two teams of astronomers using ESA’s XMM-Newton space telescope have observed repeated outbursts of light from inactive black holes that partially destroy stars again and again. This discovery is unexpected, since outbursts of black holes usually appear only …

This is the first time that carbon dioxide emissions from a human-made source have been accurately measured from space.

Unlike the James Webb Space Telescope, the Habitable World Observatory will be serviceable by autonomous robots in space.

As you are reading this, more than 400 miles below you is a massive world of extreme temperatures and pressures that has been churning and evolving for longer than humans have been on the planet. Now, a detailed new model from Caltech researchers illustrates …

What you're actually looking at is an area of the Moon that is in total darkness.

Southwestern Madagascar was once a tortoise hotspot, with multiple species of the giant reptiles roaming alongside their much smaller cousins.

A number of important sci-tech events deserve a place on the calendar of 2023.

Researchers charted the magnetic field of the Local Bubble, which is thought to play a key role in star formation.

The wave, which measured a four-storied building, was recorded by a sea buoy in November 2020.

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) will reach perihelion on Jan. 12.

Using the QUIJOTE experiment, scientists are producing the most accurate description of the polarization in the microwave emission processes

The Curiosity rover is currently exploring the Gale crater at the equator of the Sun-blasted planet.
