Russian announced on Wednesday a February mission to the International Space Station to pick up crew members left stranded after a strike damaged the capsule that was to take them home.

SpaceX’s uncrewed Dragon cargo spacecraft splashed down at 5:19 a.m. EST Wednesday, January 11, north of Cape Canaveral off the Florida coast, marking the return of the company’s 26th contracted cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) …

Proposed particle cannot explain nuclear-physics anomaly.

New analysis and remarks made by the scientists from Flatiron Institute and their collaborators disclose two Goliath black holes right 750 light-years apart and closing, as they surround each other in the effect of a galaxy merger.

Analysis of a continuous record of water-isotope ratios from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide ice core reveals a dominant role for annual maximum insolation in determining West Antarctic summer temperature during the Holocene.

An electrically driven motor on the molecular scale based on [3]catenane is described, in which two cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) rings operate by means of redox reactions, demonstrating highly unidirectional movement around a circular loop.

"Suppose you knew everything there was to know about a water molecule—the chemical formula, the bond angle, etc.," says Joseph Thywissen, a professor in the Department of Physics and a member of the Centre for Quantum Information & Quantum Control at the Univ…

The comet will shoot past Earth and the Sun in the coming weeks for the first time in 50,000 years, and may be visible in Irish skies

The analysis of ancient DNA allows scientists to trace human evolution and make important discoveries about modern populations. The data revealed by ancient DNA sampling can be valuable, but the human remains that carry this ancient DNA are often those of the…

Industrial production of ammonia, primarily for synthetic fertilizer—the fuel for last century's Green Revolution—is one of the world's largest chemical markets, but also one of the most energy intensive.

The NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program is providing $175,000 in grants to 14 visionaries from nine states.

Scientists have discovered a pair of supermassive black holes that are destined to merge, and that could shed light on the future evolution of the Milky Way.

Insecticides are more effective. But you lose your organic certification

A new study led by Southwest Research Institute Research Scientist Dr. Danna Qasim posits that interstellar cloud conditions may have played a significant role on the presence of key building blocks of life in the solar system.

A COMET will be making its way past Earth over the next four weeks for the first time in 50,000 years. The last time the green comet made this trip was when Neanderthals and early Homo Sapiens roam…

Astronomers have found a way to directly measure the amount of gas in protoplanetary disks without needing to make assumptions about the relative amounts of different types of gas, making this method more accurate and robust than previous methods.

A new study has found that Mars was covered by 300-meter-deep oceans. Mars is known for its reddish hue, but it is believed that the planet was once blue and covered in water. The fact that Mars may have had water in the past brings us closer to understanding…

A mix of computer simulations and gamma-ray burst observations shed new light on the science of merging neutron stars.

Two supermassive black holes are on their way to colliding in a cataclysmic event and are the closest to colliding black holes ever observed. One of them is 200 million times the mass of our Sun, while the other is 125 million times heavier. They are within a…
