The poles have ice but it's freezing up there, so why not grind gems for cocktails?

New research has uncovered that pollen preserved in 250 million year old rocks contain compounds that function like sunscreen, these are produced by plants to protect them from harmful ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation.

New data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed that the structures of galaxies in the early universe were much more diverse and mature than previously known. RIT Associate Professor Jeyhan Kartaltepe said that JWST’s ability to see faint hi…

A shockwave traveling through Stephan's Quintet at over a million miles per hour is causing turbulence in between its five galaxies.

Here’s what happens when galaxies violently collide.

Shockwaves resulting from the violent collision between an intruder galaxy and Stephan's Quintet are helping astronomers to understand how turbulence influences gas in the intergalactic medium.

NASA expected some satellite components to survive the reentry.

Scientists have developed artificial intelligence techniques to track the development of crevasses -- or fractures -- on the Thwaites Glacier Ice Tongue in west Antarctica. A team of scientists has adapted an AI algorithm originally developed to identify cell…

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances discusses tailoring spatiotemporal dynamics of plasmonic vortices.

The scattered stars of the globular cluster NGC 6355 are strewn across this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. NGC 6355 is a galactic globular cluster that resides in our Milky Way galaxy's inner regions. It is less than 50,000 light-years from E…

Researchers at Princeton’s Department of Chemistry discovered the first known de novo protein that catalyzes, or drives, the synthesis of quantum dots. Nature uses 20 canonical amino acids as building blocks to make proteins, combining their sequences to crea…

Ceramic fuel cells, also known as solid oxide fuel cells, are promising green electrochemical devices offering high energy efficiency, low emissions and fuel flexibility.

A solar-powered system has been developed that converts plastic waste and greenhouse gases into sustainable fuels and other products.

The defunct Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) reentered the atmosphere after spending nearly four decades in low Earth orbit.

The features have been termed as 'hurricanes' by astronomers

A neuroscientist from Vanderbilt University has deduced that the Tyrannosaurus Rex had a brain mass of 343 grams, holding and 3,289,000,000 neurons - similar to those of modern primates.

COMMENTARY | New images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveal for the first time galaxies with stellar bars at a time when the universe was a mere 25% of its present age.

The moon has been considered extremely reductive since the Apollo era, as estimated by the low ferric iron content in lunar samples returned in the 1970s. In addition, it has long been a mystery whether a large amount of ferric iron exists on the moon and how…

A CRATER on the surface of Mars has given scientists new hope that there could be water on the Red Planet. The Martian crater may be rife with opal gemstones, which are often found in jewellery and…

Lunar high-concentration ferric ion (Fe3+/∑Fe > 40%) and ~63% of nanophase metallic iron (npFe0) are produced via charge disproportionation of ferrous iron from micrometeoroid impacts, as observed in the Chang’e-5 sample. This ongoing process would lead to a …

China's space agency appears to have lost contact with the Tianwen 1 orbiter and Zhurong rover from the nation's 1st Mars mission.

Why are we going back to the moon? To research, to practice and to build a gas station in space.

Scientists have developed a new Artificial Intelligence, or AI, technique using radar images from Europe’s Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite mission, to reveal how the Thwaites Glacier Ice Tongue in West Antarctica is being damaged by squeezing and stretching a…

Mobile platform giant teams with satellite operator to claim world’s first satellite-based service, providing global coverage from pole to pole
