Looking inside the rock, scientists found a few surprises about Earth's ancient past.

The medieval-looking "helmet" is the latest addition to Mars' gallery of odd-shaped rocks.

Genomic, single-cell transcriptomic and epigenetic analyses show that chaetognaths, following extensive gene loss in the gnathiferan lineage, relied on newly evolved genes and lineage-specific tandem duplications, not caused by a whole-genome duplication even…

If a major earthquake occurs, researchers think it could cause severe shaking, landslides, and damage to infrastructure.

Design could help to probe the ‘ignorosphere’, a layer of ultra-thin air that has largely escaped exploration by balloons, aircraft and satellites.

Physicist Carlos Argüelles-Delgado gives us an introduction to this one-of-a-kind facility, one of the most successful neutrino detectors in the world.

An ancient Egyptian artifact, over 5,000 years old, is leaving scientists stunned—could it be the key to uncovering extraterrestrial technology?

The exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 d intrigues astronomers looking for possibly habitable worlds beyond our solar system because it is similar in size to Earth, rocky,

Hackaday has a long-running series on Mining and Refining, that tracks elements of interest on the human-made road from rocks to riches. What author Dan Maloney doesn’t address in that series…

The star, called DFK 52, is a member of a cluster of similar red supergiants, but it's losing mass at an extreme rate never seen before.

Following the recent release of journal impact factors, we round up the leading journals across 10 chemistry fields

Rogue waves have captivated the attention of both seafarers and scientists for decades.

Violent black hole collisions may create black hole 'morsels' no larger than an asteroid — and these bizarre objects could pave the way to unlocking new physics, a study claims.

For decades, scientists puzzled over why Uranus seemed colder than expected. Now, an international research team led by the University of Houston has solved the mystery: Uranus emits more heat than it gets from the Sun, meaning it still carries internal warmt…

Scientists have discovered a razor-toothed whale that prowled the seas 26 million years ago, saying the species was "deceptively cute" but a dangerous predator.

A vast mass of scorching mantle rock is creeping deep beneath the United States, tracing a journey that began tens of millions of years ago.

Scientists in Australia have uncovered a fossil of a giant prehistoric spider unlike anything seen before, preserved in stunning detail from a time when the continent was a lush rainforest.

"We have never seen anything quite like it."

Features of 25,000 biological adhesives analysed to create glues stronger than any found in nature

Scientists have long wondered about how the potato's genetic lineage came to be. Now they know: The plants are a cross between tomatoes and a plant known as Etuberosum.

: Agency asks for ideas from US industry as orbit decays

: First came the fireball, then a hole in the roof and a dent in the floor

arXiv:2507.21402v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is expected to arrive at a distance of $53.56(\pm 0.45)$ million ${\rm km}$ ($0.358\pm 0.003$~au) from Jupiter on March 16, 2026. We show that applying a total thrust $\Delta$V o…
