The mRNA platform will continue to grab headlines for a while as it made history thanks to Moderna and Pfizer producing the world’s first and fastest Covid-19 vaccines using the mRNA platform. Of course, producing a vaccine in just 11 months is no small feat …

Young children sometimes believe that the moon is following them, or that they can reach out and touch it. It appears to be much closer than is proportional to its true distance.

Augmented reality glasses are set to arrive early this year from big-name manufacturers - and here's a sneak peek of what to expect

Orangutans, mice, and horses are covered with it, but humans aren't. Why we have significantly less body hair than most other mammals has long remained a mystery.

Not far from our world, at least on the cosmic scale of the universe, a pair of Earth-sized planets orbit the Red Dwarf star Kepler-138.

There are Super Moons, Harvest Moons and Blue Moons. But have you heard of a Mini Moon?

NASA has set its sights on the lunar south pole, a region shrouded in shadow. But rovers could weave their way through patches of sunlight.

The rate of scientific discoveries and technological innovation may be slowing down, despite an ever-growing amount of knowledge.

If you had the grooming habits of a Neanderthal, perhaps it's a good thing your nose wasn't as sensitive to urine and sweat as a modern human's.

From the tropics to the poles, from the sea surface to hundreds of feet below, the world's oceans are teeming with one of the tiniest of organisms: a type of bacteria called Prochlorococcus, which despite their minute size are collectively responsible for a s…

From its position in low lunar orbit, South Korea’s first Moon mission caught a unique glimpse of Earth rising from...

The Danuri mission recently entered lunar orbit where it will spend the next year scanning the surface of the Moon.

Our glorious spiral home apparently has a doppelganger in the early universe.

The Webb Space Telescope’s latest target is one previously imaged by Hubble: the distant barred spiral galaxy EGS23205. Targets like...

New images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal galaxies with stellar bars -- elongated features of stars stretching from the centers of galaxies into their outer disks -- at a time when the universe was a mere 25% of its present age. The find…

A new research paper titled "Epigenetic aging is associated with aberrant neural oscillatory dynamics serving visuospatial processing in people with HIV" has been published in Aging.

The LunaH-Map mission missed its initial shot at lunar orbit but the team hasn't given up on it yet.

A mission to measure lunar water-ice on the Moon is in jeopardy after the cubesat failed to fire its engines...

Although the human body is externally symmetric across the left-right axis, there are remarkable left-right asymmetries in the shape and positioning of most internal organs, including the heart, lungs, liver, stomach, and brain.

TOPEKA (KSNT) – The last time anyone saw this astronomical event was during the time of the Neanderthals. That was 50,000 years ago – and now – it’s set to return to planet Earth. The comet was discovered at the Zwicky Transient Facility in early march of 202…

With help from NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescopic Array (NuSTAR) X-ray telescope, a group of researchers…

Astronomers have discovered that planet formation in our young Solar System began far earlier than previously thought, with planet building blocks growing at the same time as their parent star. According to a study of some of the oldest stars in the Universe,…

James Webb spotted six galaxies that formed eight to 11 billion years ago - 25% the current age of the 13.7-billion-year-old universe. And these galaxies have features similar to our Milky Way.

(UPDATE) THE rate of groundbreaking scientific discoveries and technological innovation is slowing down despite an ever-growing amount of knowledge, according to an analysis...
