Launch firm Arianespace said on Wednesday a "serious anomaly" occurred two minutes and 27 seconds after the rocket left the pad in French Guiana, thwarting efforts to add two satellites to the Pleiades Neo constellation operated by Airbus . "Unfortunately we…

NASA has officially ended its Insight mission on Mars following four years of exploration. The lander has not contacted Earth since December 15 and did not respond to two communication attempts.

Expanding on their recently developed electrochemical 3D atomic force microscopy (EC-3D-AFM) technique, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers have derived the depth profile of the charge density of electric double layers (EDLs). Through statisti…

A gift from the skies is coming just in time for the holidays — the Ursids meteor shower. This celestial event will be the last meteor shower of 2022.

Controlling the rotation of this molecule could lead to new technologies for microelectronics, quantum computing and more.

Argonne scientists report they can precisely rotate a single molecule on demand. The key ingredient is a single atom of europium, a rare earth element. It rests at the center of a complex of other atoms and gives the molecule many practical applications.

The last meal of a winged Microraptor dinosaur has been preserved for over a 100 million years.

Researchers found that after multiple hybridization events between two wood ant species distinct hybrid populations evolved independently towards the same direction, suggesting hybridization is predictable.

The Coronagraph Instrument on NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will study planets around other stars. Putting it together will require a highly choreographed dance.

Another wave of layoffs are coming at electric-car maker Tesla Inc in the next quarter, news website Electrek reported on Wednesday, citing a source familiar with the matter.

Drawing on the research idea of electron spin degree of freedom, the valley degree of freedom can be used as an information carrier to design and realize related functional devices. Monolayer group VI transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have recently emer…

Europe's premier small rocket fails in flight again - the third time in eight outings.

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) developed new software that integrates a variety of information from a single cell, allowing researchers to see how one change in a cell can lead to seve…

The James Webb Space Telescope launched on Christmas Day a year ago, and this year it has delivered incredibly stunning, detailed images of the cosmos.

Muscle injury induces cell senescence, which promotes inflammation.

A lifetime cartography of in vivo senescent cells shows that they are heterogeneous. Senescent cells create an aged-like inflamed niche that mirrors inflammation associated with ageing and arrests stem cell proliferation and tissue regeneration.

The internal architecture of microbes related to our cellular ancestors.

Volcanoes mostly release water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. Investigating these gases is one of the most effective ways to learn about volcanic systems and the magmatic processes that are taking place.

Argonne scientists report they can precisely rotate a single molecule on demand. The key ingredient is a single atom of europium, a rare earth element. It rests

NASA participated in a Space Center Houston celebration of the 50th anniversary of Apollo 17 on Friday, Dec. 16, 2022. On the heels of the successful Artemis...

The James Webb Space Telescope uses infrared light to peer through interstellar dust, revealing a universe that even scientists find overwhelming: “It just takes your breath away.”

Radiation and sunlight produce important chemicals on Europa's surface, and comet impacts might deliver them to the frozen moon's ocean.
