NASA has laid out a roadmap for major aspects that need to be addressed while developing a robotic system that can explore icy moons with water oceans.
Scientists modeled how black holes and neutron stars form after dying stars collapse, and explained why some get a hard 'kick' into interstellar space.
A large international team of astronomers and astrophysicists has found evidence showing that the Small Magellanic Cloud is not a single galaxy—it is actually two, one behind the other. The group has written a paper describing their work and posted it to the …
This atlas serves as a map of the mouse brain, describing the kind, location, and chemical information of over 32 million cells as well as information on cell connectivity.
Quantum computers have the potential to outperform conventional computers on some tasks, including complex optimization problems. However, quantum computers are also vulnerable to noise, which can lead to computational errors.
An international team of astronomers has employed a set of space telescopes to observe a peculiar nuclear transient known as AT 2019avd. Results of the observational campaign, presented in a paper published December 21 on the pre-print server arXiv, deliver i…
Researchers develop novel method enabling deliberate engineering of gold nanoparticles offering systematic control over plasmonic resonance features in tellurite glass matrices.
is shaping up to be another exciting year for space exploration. Several new missions under NASAs Artemis plan and Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative will target the Moon. The latter half of the year will feature several exciting launches, including…
Sharpshooters are tiny insects capable of extraordinary feats. They feed on xylem fluid which is about 95% water and as a result they produce a lot of urine ...
NASA's JWST telescope spotted a bizarre galaxy that defies expectations. Galaxy UHZ-1 formed around a huge black hole that existed surprisingly soon after
With the notable exception of the now retired Space Shuttle orbiters, essentially every object humanity ever shot into space has been single-use only. But since December of 2015, SpaceX has been la…
Decades of research show the waters around Bermuda becoming warmer, saltier and more acidic.
A recent paper based on observations collected from two locations off the island’s coast said waters had in...
