The Peregrine and Nova-C landers are due to carry out valuable science at two diverse lunar locations.

While the unaided eye or binoculars can reveal much of the night sky, a telescope reveals so much more. Seeing Saturn's rings or the moon's craters with your own eyes can be an "oh wow" moment.

A "Devil comet" that's bigger than Mount Everest is making its way toward Earth, but it's truly nothing to worry about.

Extraordinary views of a land hundreds of millions of miles away.

Imagine blasting off on a multiyear voyage to Mars, fueled by a diet of bland, prepackaged meals. As space agencies plan for longer missions, they're grappling with the challenge of how to feed people best. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Food Science & Tec…

A research team based in Japan has revealed that stem-like proliferative cells — which are actively growing and dividing but not yet differentiating into specific cell types — appear at the site of injury and help form the blastema.

Why does natural selection appear to happen slowly on long timescales and quickly on short ones? A multigenerational study of four lizard species addresses biology’s “paradox of stasis.”

Hey there, tech enthusiasts and curious minds! Ever pondered about the intricate psychological dance we’re engaged in with AI? It’s a realm beyond fancy gadgets and smart assistants; it’s about how…

Comets would have amorphous ice rather than crystalline one at the epoch of their accretion. Cometary ice contains some impurities that govern the latent heat of ice crystallization, Lcry.

According to reports, there is a risk of impact on October 5, 2024.

A recent study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters investigates the potential existence of Mars-sized free-floating planets (FFPs)—also known as rogue planets, starless planets, and wandering planets—that could have been captured by our sun's gravi…

If we could travel far beyond our galaxy, and look back upon the Milky Way, it would be a glorious sight. Luminous spirals stretching from a central core, with dust and nebulae scattered along the spiral edges. When you think about a galaxy, you probably imag…

A team of researchers from the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has developed an incredibly sensitive toxic gas sensor that rivals existing devices.

Biking to the store. Raking leaves. Playing with your kids. Scientists are getting a clearer picture of all the activities that offer health benefits.

Centrioles have a conserved structure and function but have diversified in sperm. Here the authors provide insight into the molecular mechanisms and adaptive evolution underlying this diversification.

The Boeing-built X-37B autonomous spaceplane has launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, marking the beginning of its seventh mission.
