For a long time our home solar system was all we knew. But since we’ve gotten a better look at other systems near and far, it has become apparent... our solar system is weird.

NASA's decision not to utilize reusable rockets comes down to simple physics, mission necessity, and astronaut safety.

The Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland reveals a process far more dynamic than anyone had assumed in two centuries of research.

MOXIE, an experiment by MIT and NASA currently on board the Perseverance rover, aims to help find ways to produce oxygen in Mars' atmosphere.

First, pause and take a deep breath. When we breathe in, our lungs fill with oxygen, which is distributed to our red blood cells for transportation throughout our bodies. Our bodies need a lot of oxygen to function, and healthy people have at least 95% oxygen…

In order to push this, he has to make some pretty big changes to our normal dictionary definition of what “nothing” means.

The Standard Model is the modern physical understanding of three of the four forces of nature: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force.

Pioneering research using bacteria brings scientists a step closer to creating artificial cells.

The James Webb Space Telescope captured its first images and spectra of Mars on 5 September 2022. The telescope, an international collaboration between NASA, ESA and the Canadian Space Agency, provides a unique perspective with its infrared sensitivity on our…

Scientists harnessing precise control of ultrafast lasers have accelerated electrons over a 20-centimeter stretch to speeds usually reserved for particle accelerators the size of 10 football fields.

An explosion on the sun helped to enliven the 2022 spring break season. What are solar flares, and what can we learn from them?

The ISME Journal - Sequential interspecies interactions affect production of antimicrobial secondary metabolites in Pseudomonas protegens DTU9.1

\'A mind-boggling, jaw-dropping” 380-million-year-old fossilized heart has been discovered in Western Australia, preserved inside a now extinct prehistoric fish known as the Gogo.

Researchers have discovered a new way hospital-acquired infections resist antibiotics, through a "silent" genetic mutation.

A huge asteroid is hurtling on its way towards Earth, NASA has warned. Yesterday saw three asteroids passing by Earth closely and two more are on their way. Here’s what NASA said about the asteroid.

It was an interesting week for Earth science and its history as a team at Stanford University explored whether we are missing a crucial component of sea-level rise. They suggest more attention needs to be given to basal thaw, where ice at the interface of the…

While most Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs) possess the capability for chemical composition analysis, Digital Surf's MountainsSpectral software is now allow users to combine and comparison this chemical composition analysis with 3D topography data.

An international team of scientists used molecular fossils and machine learning to build the first charts of Antarctic Ocean temperatures over the past 45 million years, offering important insights into the mechanisms driving temperature changes and

It belonged to a fish known as the Gogo.

To gather data on young stars, Culbreath combs existing surveys of the night sky in visible light, infrared, the far infrared, radio, and other wavelengths. ...

Newly discovered super-Earths add to the list of planets around other stars that offer the best chance of finding life. An astronomer explains what makes these super-Earths such excellent candidates.

"All the effort that went into making this image a success was worth it," said Austrian photographer Gerald Rhemann.
