To improve understanding of variation of Earth's rotation in the 4th--7th centuries CE, a research team analyzed Byzantine records from this period to identify total solar eclipses around the Eastern Mediterranean. Five total eclipses with reliable informatio…

"Soft matter" was first proposed by Pierre-Gilles de Gennes in his Nobel acceptance speech in 1991. The term describes materials between aqueous substances and ideal solids.

NASA’s first test of a strategy to protect Earth from asteroids is days away. Here’s what you need to know.

The discovery of a 380-million-year-old fossilised heart in a jawed fish preserved in limestone off the West Australian coast has stunned researchers.

Investigation of fetal Leydig progenitors shows that thymosin β10 (Tmsb10) suppresses the RAS/ERK pathway, inducing progenitor differentiation into fetal Leydig cells.

U.S. and European physicists have demonstrated a new method for predicting whether metallic compounds are likely to host topological states that arise from strong electron interactions.

The rover has collected four samples from an ancient river delta in the Red Planet's Jezero Crater since July 7, bringing the total count of scientifically compelling rock samples to 12.

Strong alternating magnetic fields can be used to generate a new type of spin wave that was previously just theoretically predicted. This was achieved for the first time by a team of physicists from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). They report…

The Archean basement rocks are suitable candidates for modeling the generation and evolution of the early continental crust as they archive the early earth proc

The MICROSCOPE mission has confirmed the ‘equivalence principle’ with unprecedented accuracy, bolstering Einstein’s general relativity.

Aboard the International Space Station, NASA Expedition 67 Flight Engineer Kjell Lindgren answered pre-recorded questions about life and work on the orbiting...

A new research conducted by two paleontologists at the University of Malaga has just revealed that human evolution uniquely combines an increase in brain size with the acquisition of an increasingly juvenile cranial shape.

The spiral galaxy image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope is the NGC 1961. Know more about it here.

NASA’s Perseverance rover puts its robotic arm to work around a rocky outcrop called “Skinner Ridge” in Mars’ Jezero Crater. Composed of multiple images, this mosaic shows layered sedimentary rocks […]

Groundwater heavy metal pollution in arid oasis regions has attracted widespread attention because of its toxicity, persistence, abundance and bioaccumulation capacity.

A mysterious, brightly lit meteor was spotted in the Scottish sky. Social media was filled with footage of this natural phenomenon while experts tried to find out where it might have landed. The UK Meteor Network received hundreds of reports about this myster…

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have found that water has new phases.

Scientists identify a neuronal pathway in rats that drives ‘social grooming’, a behaviour that helps to hold animal communities together.

The latest findings provide greater detail on a region of the Red Planet that has a watery past and is yielding promising samples for the NASA-ESA Mars Sample Return campaign.

Lab members are typically in charge of their own data and notes. But institutional memory is better served if the team works together, say Stephen McInturff and Victor Adenis.

The company, PLD Space, aims to launch its reusable Miura 1 rocket from "Spain's Cape Canaveral" before the end of the year.

Smithsonian researchers have discovered a new extinct species of lizard-like reptile that belongs to the same ancient lineage as New Zealand's living tuatara. A team of scientists, including the National Museum of Natural History's curator of Dinosauria Matth…

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is planning to build a long-term human base on the moon by the year 2034. Read on to know more about the plan.
