Sounds from stars are proving useful to astronomers

It's the most detailed view of this nebula we've ever seen.

A team of international scientists led by the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has discovered that Neisseria - a genus of bacteria that lives in the human body – is not as harmless as previously thought, and can cause infections in …

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have discovered that water in a one-molecule layer acts like neither a liquid nor a solid, and that it becomes highly conductive at high pressures.

NASA will try again to launch its megarocket and space capsule to the moon later this month, with a new attempt set for Sept. 27.

The origin of the gene which made the brain of modern humans larger remains unknown. Big human brains are found to be cause of a specific gene called ARHGAP11B which can only be found on Homo sapiens, according to a study led by geneticists in Germany.

The introduction of perennial crops in the alleys of Mediterranean dryland almond orchards reduces greenhouse gas emissions and increases soil carbon sequestration, according to the latest study within the Diverfarming project

NASA plans a briefing Thursday (Sept. 15) to discuss the Perseverance Mars rover's findings so far.

Thanks to this oxygen making device, we are one giant step closer to putting humans on Mars.

SpaceX continues to make progress with its orbital test flight duo, with Ship 24 completing…

The fungus Aspergillus fumigatus causes invasive and chronic diseases worldwide. Here, Bowyer et al. use long-read and short-read sequencing to generate complete chromosome assemblies and telomere-to-telomere coverage for two isolates, thus providing high-qua…

Most drones can only shoot photos in landscape format, but by shooting vertical panoramic images you can capture and create high-resolution portrait format images with ease.

In a recent study submitted to Earth and Planetary Astrophysics, an international team of researchers discuss the various mission design options for reaching a hypothetical Planet 9, also known as "Planet X," which state-of-the-art models currently estimate t…

If you thought dark matter was difficult to study, studying dark energy is even more challenging. Dark energy is perhaps the most subtle phenomenon in the universe. It drives the evolution of the cosmos, but its effects are only seen on intergalactic scales. …

The rare astronomical event called an occultation, will be visible from parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe.

(22) Kalliope and its large moon Linus were thought to be traveling through the solar system as a lone pair with no further asteroid family to accompany them. This seems strange, as Linus was most likely created by a giant impact which would have to leave oth…

The Juno probe is heading towards Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, which reportedly has more water than Earth. Here's what scientists say.

NASA needs to know what’s going on with all of the junk that’s orbiting our planet. The space agency announced...

Millions of pieces of space junk currently orbit Earth, the fastest of which move at speeds reaching 17,500 miles per hour.

Astronomers have narrowed down the timeline of a stellar explosion by combining data from NASA's Chandra X-ray, Hubble Space Telescope, and the retired Spitzer Space Telescope.

Gazprom's decision to turn off the taps of Nord Stream 1 this month has rocked Europe's industrial and manufacturing sector, with fertilizer producers first in line.

Cryogenic electron microscopy analyses reveal a new, compact structure of telomeric chromatin, providing mechanistic insight into telomere maintenance and function.

This two-stage bioreactor-mediated approach for culturing previously uncultured microorganisms involves enrichment of indigenous organisms by using a continuous-flow down-flow hanging sponge bioreactor and subsequent selective batch cultivation.

Black-hole activity feedback is intensively studied on both galaxy-cluster scales and parsec scales. There are, however, many open questions about how the close surroundings of supermassive black holes affect large-scale structure and vice versa.
