The Dark Energy Camera has just celebrated 10 years of operations.

The switchbacks have been detected before, but never seen.

For years, scientists and online databases presumed the presence of clubroot—one of the main diseases on cruciferous crops (such as broccoli, cabbage, and kale)—in Mexico. However, no evidence to support this supposition existed until a team of researchers, l…

If evolutionary biologist Terence D. Capellini were to rank the body parts that make us quintessentially human, the pelvis would place close to the top.

The US Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), the world’s first mission to test technology for defending Earth against potential asteroid or comet hazards, will impact its target asteroid Dimorphos on  September 26, NASA and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics La…

It is the US space agency's first ever attempt at such a mission and will involve a spacecraft crashing into an asteroid 6.8 million miles from Earth at 15,000mph in two weeks' time.

Swiss scientists have automated microscope control for imaging biological events such as cell division all while limiting stress on the sample. The team from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne trained artificial neural networks to detect subtle cell eve…

University of Tsukuba researchers proposed a scenario of a light-induced topological phase called a Floquet-Weyl semimetal. They find that the motion of the electrons when excited by a laser allows a spin-polarized surface state to be generated. This work may…

Bengaluru, Sep 12 (IANS): Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and their collaborators have unravelled the real-time mechanism involved in biological processes like cell division, cell mobility, transportation of nutrients into cells, and vir…

Untruths or sales puffery?

With data from its closest pass of the sun yet, the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft has found compelling clues as to the origin of magnetic switchbacks, and points towards how their physical formation mechanism might help accelerate the solar wind.

Dark Energy Camera Captures Bright, Young Stars Blazing Inside Glowing Nebula

A group of researchers at EPFL’s School of Basic Sciences in Switzerland is using photosynthetic bacteria to generate energy.

Cell membranes transition seamlessly between distinct 3D configurations. It is a remarkable feature that is essential for several biological phenomena such as cell division, cell mobility, transport of nutrients into cells, and viral infections. Researchers a…

Firefly Aerospace is gearing up for another go at launching its Alpha rocket, hoping that the small-lift launch vehicle makes...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the most detailed image of the Orion Nebula that sits 1,350 light years from Earth - one light-year is about six trillion miles.

NASA will host a briefing at 11:30 a.m. EDT (8:30 a.m. PDT) on Thursday, Sept. 15, at the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California to provide highlights from the first year and a half of the Perseverance rover’s exploration of Mars.

New approach can make almost any material surface extremely water-repellent

Researchers say diesel exhaust fumes change components of blood affected by inflammation and infection -- but these changes were greater among women.

Researchers have observed two planets that might be similar to our Earth but bigger. And, one might even be capable of sustaining life. According to a press release, a team of international astronomers announced that they have discovered two “Super-Earth” pla…

According to a report by The Verge, a user named Ramiro Cardena has shared some images and a video showing what the new VR headset looks like in the comment section of a post on the Oculus Quest 2 Facebook group.

SpaceX fired up the engines of its Starship prototype as part of a static fire test that brings it closer to launching the fully reusable spacecraft to orbit.

A study by Trinity College Dublin reveals a slowing of continental plates was the critical event that enabled magma to rise to the Earth's surface and deliver devastating knock-on impacts.
