The donkey has shaped the history of humankind, both as a source of power for farm work, and of transportation in sometimes hard to reach areas.

“Their real nature, we don’t know,” said one researcher. “It’s something new.”

Donkeys are a ubiquitous beast of burden, and are regularly employed to slog materials across long distances, just like they...

Frank Drake was a pioneer of radio astronomy and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence using radio telescopes.

The James Webb space telescope has captured an absolutely unreal image of the Tarantula Nebula you have to see to believe.

Today's paper explores a promising method for detecting and constraining exoplanetary magnetic fields: measuring their effects on a host star's radio emission during transits.

What is the greatest challenge facing humans as we prepare for the first crewed missions to Mars? Solar and cosmic radiation? Atrophying bone and muscle? Growing food? How about laundry? It’s strange but true, right now we don’t have a way to clean laundry in…

The second half of the 20th century was the age of electronics, electronic devices became miniaturized and even more complex, creating problems for their energy consumption and waste heat. Spintronics promises to store or transport information based on spins …

We may have a stolen planet in our own Solar System.

Long-term monitoring of radionuclides transported with through the atmosphere can help to reveal atmospheric dynamics. The cosmogenic 10Be/7Be ratio is an effective tracer of atmospheric motion.

Under the $228.5 million contract, Axiom Space must design, build, and test the spacesuits, and have them ready for NASA’s Artemis 3 mission.

Global warming is likely to cause a decline in the number of species of microbes that live in tropical soils which could threaten the biodiversity of rainforests and increase carbon emissions, according to new research.

The supernova shone in the sky for years, but Byzantine scholars never wrote about it.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope may soon take over in investigating the rocky world.

Soccer, also known as football, is the most popular sport in 57 countries, and its players are among the most highly paid athletes in the world; therefore, every shot is valuable. Knowing how to adjust foot orientation and swing when kicking the ball can help…

More frequent extreme climate events have become a major global challenge. To mitigate the human and economic costs of these events, climatologists consistently create future climate predictions. These projections help policy makers develop actionable climate…

Paleontologists at the University of Tübingen's Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment have discovered a hitherto unknown genus and species of dinosaur. Tuebingosaurus maierfritzorum lived about 203 to 211million years ago in the region …
