Scientists predict tectonic forces in East Africa will split the continent and form a new ocean, transforming economies and habitats.

NASA uncovers a complex building block of life on asteroid Bennu, challenging long-held beliefs about where life may have started.

A radical new theory suggests invisible black holes from the dawn of time may be quietly passing through Earth—and even your body—right now. Backed by fresh research, this mind-bending idea could finally crack the mystery of dark matter and upend everything w…

After examining the fossils, scientists think the huge prehistoric predator would have measured up to eight metres in length and weighed significantly more than today's great white sharks.

A research group led by Dr. Ryushiro Kasahara has discovered a new plant tissue essential for seed formation, which will be named in his honor. A research team at Nagoya University in Japan has identified a previously unknown plant tissue that plays a crucial…

Over the past decades, physicists and quantum engineers introduced a wide range of systems that perform desired functions leveraging quantum mechanical effects. These include so-called quantum sensors, devices that rely on qubits (i.e., units of quantum infor…

By Will Dunham WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Scientists have solved the mystery of 3.4 million-year-old fossils called the "Burtele Foot" discovered in Ethiopia in...

Mould found at the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster appears to be feeding off the radiation. Could we use it to shield space travellers from cosmic rays?

The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission captures a spectacular geological wonder in the Sahara Desert of Mauritania: the Richat Structure.

Astronomer Jocelyn Bell Burnell detected a strange signal from outer space that would lead to the discovery of the radio pulsar. The signal, once described as coming from "little green men," would earn her adviser the Nobel Prize in physics in 1974.

Summary: Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum explore why consciousness evolved and why different species developed it in distinct ways. By comparing humans with birds, they show that complex awareness may arise through different neural architectures yet ser…

Studying the light from stars tells us their temperature, composition, age, and evolutionary state.

A newly proposed type of supermassive black hole surrounded by a dense gas shell may account for the small red dots seen in images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. In the summer of 2022, less than a month after the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)…

A telescope in Chile has captured a stunning new image of the Butterfly Nebula, a grand and graceful cosmic wonder.

Researchers have documented 55 instances of "mini lightning" over two Martian years by eavesdropping on the whirling wind recorded by NASA's Perseverance rover.

NASA has discovered a mysterious red sphere called CWISE J1249. It is a celestial object whose composition and traveling speed have so far made it almost impossible for scientists to classify.

The non-gravitational acceleration of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is routinely updated by Davide Farnoccia on NASA’s JPL Horizons…

Two distant continents, one astonishing discovery. Paleontologists have uncovered matching dinosaur footprints on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean—one in Brazil, the other in Cameroon.

A major breakthrough challenges everything we knew about Earth’s ancient life. New evidence pushes the timeline back by over a billion years.

Scientists uncover 97-million-year-old fossils of bizarre creatures with a mysterious internal gps system!

State archaeologists and geologists are working together to solve a more than 10,000-year-old mystery at the Piney Grove archaeological site near Reisterstown, building on discoveries first made in May.

A new study says observations from the NASA Fermi space telescope suggest a halo of dark matter around the center of our galaxy, but more information is needed to confirm the result.

A new study suggests that a once-daily atmospheric tidal cycle may be a bigger driver of rapid Venusian winds than previously thought.

If you answered "yes" congratulations, you have broken causality.

Meet this newly discovered dinosaur, equipped with giant claws, and find out why it's more dangerous than you might think.
