The rate of human-produced light is increasing in the night sky by as much as 10% per year, making it difficult for astronomers to study the night sky.

A hybrid insect called "Frankenstein ant” is advancing across the eastern United States; it can withstand extreme weather and poses a threat.

The device operates like a 3D printer but replaces conventional heat sources with concentrated solar energy.

A Russian cosmonaut was outside the International Space Station (ISS) on a spacewalk when he spotted a weird 'blob', and you'll never guess what it was

Glaciers, nature’s slow-moving sculptors, are reshaping our planet in ways we can now measure with unprecedented precision. Using machine learning to study 85% of the world’s modern glaciers, an international research team found that most glaciers grind the E…

Twin orbs of superhot plasma at the Milky Way's center known as the "Fermi bubbles" contain inexplicable clouds of cold hydrogen, new research reveals.

Researchers have discovered that deep-sea fish generate carbonate minerals at rates similar to shallow species, confirming their major role in the ocean’s carbon cycle.

University of Hawai'i at Mānoa oceanographers have identified PelV-1, a dinoflagellate-infecting giant virus whose micron-length tail reaches 2.3 µm, stretching current notions of viral architecture.

A colossal great white shark — the largest male ever recorded in the Atlantic — is cruising dangerously close to one of North Carolina’s busiest tourist beaches.

In August 2012 Voyager 1 crossed the heliopause, the boundary where the Sun’s solar wind gives way to the interstellar medium, the first time any craft had sampled that interface directly.

IN A NUTSHELL 🔬 Researchers at MIT have developed a groundbreaking imaging system using light-triggered sound waves to see deeper into the brain. 📈 The new technology images brain tissue up to five times deeper than traditional methods without using dyes or…

Deep neural networks (DNNs), the machine learning algorithms underpinning the functioning of large language models (LLMs) and other artificial intelligence (AI) models, learn to make accurate predictions by analyzing large amounts of data. These networks are …

Apple’s upcoming voice-control feature for the new Siri could be an under-the-radar hit — if it works. Also: Tim Cook placates Trump with minor supply-chain changes (and a bar of gold), and Apple is finishing up work on iOS 26 and Liquid Glass 1.0. Lastly, th…

IN A NUTSHELL 🚀 Astrophysicist Cosimo Bambi proposes a mission to send a gram-scale probe to a black hole 20 light-years away. 💡 The mission involves a nanocraft accelerated by powerful lasers to reach its destination within 70 years. 💰 Significant financi…

Voyager 1 is expected to reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud in approximately 300 years, entering the distant, icy boundary of the Sun’s gravitational domain, but that's not the end of our solar system.

The ringed planet meets the moon for a striking skywatching event you won’t want to miss.

The James Webb telescope's 100-hour reexamination of one of Hubble's most iconic extragalactic images reveals extraordinary new details.

What if we could send a probe smaller than a paperclip, yes a paperclip to visit a black hole? It sounds impossible, but one scientist believes this extraordinary mission could become reality within our lifetimes. Astrophysicist Cosimo Bambi has outlined a bo…

Getting to grips with these structures doesn’t just change how we see the universe; it also opens up new doors for studying cosmic evolution and understanding the processes that govern interstellar environments.

Technique to precisely edit large DNA segments could transform disease research, crop breeding, experts say.

A viral simulation shows a Mach 50 flyover from Los Angeles to New York City, leaving viewers awestruck by Earth’s scale and speed

New research reveals that reducing cysteine, an amino acid, can flip fat from storage mode to calorie-burning mode. In both human trials and animal studies, lower cysteine levels sparked the transformation of white fat into heat-producing brown fat, resulting…
