In a new research note that I co-authored with Mauro Barbieri, we point out that on 22 January 2026, the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS will…

Our bones did not begin deep inside the body. They started in the skin, not long after the first complex animals took shape.

Quantum technologies are highly promising devices that process, transfer or store information leveraging quantum mechanical effects. Instead of relying on bits, like classical computers, quantum devices rely on entangled qubits, units of information that can …

Neutrinos pass through you every second. Now, two mega-experiments have finally pinned down one of their deepest traits.

For over two centuries, we have watched the red giant R Leonis dim and brighten with regularity, but this 'heartbeat' is beginning to speed up near the end of the star's life.

<p><em>If we ever meet aliens, would their physics be the same as ours? While this might seem like a purely hypothetical, abstract question, it has profound consequences for what the pursuit of scientific truth actually is. Professor of Physics and Astronomy …

Mars's gravitational tug on Earth affects our planets evolution and tilt, and could even influence its Ice Ages, according to a study.

Two perfectly round dinosaur eggs found in China weren't hiding bones, but something far more unexpected. What scientists uncovered inside could rewrite what we know about fossilisation and the final days of the dinosaurs.

Researchers studying rockhead poachers from Deadman Bay think they may have solved the mystery of the fish's odd bowl-shaped head.

US science is worth fighting for, but so are the science projects and scientists denied opportunities. Here are 4 paths all worth exploring.

Homosexual behaviour in primates has a deep evolutionary basis and is more likely to occur in species that live in harsh environments, are hunted by predators, or live in more complex societies, scientists said Monday.

Media accreditation is open for the launch of NASA’s 12th rotational mission of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft carrying astronauts to the

For decades, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has offered a snapshot of the planet's changing climate—but University of Toronto researchers have found that some of the underlying data underrepresents a key driver of Arctic …

Monday, Jan. 12, 2026: Updates on NASA's astronaut medical evacuation from the International Space Station.

Pilots and passengers are unwitting participants in SpaceX’s test of the most powerful rocket ever built.

"This is a structure we've never seen before, so it could be a new class of dark object."

NASA recorded a signal that travelled from deep space over 13 billion years, and lasted merely 10 seconds. This discovery highlights several ignored aspects about the early universe, how time warps in space and how things really unfold in the universe.

First off, but least important for anything other than context: I am older, and my computer skills are what would now be considered ‘limited’. Because graphic analysis and composition takes so much time with the software tools I am familiar with there...

An iceberg that calved from the Antarctic ice sheet in 1986 is dramatically turning blue as it rapidly heads towards total annihilation.

Quantum entanglement happens when two particles become interconnected and share a single state. Scientists have measured how fast it happens.

For the first time, physicists in Italy have created a 'lump soliton': an extremely stable packet of light waves which can travel through 3D space, and even interact with other solitons without losing its shape.

The platypus is one of evolution's lovable, oddball animals. The creature seems to defy well-understood rules of biology by combining physical traits in a bizarre way. They're egg-laying mammals with duck bills and beaver-like tails, and the males have venomo…

A team set out to compare two closely related spiders, and stumbled into a paradox. The island species doesn’t behave like island species are supposed to.

Hidden lakes on Mars? Researchers say water could have lasted 50+ years under ice.

NASA’s Gateway is coming to life with a solar-powered spacecraft built to light it up—and move it around the Moon.
