A glowing blob known as "the cocoon," which appears to be inside one of the enormous gamma-ray emanations from the center of our galaxy dubbed the "Fermi bubbles," has puzzled astronomers since it was discovered in 2012.

A University of Portsmouth research team has found a potential way to predict genetic mutations before they occur. According to a University of Portsmouth study, a new physics law could allow for the early prediction of genetic mutations. The study discovers …

Endoscopes are pretty familiar if health checkups are a routine part of one’s life. The endoscope is a long, flexible tube that houses a camera and a light source for imaging purposes.

The singlet fission mechanism is still not relatively well understood, except for polyacenes. Here, the authors demonstrate that in diketopyrrolopyrrole supramolecular assemblies, both singlet fission and intersystem crossing can simultaneously happen.

A first-of-its-kind study of blood samples from NASA astronauts who flew on space shuttle missions reveals DNA mutations potentially linked to spaceflight.

For researchers attempting to anticipate the global sea level rise rate, the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, which is about the size of Florida, has been a significant sticking point.

NASA's Juno spacecraft recently captured the complex colours and structure of Jupiter's surface. The striking image showed swirls of turquoise, milky white, deep ochre and dark blue covering the planet's surface in a mesmerising manner.

In an article published in the journal Nanomaterials, researchers examined the thermoluminescence dosimetry characteristics of Ag-doped ZnO thin films.

A little Martian dust appears to go a long way. A small amount of simulated crushed Martian rock mixed with a titanium alloy made a stronger, high-performance material in a 3D-printing process that could one day be used on Mars to make tools or rocket parts.

NASA expects it will take "several weeks" to fix technical issues behind the hydrogen leak in its Space Launch System's core stage fuel tanks.

The new study could lead to a new way of fabricating nanodiamonds, which are used in non-invasive surgery, quantum electronics, drug delivery, medical sensors and sustainable manufacturing, among others.

Did you ever want to see an alien world? A planet orbiting a distant star, light years from the Sun? Well, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has just

Scientific Reports - Cultivating epizoic diatoms provides insights into the evolution and ecology of both epibionts and hosts

The images to emerge from the James Webb Space Telescope have captured details of the cosmos never seen before, leaving the scientific community and public alike in a state of awe. In a Tweet, former President Barack Obama described them as “mind-blo

James Webb Space Telescope has captured this image of a near-perfect "Einstein ring," a phenomenon that happens due to the gravity lensing caused by massive cosmic objects.

This isn't a new discovery, but it shows that the telescope is working even better than its designers had hoped.

All-optical switch has high extinction rate and operates at room temperature

Cockroaches are pesky insects that nobody in their right mind likes. They are good at survival, after all, they have outlived dinosaurs and maybe one day they will outlive humans. But now, humans are trying to turn these sturdy insects into half-machines or c…

NASA's Perseverance rover will be able to produce higher amounts of oxygen using its MOXIE instrument since the air on Mars is denser during the winter.

Cryovolcanoes may have erupted methane from the interior of Pluto's largest moon, Charon, creating the strange landscape of Mordor Macula at its north pole.

A cosmologist, cultural historian, and neurosurgeon discuss how outer space and otherworldly phenomena can inspire discovery across disciplines and bring people together.

Alert! This hazardous asteroid is heading for our planet tomorrow. Here’s what NASA said about this asteroid.

The Solar Orbiter will study the inner heliosphere and polar regions of the Sun to help us better understand space weather. The Sun just sent it a sample.

Ants and wasps are cooperating, with oak trees the unfortunate intermediary, and it’s all been discovered because an observant eight-year-old reported what he saw to his entomologist father.

Scientists devise tunable conducting edge.
