Astronauts with their sights on the moon are receiving world-class geology training during the fifth edition of ESA's Pangaea campaign. From choosing landing sites for a future Artemis mission, to designing science operations for the lunar surface, the course…

Until now it has been difficult to test the health of dolphin populations due to their migratory pattens, their size and, in some cases, dwindling numbers.

Spacecraft encountered a solar storm just ahead of a crucial Venus flyby.

In a recent publication in the journal Advanced Materials, a team of physicists and chemists from TU Dresden presents an organic thin-film sensor that describes a completely new way of identifying the wavelength of light and achieves a spectral resolution bel…

Green sand might sound like a strange thing to find on the Red Planet, but that is exactly what a new paper from researchers led by a team at Purdue found in images from Perseverance. The findings, published recently in a spate of papers in Science and Scienc…

Excavations carried out in the backyard of a house in the quiet town of Pombal, in central Portugal,

Private spaceflight is taking off, though some are going faster than others. As SpaceX preps for its sixth crewed launch on a NASA contract, their rival Boeing has announced that they will be delaying the first crewed flight of their Starliner spacecraft unti…

A dull beige image of the gas giant is arguably more mind-blowing than its colorful counterpart.

The researchers stored astronaut blood for 20 years to see how short space shuttle flights affected spaceflyer health.

Neptune will be at its brightest, enabling you to see a rarely glimpsed planet.

An advance in the use of antiferromagnetic materials in memory storage devices.

Researchers say insights on giant planets could boost nanodiamond production on Earth.

The plot of this interaction is more complex than some movies I've seen.

Student teams are an underappreciated resource in much of the scientific community. Joining a team working toward a goal while at university, whether for racing solar-powered cars or digging fish ponds in Africa, is an excellent way to sharpen technical and p…

Two-dimensional van der Waals materials have been the focus of work by numerous research groups for some time. Standing just a few atomic layers thick, these structures are produced in the laboratory by combining atom-thick layers of different materials (in a…

Life could have existed in the minerals in the once water rich Holden Basin in the past.

Many people living today have a small component of Neanderthal DNA in their genes, suggesting an important role for admixture with archaic human lineages in the evolution of our species. Paleogenetic evidence indicates that hybridization with Neanderthals and…

Neanderthals have served as a reflection of our own humanity since they were first discovered in 1856. What we think we know about them has been shaped and molded to fit our cultural trends, social norms and scientific standards. They have changed from diseas…

In this Perspective, technologies and challenges in the cardiac tissue engineering field are discussed and strategies to overcome these challenges are proposed.

Scientific Reports - Gut permeability may be associated with periprosthetic joint infection after total hip and knee arthroplasty

A new approach, which mimics the physical forces exerted by immune cells as they crawl over host cells, could help scientists develop more effective cancer immunotherapies.

Scientific Reports - Ecological succession of the sponge cryptofauna in Hawaiian reefs add new insights to detritus production by pioneering species

A small supersonic asteroid, travelling at ten times the speed of a bullet, will pass by the Earth on Tuesday, media reports said.
