A new optical device measures photon indistinguishability—an important property for future light-based quantum computers.

Researchers at Linköping University have used computer simulations to show that stable aromatic molecules can become reactive after absorbing light. The results, published in The Journal of Organic Chemistry, may have long-term applications in such areas as t…

Many around the world will watch eagerly this Saturday as NASA launches Artemis I, the agency's first Moon exploration mission since the 1970s.

The greatest diversity of life is not counted in the number of species, says Utah State University evolutionary geneticist Zachariah Gompert, but in the diversi

Researchers have used computer simulations to show that stable aromatic molecules can become reactive after absorbing light. The results may have long-term applications in such areas as the storage of solar energy, pharmacology, and molecular machines.

Juno's latest picture of Jupiter has been enhanced to its true colors and it's magnificent.

The N2-to-NH3 conversion is a fundamental chemical process to supply nitrogen for modern industry and agriculture. Enormous efforts have been made since the invention of Haber-Bosch process, but it is still a challenging task to deliver N2-to-NH3 conversion a…

The European Service Module (ESM) is part of the necessary hardware to bring people back…

Astronomers had expected extraordinary science from NASA’s new James Webb Space Telescope. But when the first set of pictures and data was released in July, they were stunned.

The second major result from JWST's Direct Imaging ERS Team - a stunning brown dwarf spectrum!

Several solar flares and solar filaments near massive Sunspot AR3089 have been exploding this week opening up what Spaceweather.com is calling a “canyon of fire.” The walls of this canyon have reached nearly 20,000 kilometers (12,427 miles) in height, nearly …

The remains of Mbiresaurus raathi, found in Zimbabwe, is believed to be 6-feet-tall with a long tail. The dinosaur is estimated to weigh between 20 to 65 pounds

In a pre-proof study from the journal Results in Physics, researchers have developed a dual charge-coupled device laser system to detect the atmospheric aerosol and evaluate the errors of the Mie Scattering Light Detection and Ranging (Mie-LiDAR) system in th…

A combination of complex liquids — one suspended in the other — serves as a factory for nanostructures with sought-after properties.

It is our best look yet at these weird gravitationally-warped halos of light.

Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Keio University, Tokyo University of Science and The University of Tokyo succeeded for the first time in developing a method for systematically finding the optimal quantum operation sequ…

Russian cosmonauts Commander Oleg Artemyev and Flight Engineer Denis Matveev exit the ISS to continue outfitting the European robotic arm on the station's Nauka laboratory.

What if emergency medical personnel could treat a desperately ill patient in need of oxygen with a simple injection instead of having to rely on mechanical ventilation or rush to get them onto a heart-lung bypass machine?

<p>The cover photograph shows a natural sculpture whose physical origins were, until recently, a mystery.</p>

An insulin-suppressing protein could be behind the 500 percent increase in longevity seen in queen ants compared to workers in the colony, according to a new study that scientists say could shed light on the ageing process in other species.

Paleontology sometimes seems like a kind of imaginative Rorschach test with the flattened fauna of roadkill.

Humans are going back to the Moon and this time they’re seeking to stay. NASA’s Artemis program promotes a sustainable...

The inflatable modules would serve as greenhouses and use large mirrors to collect valuable sunlight.
