The European Space Agency says the arm ticked off another milestone by moving a suitcase-sized object over six hours, proving it can do what it was designed for.

Scientists have managed to generate a new type of human cell in the lab using stem cells. The new cells closely resemble their natural counterparts in early human embryos. As a result, researchers can now better study what happens just after an embryo implant…

We’ve landed humans on the moon but we’ve barely scratched the surface of our own planet. What lies beneath, and what mysteries remain?

NASA is back with its monthly roundup of what to look out for in the sky over the coming weeks., with Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn all making an appearance.

Granular matter is all around us. Examples include sand, rice, nuts, coffee and even snow. These materials are made of solid particles that are large enough not to experience thermal fluctuations. Instead, their state is determined by mechanical influences: s…

Individual Values (IVs) are a way for Pokemon GO trainers to see just how strong their partner really is.

astronomers have discovered a Jupiter-like planet orbiting that star, which is one of a binary pair

At the end of their lives, sunlike stars metamorphose into glowing shells of gas –  perhaps shaped by unseen companions.

Water ice has been found in the southern regions of the Moon, and it is hoped certain gases that can be used for fuels can also be mined. These resources could be used to support long-term human habitation on and near the Moon in lunar bases.

A team of paleontologists has discovered the oldest dinosaur skeleton to ever be found in Africa. The find could be a piece in the jigsaw of how the oldest dinosaurs became established before spreading worldwide.

The fossil, which was near-complete barring some of the hand and portions of the skull, is the oldest-known definitive dinosaur found in Africa to date.

The Mbiresaurus raathi roamed the earth more than 230 million years ago, researchers said.

The mesmerizing results could inform the quest to solve mysteries of planet formation.

NASA will need a special containment lab to safely study Martian rock samples returned from Mars. Pathogens can't be allowed to escape for Earth's safety.

Scientists have discovered a new kind of synapse in the tiny hairs on the surface of neurons. The commonly overlooked protrusions called primary cilia contain special junctions that act as a shortcut for sending signals quickly and directly to the cell's nucl…

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an analytical tool with a wide range of applications, including the magnetic resonance imaging that is used for diagnostic purposes in medicine. However, NMR often requires powerful magnetic fields to be generated, which li…

Millions of yeast cells are aboard the Orion capsule on the Artemis mission. They're there to help understand radiation dangers to humans.

Composite particles with submicron sizes can be produced by irradiating a suspension of nanoparticles with a laser beam. Violent physical and chemical processes take place during irradiation, many of which have to date been poorly understood.

Magnesium diboride superconductors show great promise for large-scale applications. However, its critical current density (the current density above which superconductivity vanishes), Jc , at high magnetic fields in bulk form is not sufficiently high. An inte…

The new product will find Apple competing directly against Meta’s Quest Pro (rumored for a release next month), and PlayStation VR.

The holy grail in our search for exoplanets (planets orbiting other stars) is to find one with water and at the right distance from its star for that water to

CO2 and methane can be turned into valuable products. But there is a problem with the catalysts required for this: They end up being covered in a layer of carbon, losing their effectivity. A new catalyst has now been developed which solves this problem and ca…

Mammals possess a novel gene that controls a novel structure in nerve cells.
