Although it looks a little like a crackling fire, this is actually a 14-year time-lapse of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope’s observations. To learn more ...

The entire gamma-ray sky is shown as two circular views centered on the north (left) and south poles of our Milky Way galaxy in this 14-year time-lapse of th...

Messenger RNAs transcribed from olfactory-receptor genes may have non-coding functions that include recruitment of transcriptional enhancers and inhibition of potentially thousands of competing alleles to ensure stable transcription of a single allele.

Atomic electron tomography is used to determine the 3D atomic positions and chemical species of medium- and high-entropy alloy nanoparticles and quantitatively characterize the local lattice distortion, strain tensor, twin boundaries, dislocation co…

Scientists have previously only gotten 'synaptic transistors' to work under cryogenic conditions, but this is the first that can operate at room temperature — while outperforming today's best-in-class machine learning systems.

Recent observations of an aging, alien planetary system are helping to answer the question: What will happen to our planet when the sun dies?

Scientists believe S2 impact held some benefits for early life 3.26B years ago

After embarking on its third mission, China's top-secret spaceplane dubbed Shenlong has released six mysterious objects into Earth's orbit.

If two persons are biologically related, they share long stretches of DNA that they co-inherited from their recent common ancestor. These almost identically shared stretches of genomes are called IBD ("Identity by Descent") segments. Up to the sixth-degree re…

NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter recently captured images of odd-looking ridged lines carved into the landscape of the Red Planet.

SETI researchers have discovered a pattern of 35 repeating fast radio bursts that resemble the sound of a "slide whistle" when played on a xylophone.

Intuitive Machines, Inc. has rescheduled its first lunar mission, IM-1, to mid-February 2024 due to unfavorable weather conditions affecting SpaceX's launch schedule. The mission's Nova-C lunar lander is set to land near the Moon's south pole, part of NASA's …

New research conducted by a team of archaeologists and Earth scientists has shed light on the ancient landscapes of Sahul, the Pleistocene (Ice Age) landmass comprising Australia and New Guinea.

Magnetism occurs depending on how electrons behave. For example, the elementary particles can generate an electric current with their charge and thereby induce a magnetic field. However, magnetism can also arise through the collective alignment of the magneti…
