A preview of the nighttime and early morning skies in September.

A tiny bubble popping within a liquid seems more fanciful than traumatic. But millions of popping vapor bubbles can cause significant damage to rigid structures like boat propellers or bridge supports. Can you imagine the damage such bubbles could do to soft …

Scientists at have conducted research showing that a powder dropper can successfully drop boron powder into high-temperature plasma within tokamaks that have parts made of a heat-resistant material known as tungsten.

The good news: Voyager 1's telemetry is clear again. The weird: Why did it use a dead computer?

While dishwashers feel like a miracle, they require a lot of energy and release harmful chemicals into the environment. But a new concept uses steam to blast away pathogens.

It's an experiment, not a last-ditch attempt to save Earth from cataclysm.

Someday, wood furniture could be shipped flat and then dried to form a final shape.

Researchers in Spain have mapped the genome of the immortal jellyfish, which can repeatedly change from adult back to a juvenile state to survive.

Aedes aegypti can act as a vector for viral pathogens but the mechanism of viral resistance and evolving host-pathogen tolerance are poorly understood. Here the authors structurally characterise a duplicated pair of interacting Toll immunoreceptors and the cy…

The James Webb space telescope has revealed dazzling new detail of a previously known slice of the cosmos 32 million light-years away, in a new picture released by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).

The ISME Journal - Genomic diversity and biosynthetic capabilities of sponge-associated chlamydiae

Knowing it can be done and how to go about it is still a great step.

The James Webb space telescope has revealed dazzling new detail of a previously known slice of the cosmos 32 million light-years away, in a new picture released by NASA and the European Space Agency.

NASA is preparing for their "Armageddon"-like mission of crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid, and they want the public to watch live.

Arctic lakes are drying up. A new study offers clues as to why—and what can be done to slow the loss.

Voyager 1 started sending garbled information to Earth in May. Engineers say they've solved the problem, but they're not sure what triggered it.

Researchers from the Institute of Physics at the Nicolaus Copernicus University participated in research into the intensities of the overtone lines. Teams from the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the U.S. and the Physikalisch-Technische Bund…

What is the connection between boron, an element in a common household cleaner, and tokamaks, ring-shaped fusion facilities that heat fuel to million-degree temperatures? Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory …

Three experimental groups and a team of theoreticians, various laboratories, different methods, and the results of their measurements of the intensities of the overtone lines all came to a promille level of agreement. This is the first case of its kind. The t…

The space probe left Earth in 1977, and it's still running—with some hiccups.

Earlier this year, the Voyager 1 spacecraft — over 14 billion miles from Earth — started sending NASA some wacky...

Scientists have discovered that the evolution of land plants caused a sudden shift in the composition of Earth's continents.

This is a theory proposed by numerous experts, as it has been shown that the Earth is moving away from its orbit through the action of a massive interstellar object, which could be

A superheated steam dishwasher could kill bacteria on a plate in 25 seconds, say experts at Technical University of Dortmund and Technical University of Munich.
