NASA will provide a dedicated Artemis 1 tracking website.

Scientists have solved the whodunit of cryptic overtone signals in an analysis of molybdenum diselenide, an atomically thin crystal lattice with desirable properties unique from its bulkier three-dimensional form.

Without protection from the Earth's atmosphere, the sun becomes more deadly for humans. And we need some tools to survive the solar radiation.

Engineers and technicians use a crane to lift the main body of NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft in the High Bay 1 clean room of the Spacecraft Assembly Facility at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

This image from NASA's Mars Odyssey shows a part of an unnamed crater in Terra Cimmeria. The finger-like projection from the southern rim towards the central peak is a landslide deposit.

But we probably won't reach the planet until the 2040s.

Astronomers can use the gravitational waves of merging black holes to measure cosmic expansion.

A "super-Earth" discovered using the TESS satellite might be a "water world," though more observations are needed.

The evolutionary origins of animals and fungi has been unravelled. The findings, published in the journal Nature, demonstrate how genomic data and powerful computational methods allow scientists to answer fundamental questions in evolutionary biology that wer…

Behold the surreal beauty of southern lights in these awe-inspiring new space shots by astronaut Samantha Cristoretti.

A Skoltech research team made a systematic review of publications on in vitro biocompatibility of carbon nanotubes and identified the manufacturing parameters that could make them safe for living organisms. The scientists selected about 200 papers published o…

Researchers say it is ‘first example of an engineering material that can simultaneously sense, think and act upon mechanical stress without requiring additional circuits to process such signals’

Detailed ancestral gene content reconstruction shows that the large phenotypic differences between Metazoa and Fungi are the outcome of sharply contrasting trajectories of genomic changes that predated the origin of both groups.

An international team of researchers with a central contribution from researchers at the Dept. of Biological Physics at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) has unraveled the evolutionary origins of animals and fungi.

A new analysis of a beaver anklebone fossil found in Montana suggests the evolution of semi-aquatic beavers may have occurred at least 7 million years earlier than previously thought, and happened in North America rather than Eurasia.

Analyses of a thigh bone and a pair of elbow bones from Sahelanthropus tchadensis discovered in Chad suggest that the earliest hominin exhibited bipedalism with substantial arboreal clambering.

The earliest known human ancestor walked on two feet as well as climbing through trees around seven million years ago, scientists said Wednesday after studying three limb bones.

Getting precious Mars rocks into Earthbound labs is an unprecedented challenge. We'll learn how a lander, a rocket, a big solar-powered transfer vehicle and two helicopters will take on this task.

Polaritons described by model for interfaces.

A versatile strategy for preparing porous water.

It took hundreds of thousands of exposures to get this level of detail, and you can now enjoy the fruits of their labors -- all 174 megapixels of it.
