In a recent study published in Space Physics, an international team of researchers discuss an in-depth study examining the long-term physiological effects of solar radiation on astronauts with emphasis on future astronauts traveling to Mars, to include steps …

Analysis of over 3000 scientists shows that scientists with high citation rates are also more likely to collaborate with successful peers

NASA's dramatic DART mission aims to deflect an asteroid off course in September as a planetary defense test. Here's how you can watch it live.

Nasa has developed a high-powered laser which could be used to find water on the Moon, a discovery crucial for humans to further explore Earth’s closest neighbour.

Analysis of the genome and proteome shows that eukaryotic evolution gave rise to the regulatory function of chromatin. Two meters of DNA must fit into a nucleus that is just 8 millionths of a meter wide in practically every human cell. DNA must wrap around st…

Researchers pulled a coelacanth caught in 1960 from its jar of alcohol in a museum and gave it an MRI. Doing so reveals some of the fish's mysterious ways.

The geological past of Mars is getting more complex with increasingly detailed observations

Scientists from the European Space Agency (ESA) have created the first water map of Mars, based on data from its Mars Express Observatory and NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

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 t

The James Webb Space Telescope has released its latest images, showcasing Jupiter in a way we’ve never seen before. And it’s mesmerising.

A SpaceX Starship that will land on the moon an on uncrewed test flight may only be a “skeleton” of the version of that will carry people on Artemis 3.

Days before the launch of NASA’s Artemis 1 mission to the moon, a picture of the lunar body has gone viral on social media.

A new study is analysing the ingredients of common tatoo inks and found that not all of them might be as safe as they should be.

NASA has issued a warning that an asteroid named Asteroid 2022 QR will just about miss Earth today as it flies by. Here's what we know about it.

As NASA's Mars Perseverance rover explores Jezero Crater on the red planet, scientists back at at Caltech are eagerly launching into what is quite possibly humanity's best chance for finding ancient signs of extraterrestrial life to date.In an effort

The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant spreads rapidly. Here the authors show that Omicron S preferentially adopts the one-RBD-up conformation, which leads to a non-RBM-binding monoclonal antibody escape. Mutagenesis reveals that S371L, S373P and S375F substitutions …

An international team of researchers led by Charles Cadieux, a Ph.D. student at the Université de Montréal and member of the Institute for Research on Exoplanets (iREx), has announced the discovery of TOI-1452 b, an exoplanet orbiting one of two small stars i…

Once believed to be the ninth planet from the sun, Pluto lost its planet status in 2006 — causing controversy both scientifically and culturally.
