Likely to survive in the oral cavity, bacteria have evolved to divide along their longitudinal axis without parting from one another. A research team co-led by environmental cell biologist Silvia Bulgheresi from the University of Vienna and microbial genetici…

An astonishing study based on geologic evidence shows evidence of a second rock hitting West Africa

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida: The world’s newest and biggest space telescope is showing Jupiter as never before, auroras and all. Scientists released the shots on Monday (Aug 22) of the solar system's biggest planet. The James Webb Space Telescope took the photos …

Mars is dry and seemingly lifeless today, but billions of years ago it had lots and lots of water.

The history of water on Mars flows a lot deeper than scientists once believed. A new project has mapped hundreds...

Climate scientists are banking on a European Space Agency’s satellite to reveal how much of a role forests play within the carbon cycle, as Sky's Tom Clarke ...

The satellites streaked across the sky Friday and Saturday night. Here's how you can see them on Monday and other nights this week.

Against the backdrop of a rapidly warming planet, the need to better understand the nature and long-term impact of positive climatic feedback loops—processes that accelerate the effects of warming—becomes critically important.

Some of these galaxies might seem familiar, but stare a little longer and you'll find a few new wonders.

The crust has survived massive amounts of upheaval and change.

“The whole thing is assembled like a mosaic, and each tile is made up of thousands of photos,” astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy said.

Cutting-edge analysis of fossil ape teeth reveals ancient seasonal change in Africa, long before human ancestors appeared. The method will be crucial for the future study of early hominins.

Similar robots could one day conduct remote and autonomous surgery in deep space.

Researchers have used an atomically thin material to build a device that can change the color of laser beams. Their microscopic device -- a fraction of the size of conventional color converters -- may yield new kinds of ultra-small optical circuit chips and a…

Researchers led by Osaka University shed light on a metabolic network integrated by an oral microbe Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum). Analysis of co-cultures of F. nucleatum with other commensal oral bacteria revealed that metabolic cross-feeding enable…

For ages, researchers have pondered the mystery of why, kilo for kilo, larger animals consume less food and expend less energy than smaller ones.

Taylor & Francis has announced the beginning of a 6-month pilot of Proofig image integrity software, as part of an ongoing program to prevent image duplication and manipulation in academic journal articles.

A highly detailed 3D simulation may have solved the mystery of how the mass of stars is set, finding star formation is a self-regulating process.

The low-temperature operation of non-aqueous sodium-based batteries is affected by the properties of the electrolyte. Here the authors propose specific electrolyte formulations that are thermally stable down to −150 °C and enable a stable electrode|electrolyt…

The powerful infrared telescope captured images of Jupiter's auroras, which are the brightest in the solar system.
