The core of NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft has taken center stage in the Spacecraft Assembly Facility at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Standing 10 feet (3 meters) high and 5 feet (1.5 meters) wide, the craft's main body will…

Using new computational algorithms, scientists have measured a sharp ring of light predicted to originate from photons whipping around the back of a supermassive black hole.

Scientists have turned to the power of high-performance computing (HPC), using the Hawk supercomputer at the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) to better understand a new, novel material called cluster glass and how it might serve as a next-ge…

Cannibalization can occur when the sun launches two eruptions within a short period of time.

Do you have PhD in mathematics and are you ready for a new challenge? As a postdoc, you can work on

A study by a team of scientists including three from Stony Brook University proposes a novel method to search for new particles not currently contained in the s

The authors of today’s paper simulate in impeccable detail the first few minutes of a binary-driven hypernova (the brighter cousin of a supernova) while paying close attention to how the dynamics affect the companion neutron star. They predict several observa…

Clam shells and climate simulations show that the Gulf of Maine suddenly started warming after 900 years of gradual cooling.

Editor's note: Aug 16 update: Due to bad weather, the Saturn opposition webcast from The Virtual Telescope Project has been rescheduled for Tuesday

The new phase was made by firing lasers at 10 ytterbium ions inside a quantum computer.

After a surprise result from a long-running observation campaign, the Lucy mission can add one more asteroid to the list. On March 27, Lucy’s science team discovered that the smallest of the mission’s Trojan asteroid targets, Polymele, has a satellite of its …

The Lunar Zebro has been developed by students of Delft University of Technology. If launched successfully, Zebro will be the smallest rover sent to the Moon.

The defense of mental impairment gives a defendant reasons for their crime to be forgiven, but such a plea can have lingering negative effects on a person's social standing and even civil rights, a new study led by Flinders University finds.

In exploring a family of two-dimensional crystals, a husband-and-wife team is uncovering a potent variety of new electron behaviors.

Sunspot AR3078 shot out two ejections of particles, energy and light this week, but the second gobbled up the first. This has created a 'mish mash of the two' that will likely cause strong geometric storms.

TOKYO: Water may have been brought to Earth by asteroids from the outer edges of the solar system, scientists said after analyzing rare samples collected on a six-year Japanese...

Stunning new images created by Keele researchers highlight the turbulent flow of energy inside distant stars.

The results showed that mice that had their whiskers cut between days 12 and 16 of their lives had poorer social interaction at maturity, according to the scientists.

Some exoplanets could be discovered by tuning into their radio transmissions.

Breakthrough could help address climate change on Earth too, scientists say

When scientists unveiled humanity's historic first image of a black hole in 2019—depicting a dark core encircled by a fiery aura of material falling toward it—they believed even richer imagery and insights were waiting to be teased out of the data.

An international team of researchers came up with a plasma-based way to produce and separate oxygen within the Martian environment. It's a complementary approach to NASA's Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, and it may deliver high rates of m…

One month after the first James Webb Space Telescope images were released, these photos show previously hidden parts of our universe.

First observations of hydrodynamic electron behaviour could be exploited to make more efficient electronics
