Holes in the sun can beam out solar material at 500 miles per second.

The researchers identified a library of synthetic polymers and screened them for their ability to induce biofilm formation in E. coli, a bacterium that is one of the most widely studied micro-organisms, and commonly used in biocatalysis.

The Earth spun faster around its axis on June 29, making it the shortest day since the planet's rotation began being measured with atomic clocks in the 1960s.

With back to school in sight, you might feel as though summer is coming to a close. Well, there’s one more summer event you might want to do before the time comes: the August supermoon.

The animal lived before the rise of the dinosaurs and was likely amphibious.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have described the way an enzyme and proteins interact to maintain the protective caps, called telomeres, at the end of chromosomes, a new insight into how a human cell preserves the integrity of its DNA thro…

Electrons find each other repulsive. Nothing personal—it's just that their negative charges repel each other. So getting them to pair up and travel together, like they do in superconducting materials, requires a little nudge.

Atoms are notoriously difficult to control. They zigzag like fireflies, tunnel out of the strongest containers and jitter even at temperatures near absolute zero.

The meteors in the Perseid meteor shower are remnants of the comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle which orbits the sun every 133 years, according to NASA.

Physicists and biologists teamed up to answer an evolutionary question about lizards and then developed a robot that could go to the Moon.

This image from NASA's Mars Odyssey shows a section of Mamers Valles. The channel is nearly 1000 km long (600 miles).

Lindy Elkins-Tanton, now principal investigator of NASA's Psyche asteroid mission, offers a very human view of her experiences in science and life alike in her new memoir, 'A Portrait of the Scientist

The blue streaks on the martian surface are a beautiful sight. The martian region visible in these images is called Gamboa Crater. It is located in the northern hemisphere of the planet

Lee and colleagues reveal a previously unrecognized population of astrocytes in the aged brain with disrupted proteostatic signaling that generates defects in astrocyte morphology, protein trafficking and synapse maintenance in the aging hippocampus.

Birmingham scientists have revealed a new method to increase efficiency in biocatalysis, in a paper published today in Materials Horizons.

Crew members aboard the International Space Station conducted scientific investigations during the week of July 25 that included evaluating production of fiber optic cable in space, demonstrating conversion of inedible plant material into edible protein, and …
