The unique oscillations in binary neutron stars right before they merge could have big implications for the insights scientists can glean from gravitational wave detection.

By harnessing the capabilities of the 8.1-meter Gemini South telescope in Chile, which is part of the International Gemini Observatory operated by NSF’s NOIRLab, astronomers have obtained the sharpest image ever of the star R136a1, the most massive known star…

When some materials are cooled to a certain temperature, they lose electric resistance, becoming superconductors.

NASA has selected four mission proposals submitted to the agency’s Explorers Program for further study. The proposals include missions that would study exploding stars, distant clusters of galaxies, and nearby galaxies and stars. Two Astrophysics Medium Expl…

<p>Jupiter&#x27;s icy moon Europa is an ocean world encased beneath a thick crust of ice – a place where snow floats upward.</p>

Several groups release research detailing previously unknown processes at play down south.

Washington [US], August 19 (ANI): Impacts affect the porosity and structure of moons and planets more dramatically than scientists suspected, increasing their potential habitability for life. Studying how those impacts affect planetary bodies, asteroids, moon…

The team behind CEERS has put together the James Webb's largest image to date, focusing in on six galaxies they plan to study more.

When some materials are cooled to a certain temperature, they lose electric resistance, becoming superconductors.

A team of researchers at Texas A&M University has developed a new class of biomaterial inks that mimic native characteristics of highly conductive human tissue, much like skin, which are essential for the ink to be used in 3D printing.

New research from Flinders University has shown how two different species of dolphins are living harmoniously and us humans should take notes.

An international team of researchers has found a strain of cyanobacteria that could produce biomass on Mars and grow food for astronauts!

A team has uncovered surprising mechanical behaviors of the nucleus. For years, the nucleus within a cell was thought to be elastic like a rubber ball, deforming and snapping back into shape as the cell navigated through pores and between fibers inside the hu…

Underwater snow forms in the World Ocean and travels through the water to connect to submerged valleys and inverted ice caps, according to new research.

T cells are our immune system's customised tools for fighting infectious diseases and tumor cells. On their surface, these special white blood cells carry a receptor that recognizes antigens. With the help of cryo-electron microscopy, biochemists and structur…

Researchers used circularly polarized laser light to systematically probe the phase transition in which a topological insulator (TI) loses its quantum properties and becomes an ordinary insulator. The spiraling laser light generated harmonics -- much like the…

Researchers report an experimental demonstration of a space-to-ground quantum key distribution (QKD) network using a compact QKD terminal aboard the Chinese Space Lab Tiangong-2 and four ground stations. The demonstration represents an important step toward p…

This image was taken by Front Hazard Avoidance Camera (Front Hazcam) onboard NASA's Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 3565.

We thank Adam Koon and colleagues for their comments on our Series paper.1 They offer some thoughtful critiques of the paper and of framing research more broadly. Their argument on diversity in framing theory is especially valuable.

For centuries scientists have asked why large animals burn less energy and require less food than small ones. The answer may be evolution.

The approximately 10-foot-diameter (3-meter-diameter) HGA will beam back information from Europa Clipper’s nine instruments, which will gather data on Europa’s atmosphere, surface, and interior.

A newly developed statistical method is able to disentangle signals relayed between brain areas, even when the communication between the brain areas is bidirectional.

The Monkey Puzzle is just one of 8,000 tree species facing the threat of extinction in the wild.

Three natural compounds present in foods like green tea, olive oil and red wine are promising candidates for the development of drugs against the coronavirus. In a comprehensive screening of a large library of natural substances at DESY's X-ray source PETRA I…
