NASA has given three companies $5 million contracts to develop mini reactors capable of generating nuclear power on the moon by 2031.

But that’s not to say that the moon hasn’t seen its fair share of asteroid impacts.

How many galaxies should we see shortly after the Big Bang?

Scientific Reports - Strong interfacial Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya induced in Co due to contact with NiO

Scientific Reports - Spatio-temporal photolysis rate profiles of UV254 irradiated toluene

Out in the depths of the galaxy are all sorts of unusual exoplanets, from freezing cold ice giants to ultra-hot gas giants — and many have weird weather, too.

For the first time in the history of observations, scientists have systematized information about all forms of atmospheric halos recorded by mankind at the end of 2021. From numerous sources of data on observations, the history of which includes 4-5 millennia…

Black holes with varying light signatures but that were thought to be the same objects being viewed from different angles are actually in different stages of th

Worms can discriminate between more than 1000 scents but how they do this has puzzled scientists for decades. A new finding that a protein called arrestin is key to this process has implications that stretch beyond worm olfaction and could help explain how th…

A fireball entered the Earth's atmosphere about 45 miles southeast of Austin, Texas, and briefly illuminated the night sky on Sunday evening.

Precise measurement of the systems status in nanocavities is crucial for study of the light-matter interactions at nanoscale. Towards this goal, Scientist in China adopted a gap-mode plasmonic structure by coupling A excitons of MoS2 to investigate the longit…

For the first time in the history of observations, scientists from the Helsinki and Ural Federal Universities Jarmo Moilanen and Maria Gritsevich have systemati

Baby marmosets begin practising the face and mouth movements necessary to call their family for help before they are born, shows a study published today in eLi

Why did some dinosaurs have such big heads and such tiny arms?

Energy, mass, velocity. These three variables make up Einstein's iconic equation E=MC2. But how did Einstein know about these concepts in the first place? A precursor step to understanding physics is identifying relevant variables. Without the concept of ener…

Scientists observe nanoparticles ripening in solution at record-breaking resolution.

A physics puzzle is resolved through a new duality. According to traditional thinking, distorting a flat space by bending it or stretching it is necessary to create a curved space. A group of scientists at Purdue University has developed a new technique for m…

It's too soon to tell where the 25-ton piece of space junk will come down.

The stars help astronomers estimate when neutron stars collapse into black holes.

Fresh images based on brand new space data appear to indicate that the wormhole is spinning in front of you. The well-named “Phantom Galaxy” is by Judy

In a rare move, the "eccentric" former billionaire who prefers flying economy, and has generously donated more than $500 million to Australian causes, accepts an accolade in Queensland.

A promising new work is underway to pursue an interstellar robotic mission in deep space. This project is called Interstellar Probe, and this project can

Water is life, but for all its importance, humanity has a surprisingly limited view of Earth’s freshwater bodies. Researchers have reliable water level measurements for only a few thousand lakes around the world, and little to no data on some of the planet’s …

Research drawing on the quantum "anti-butterfly effect" solves a longstanding experimental problem in physics and establishes a method for benchmarking the performance of quantum computers.
