Do you want to know about a new environmentally friendly way to make TV Screens, what future space warfare might look like, and how we have finally completely unraveled the human genome?

Regular, low-cost Decadal-class science missions to planetary destinations will be enabled by high-ΔV small spacecraft

Researchers have created a label-free, non-invasive Raman spectroscopy method that can capture microscopic images of biological specimens promptly and accurately identify a diversity of biomolecules.

In this podcast we learn how to cook with the Sun and how to create a scientific board game

Scientists at the University of Lisbon have used electron beams in a plasma reactor that astronauts could leverage to produce oxygen on the Red Planet.

Scientific Reports - Development of a novel anti-tuberculosis nanodelivery formulation using magnesium layered hydroxide as the nanocarrier and pyrazinamide as a model drug

The secret to lossless current flow is superconductors. However, the development of superconducting diodes has only lately emerged as a crucial area for basic research.

Highlighting the possibility that Nadir might have struck the planet a million or two years on either side of the Mexican cataclysm, professor Sean Gulick said that to find out whether they are the same or not the rocks from the west African crater are inspec…

Single-cell transcriptomics is revolutionizing the field of cell biology. This technique enables researchers to analyze the genes expressed in individual cells, which provides more information on the different cell types within tissues compared to bulk transc…

Topological insulators, or TIs, have two faces: Electrons flow freely along their surface edges, like cars on a superhighway, but can't flow through the interior of the material at all. It takes a special set of conditions to create this unique quantum state—…

Hitting a topological insulator with powerful pulses of circularly polarized laser light reveals what its electrons are doing – and how its surface switches f

Troves of sequencing data reveal genes tied to autism through different variant types, providing a more complete picture of the condition’s genetic roots and new clues to its heterogeneity.

The physics of collective motion has been well-studied for the last thirty years. Until now, scientists have focused on the study of "fluid" movements, such as those of flocks of birds or schools of fish. Now, using an ingenious experimental device, researche…

Researchers have published work in Advanced Materials describing a rapid and simple method to form ordered arrays of gold nanoparticles with plasmonic properties.

Recent research regarding a dinosaur nicknamed April, previously housed in the UK's Manchester Museum, has revealed rare new findings.

In the largest study of its kind, US researchers looked at the DNA of 150,000 participants, 20,000 of whom had diagnosed autism.

A Russian spacewalker had to rush back inside the International Space Station on Wednesday when the battery voltage in his spacesuit suddenly dropped.

The first batch of images from the James Webb Telescope has re-invigorated space exploration and the search for galaxies far beyond ours and with Canada's co...

A newly-discovered walking shark that breaks all of the rules for survival is the focus of a first-of-its-kind study that examined differences in walking and sw

Using the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), an international team of astronomers have detected a new accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar. The newfound pulsar, designated MAXI J1816–195, has a spin period of about 1.89 milliseconds. The findin…

The Solar system is constituted of a large number of natural satellites with various sizes and mass, and many of them influence the ambient environment of the Solar planets.
