Recently analyzed data from an asteroid surface-sample collection performed by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has revealed…

Background Sand flies vector several human pathogens, including Leishmania species, which cause leishmaniases. A leishmaniasis vaccine does not yet exist, so the most common prevention strategies involve personal protection and insecticide spraying. However, …

Scottish astronomers use the new space telescope to spy a candidate for the most distant galaxy.

Currently, there isn’t much to see in the night sky of Alaska. But eventually the sky will be filled with visible stars. And the Kenai Community Library

It was just a week ago that the James Webb Space Telescope zeroed in on the "oldest galaxy" ever seen. Now a handful are vying for the crown.

Tridymite, a form of quartz, which is extremely rare on Earth, was found on the Martian Gale Crater in 2016 by the Curiosity rover and has been baffling scientists ever since its discovery.

Recently, speculation has been rife that either China or the U.S. may have aspirations to attempt a moon take-over.

This image from NASA's Mars Odyssey shows layering of surface materials in Meridiani Planum.

As a ball of ultra-hot gas, how does the sun rotate? This complex form of rotation drives some fascinating phenomena.

Research uses X-ray telescopes and a new data analysis technique to describe space objects.

Social media users are sharing a Top Gear video of a space shuttle rocket booster test and claiming it shows a NASA machine that can manipulate the weather. The test does produce a water vapor cloud, but its purpose is to test space shuttle rocket boosters, n…

NASA revealed that the Bennu asteroid underwent surface regeneration much earlier than previously thought, a discovery made using OSIRIS-REx images.

Julia R. Greer describes the potential of materials whose structures are organized at the smallest levels.

At the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), a new approach has been discovered by researchers to construct strong magnets that are smaller than before. This helps in the design and construction of machines.

A group of researchers from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory found a way to build powerful magnets much smaller than ever before.

Researchers have created a new glass-ceramic that emits light in response to mechanical stress, a property known as mechanoluminescence. With further development, the new material could be used to create a light source that is switched on by mechanical stress…

Scientists at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen recently announced the discovery of a massive triple-star system or a system with three Suns. The system, which is the first of its kind, has two Suns that orbit one another and a third mo…

Jupiter does have rings, but they are so faint they are often invisible. Now researchers have a theory about why.

Typhoon Bising (Surigae) has maximum sustained winds of 215 km/h on Saturday evening, April 17. If its winds exceed 220 km/h, it would reach super typhoon status.

Scientific collaboration with China can get complicated for international scientists.

New study sheds light on how the starfish evolved.

One of the easiest technological trends to predict in the coming decades is the improvement and penetration of sensors and algorithms. In short—more sensors, in more places, gathering more data, which are fed to better and better algorithms. Those algorithms …

One recent breakthrough in innovation is a computer that mimics the brain, which is being developed and patented by researchers at Penn State University.

The small form factor of the Raspberry Pi Zero W enables a new range of projects. Here are some cool projects you can build with your tiny Raspberry Pi Zero W.
