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.

A new AI program observed physical phenomena and uncovered relevant variables -- a necessary precursor to any physics theory. But the variables it discovered were unexpected.

SEOUL, July 27 (Korea Bizwire) — A senior official of the U.S. space agency has said he was “very impressed” by South …

A 400-foot wide asteroid will make a close approach to Earth on July 29, 2022. The asteroid, known as 2016 CZ31, is almost twice the height of Qutub Minar, which is 239 metres high.

This weekend is your best chance to see "shooting stars" in 2022 as three meteor showers reach their best nights simultaneously.

Sharks may have been perceived as one of the most terrifying aquatic animals, as suggested by many thrillers we see on television. Here are 5 of the world's largest sharks venturing in or around the border of the deep sea.

As NASA's Juno mission completed its 43rd close flyby of Jupiter on July 5, 2022, its JunoCam instrument captured this striking view of vortices near the planet's north pole.

China’s latest space mission was a success, sending the new Wentian lab module to its Tiangong space station, but the Long March 5B rocket booster (also referred to as a CZ-5B) that sent it to orbit is set to make an impact of its own... literally.

A team of researchers from NYU Abu Dhabi's Advanced Microfluidics and Microdevices Laboratory (AMMLab) have developed new kind of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) probes in true three-dimensional shapes they call 3DTIPs. AFM technology allows scientists to obser…

Both planets face dust storms—and the occasional flight delays that come with them.

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?

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…
