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 the life cycle, according to a study led by Dartmouth researchers.

Turning off a gene called “Myc” has a surprising effect in male fruit flies: They start courting other males.

A new study discussed a novel method to synthesize and decorate strontium (Sr) nanoparticles on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) for their applications in bone tissue engineering.

What is radioactive decay and is it possible to predict?

No, it wasn’t necromancy..

New images from the European Space Agency provide a fresh look at features within Mars' gigantic Valles Marineris.

No, it wasn’t necromancy.

Extreme cooling events during the last glacial, known as Heinrich Events in the North Atlantic, are a good example of how local processes change the global climate. While the impacts of Heinrich Events on the global glacial environment are well-documented in …

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…
