NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope confirms one supernova remnant as a launch site for some of our galaxy’s highest-energy protons.

NASA uses lasers to send information to and from Earth, employing invisible beams to traverse the skies, sending terabytes of data to increase our knowledge of the universe.

Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice, doubling previous estimates of losses from the world's largest ice sheet over the past 25 years, a satellite analysis showed

WASHINGTON: Tyrannosaurus rex possessed awe-inspiring bite force, with the huge meat-eating dinosaur's bone-crunching chomp estimated to pack about 3,630kg of might - about equal to the weight of three small cars. This bite strength was aided in T rex and oth…

Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology announced that a research team led by Professor Seo Dae-ha of the Department of Physics and Chemistry developed a dark field super-resolution microscope with excellent spatial and temporal resolution and obs…

Electrolysis might be a familiar concept from chemistry lessons in school: Two electrodes are immersed in water and put under voltage. This voltage causes water molecules to break down into their components, and gas bubbles rise at the electrodes: Oxygen gas …

The cyclic universe model proposes a universe with no beginning, but a new study shows it might need a beginning after all.

Tiling patterns can be found thoughout the natural world - from honeycomb to fish scales. But now researchers have come up with a new way to create patterns ...

Antarctica’s coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice, doubling previous estimates of losses from the world's largest ice sheet over the past 25 years, a satellite analysis showed on Wednesday.

Antarctica Ice Sheet could cause nearly half a metre of sea-level rise by 2100

According to NASA, the supermoon will appear at around 9:36pm or 6:36pm PT or during the early hours of August 12 around 1:30am. EDT.

Researchers from ETH Zurich discover the first definitive proof that the Moon inherited indigenous noble gases from the Earth’s mantle. The discovery represents a significant piece of the puzzle towards understanding how the Moon and, potentially, the Earth a…

A new study corrects an important error in the 3D mathematical space developed by the Nobel Prize–winning physicist Erwin Schrödinger and others and used by scientists and industry for more than 100 years to describe how your eye distinguishes one color from …

Primordial black holes have a negligible effect on star formation. Cosmological hydrodynamic zoom-in simulations used to study gravity hydrodynamics, chemistry and cooling in structure formation and early star formation. XSEDE-allocated Stampede2 supercompute…

The SETI Institute’s Board of Trustees elected Dr. Stephen Trimberger as a new member at its meeting on July 29, 2022. Trimberger is a Silicon Valley technology veteran and a holder of approximately 250 patents. He joins the SETI Institute’s Board of Trustee…

The worst effects of global warming on the world’s largest ice sheet could be avoided if nations around the world succeed in meeting climate targets outlined in the Paris Agreement.

Tectonic plate movement could have provided oxygen to some of world's earliest life forms, suggests study by scientists at Newcastle University, UK, published in Nature Communications.

A stretch of DNA that hops around the human genome plays a role in premature aging disorders, scientists at the Salk Institute and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia have discovered.

With the technological advances in telescope instrumentation and software capabilities, it became necessary to streamline the observation process.

Discovery by Brazilian researchers featured on cover of the journal Nanoscale is noteworthy because of possible applications in next-generation electronic devices.

Layered double hydroxides are 2-dimensional nanomaterials that have a wide range of applications in many different fields. They can be found in nature or created in a lab with different properties that can make them useful in different ways. For example, they…

A new study shows that 87 genes have been affected by deletions or short insertions during the course of the mammoth’s evolution. The researchers note that their findings have implications for international efforts to resurrect extinct species, including the …

NASA has warned of a potentially hazardous asteroid will zoom past Earth at over 20,000 MPH later this week.

A new telescope image showcases two entangled galaxies that will eventually merge into one millions of years from now -- and previews the eventual, similar fate of our own Milky Way galaxy.
