Depending on how dark the sky is in your location, rates of 25 to 100 meteors per hour are possible.

LONDON: The world's biggest ice sheet could cause "several metres" of sea-level rise over centuries if the global temperature rises more than 2 degrees Celsius, according to a British study published Wednesday (Aug 10). Researchers at Durham University conclu…

An analysis of scholarly research papers published in the last 50 years provides new insights into trends in research productivity, highlighting an overall increase in productivity and a worldwide gender gap. Milad Haghani of the University of New South Wales…

By studying the wing properties of a 150-year-old holotype, scientists discover that the songs of a relict group of singing insects have remained largely unchanged since the Jurassic, producing pure-tone songs at low frequencies (about 5kHz) which could trave…

Researchers have used the coldest systems in the universe to realize in the laboratory gauge theories, key models of modern physics that describe the fundamental forces of Nature and the behavior of complex quantum materials.

A research team led by Prof. Yang Jun from the Institute of Urban Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has explored the spatial distribution of phytoplankton and zooplankton communities in 24 reservoirs in Southeast China.

Humankind has maintained an enduring fascination with the moon. It was not until Galileo's time, however, that scientists really began study it. Over the course of nearly five centuries, researchers put forward numerous, much debated theories as to how the mo…

NASA is preparing to launch the world's most powerful moon rocket in mere weeks, but there's plenty at stake as the moment approaches.

NASA and ESA, the agencies which manage Hubble, released a picture of a star cluster which was named globular cluster NGC 6638. NASA said that it belonged to the constellation Sagittarius.

Invasive plant species do more than harm agriculture and native species as they reshape landscapes. They also cause economic losses of more than $20 billion annually in the U.S. alone. Identifying where and how quickly invasive plants are spreading is critica…

These events are rare and even more infrequently captured on camera.

Jonathan Pober, an assistant professor of physics, was one of six early-career researchers from across the U.S. to receive NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Technology Fellowship in Astrophysics.

A solar storm hit Earth on August 7 at 372 miles (600 km) a second. Space weather experts rated the new solar storm as G2 class.

The East Antarctic Ice Sheet could add up to 16 feet to sea levels in the long term if Paris climate accord targets aren’t met, according to a new study.

Analysis - The world's largest and heaviest living carnivore is not a big cat, a bear or a wolf: it's the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina). Bulls of this species can be 5 metres long and can weigh up to 3,500kg. The Cape fur seal, meanwhile, can grow…
