A new proposal for the origin of asymmetry and, by extension, the origin of life uses spin-polarized electrons to induce enantioselective chemistry in the prebiotic world.

Scientific Reports - Dimerization processes for light-regulated transcription factor Photozipper visualized by high-speed atomic force microscopy

Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine, chemists have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks.

NASA’s Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission will share a ride to space with NASA’s Jet Propulsion

Scientists at Newcastle University have uncovered a source of oxygen that may have influenced the evolution of life before the advent of photosynthesis.

Scientists recorded tarsiers' duets on an Indonesian island.

One convenient way to manipulate nanoscale objects with remote controllability is actuation and propulsion by light, which is largely based on optical and photothermal-induced forces. Unfortunately, the output of optical and photothermal-induced forces is sma…

Could let computers work at warp speed, save energy, and even make trains fly. Scientists have used DNA to overcome a nearly insurmountable obstacle to engineering materials that will revolutionize electronics. Published in the journal Science on July 28, the…

New studies of genetic material, or eDNA, shed by plants and animals are providing astonishing biological insights.

Scientists have established the presence of various species of the Arcobacter genus in a range of routinely consumed foodstuffs.<br /><br />

Light Start travels to the moon, to a game beta, to a place where bank accounts aren't working, and to an old Fitbit feature.

Single-cell approaches and deep learning construct the most complete and detailed map of embryo development in any animal to date.

Each August, Earth plows through a thick trail of debris left over from a passing comet. The result: A spectacular night of meteors lighting up the sky.

NASA studies data from space station instrument; Water-stressed plants help identify areas with greater fire risk

Researchers used stacks of 2D materials including graphene to trap liquid in order to further understand how the presence of liquid changes the behaviour of the solid.

China unveiled the first report on Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) event observed by the Mars Energetic Particle Analyzer (MEPA) carried on the country's Tianwen-1 spacecraft.

You can now wear the most detailed image of the universe ever taken. Last July, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured the clearest and deepest […]

The Curiosity rover has completed a decade on Mars, but, its arrival on the Red Planet was not easy and engineers could do nothing to help it.

To commemorate the 10 years of Curiosity Rover on Mars, the rover posted an amazing selfie from the surface of the Red Planet. Since landing on it in 2012, the Curiosity Rover has been on a mission to find out how Mars has evolved from a wet, habitable planet…

<p>A French scientist has apologised after tweeting a photo of a slice of chorizo, claiming it was an image of a distant star taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.</p>

The Perseverance rover has collected the 12th rock sample from Mars that will be sent to Earth by future mission. The samples are likely to arrive on Earth in 2033.

In the beginning, there was boredom. Following the emergence of cellular life on earth, some 3.5 billion years ago, simple cells lacking a nucleus and other detailed internal structure dominated the planet. Matters would remain largely unchanged in terms of e…
