NASA’s Lucy mission is heading to the Jupiter Trojans – two swarms of unexplored asteroids trapped in Jupiter’s orbit. Lucy made a picture-perfect launch on ...

It was just a piece of junk sitting in the back of a lab at the MIT Nuclear Reactor facility, ready to be disposed of. But it became the key to demonstrating a more comprehensive way of detecting atomic-level structural damage in materials—an approach that wi…

In Part 2 of this 2-part guide to applying to astro/physics postdocs, a few Astrobites authors share tips on applying to postdoc opportunities, based on their own personal experience.

A recent discovery in the field of quantum physics has opened the doorway to a whole new way of looking at our physical reality.

Time is flying. Literally.

Common belief was that humans first settled in North America about 16,000 years ago. New research suggests that might not be true.

The gigantic crater was spotted from the plane as it flew over Arizona - it was formed around 50,000 years ago when a 300ton meteor hurtled towards the earth creating a huge explosion

What would you do with an otherwise healthy spacecraft?

One of the most powerful volcanic eruptions on the planet blasted such a massive amount of water vapor high into the atmosphere that it's likely to temporarily warm the Earth's surface, according to detections from a NASA satellite.

An unprecedented number of crystallography database entries are undergoing extra checks amid fears that they are based on fabricated data.

The robot is named MIRA, which stands for “miniaturized in-vivo robotic assistant,” and will hitch a ride to the ISS in 2024.

The latest from synthetic embryo research marks a significant shift in our scientific capacity to "create life". Are we ready for it?

Using single calcite crystals with varying surface roughness allows engineers to simplify the complex physics that describes fault movement. Researchers now show how this simplification may lead to better earthquake prediction.

Researchers have discovered that super-eruptions occur when huge accumulations of magma deep in the Earth's crust, formed over millions of years, move rapidly to the surface disrupting pre-existing rock.

The worldwide distribution of one of the most important cereal pathogens is the result of human activity. Researchers have traced the history and spread of wheat powdery mildew along wheat trade routes and found that mixing of genetic ancestries of related po…
