Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers are developing a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence device for neutron scattering called Hyperspectral Computed Tomography, or HyperCT. The fully automated, AI-driven platform can rotate a sample in almost any …

A new technique opens a door to manufacturing of pressure-monitoring bandages, shade-shifting fabrics, or touch-sensing robots

Scientists embedded elementary particles called muons into a many-layered nickel oxide superconductor to learn more about its magnetic properties. They discovered that waves of flip-flopping electron spins create magnetic excitations that sweep through the ni…

A very special bonding state between atoms has been created in the laboratory: With a laser beam, atoms can be polarized so that they are positively charged on one side and negatively charged on the other. This makes them attract each other creating a very sp…

Scientists are baffled after discovering days are now shorter than they were 50 years ago.

The protective caps at the ends of chromosomes naturally shorten over time. Researchers found that direct damage can prematurely trigger senescence and contribute to age-related diseases like cancer.

Holes in the sun can beam out solar material at 500 miles per second.

The researchers identified a library of synthetic polymers and screened them for their ability to induce biofilm formation in E. coli, a bacterium that is one of the most widely studied micro-organisms, and commonly used in biocatalysis.

The Earth spun faster around its axis on June 29, making it the shortest day since the planet's rotation began being measured with atomic clocks in the 1960s.

With back to school in sight, you might feel as though summer is coming to a close. Well, there’s one more summer event you might want to do before the time comes: the August supermoon.

The animal lived before the rise of the dinosaurs and was likely amphibious.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have described the way an enzyme and proteins interact to maintain the protective caps, called telomeres, at the end of chromosomes, a new insight into how a human cell preserves the integrity of its DNA thro…

Electrons find each other repulsive. Nothing personal—it's just that their negative charges repel each other. So getting them to pair up and travel together, like they do in superconducting materials, requires a little nudge.

Atoms are notoriously difficult to control. They zigzag like fireflies, tunnel out of the strongest containers and jitter even at temperatures near absolute zero.

The meteors in the Perseid meteor shower are remnants of the comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle which orbits the sun every 133 years, according to NASA.

Physicists and biologists teamed up to answer an evolutionary question about lizards and then developed a robot that could go to the Moon.

This image from NASA's Mars Odyssey shows a section of Mamers Valles. The channel is nearly 1000 km long (600 miles).

Lindy Elkins-Tanton, now principal investigator of NASA's Psyche asteroid mission, offers a very human view of her experiences in science and life alike in her new memoir, 'A Portrait of the Scientist

The blue streaks on the martian surface are a beautiful sight. The martian region visible in these images is called Gamboa Crater. It is located in the northern hemisphere of the planet

At the upper end of its estimated size range, the asteroid would stand as tall as the Empire State Building in New York City.

The social media space has been awash with reports that the world's richest man and founder of SpaceX, Elon Musk, is set to unveil his latest investment,

In a new study, researchers at Cedars-Sinai found that antibiotics have sex-specific effects on the gut microbiome makeup of male and female laboratory rats. Th
