China's Space Telescope has achieved a breakthrough in scientific simulation, laying the groundwork for its launch and a future of major discoveries in space exploration.

An owl snuck in the backdoor of a woman's house in Florida, then promptly fell asleep. Hours later, he continued to snooze. When a rescuer arrived, he moved from room to room before heading out.

The way Sahelanthropus tchadensis moved has long been debated. The discovery of a small bump on the front of the thigh bone is "beyond convincing" evidence this ape was bipedal.

To understand how global warming could influence future climate, scientists look to the Paleogene Period that began 66 million years ago, covering a time when Earth's atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were two to four times higher than they are today.

Scientists say all signs indicate the so-called "megaberg" could be just days or weeks from totally disintegrating.

Scientists have discovered thriving colonies of marine life growing where no one expected, on floating plastic deep in the Pacific Ocean.

China’s Rover Zhurong has just made a groundbreaking discovery on Mars that challenges everything we thought we knew about the planet’s history.

A massive diamond just unearthed in Botswana has stunned scientists, not for its size, but for a shocking feature hidden inside. Split perfectly in two, the gem holds secrets that could rewrite what we know about Earth's ancient past.

Breaking the plasma density limit brings researchers a step closer to viable fusion reactors.

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting stronger and stronger upper limits, so alternative scenarios have to be considered."

Jupiter reaches opposition on Jan. 10, when it will shine all night at its brightest as Earth moves between the giant planet and the sun.

Most astronomers agree that young galaxy clusters should be relatively cool compared to older ones. But researchers recently found a very young cluster that’s hotter than the surface of the sun. More on why the finding is so shocking, plus elephant’s remarkab…

When objects are gravitationally bound, they cannot escape from one another's influence. How does that work within the expanding Universe?

The crew is highly trained, and they came to the aid of their colleague right away."

Reconstructed ancient enzymes reveal how cannabis evolved specialized cannabinoid production while offering new tools for biotechnology and medicine. Where do familiar cannabis compounds such as THC, CBD, and CBC come from? Scientists at Wageningen University…

Animals have evolved crab-like bodies at least five times throughout history, a process known as carcinization.

When the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS was first imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope on July 21st, 2025, it became evident that the glowing…

"Nothing in my professional training as an X-ray astronomer had prepared me for something like this."

A quantum trick based on interferometric measurements allows a team of researchers at LMU to detect even the smallest movements of a laser beam with extreme sensitivity.

For decades, fossils discovered in Alaska were believed to belong to ancient mammoths, but recent testing has shocked scientists!

Astronomers have revealed a new type of cosmic object called Cloud-9 — a dim, starless gas cloud anchored by a massive dark matter halo that may be the first-confirmed failed galaxy.

Could this be a gateway to subterranean shelters for future explorers?

One of the test stands was last used as a drop tower for microgravity testing.

NASA expects to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope as soon as September, seeing it as evidence the agency can do flagships on cost and schedule.

A group of scientists, including Sergey Frolov, professor of physics at the University of Pittsburgh, and co-authors from Minnesota and Grenoble have undertaken several replication studies centered around topological effects in nanoscale superconducting or se…
