Meet the animals that turn heat, wind and fire into killing tools

"This was many times more energetic than any similar event and more than any known explosion powered by the collapse of a star."

: Synthetic cephalopod skin could be used in architecture and computer displays as well as background-matching subterfuge

One of the critical aspects of exoplanet habitability is the long-term stability of the stars they orbit.

Imagine a volcanic eruption so massive it could plunge the Earth into darkness, trigger widespread famine, and alter the planet’s climate for centuries.

Stone Age arrowheads found in South Africa showcase the knowledge and strategy of prehistoric hunter-gatherers, according to a new study.

NASA's Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) discovered an unknown phenomenon from the International Space Station, 55 miles above Earth.

The galaxy cluster appears hotter and more mature than it should for its young age, challenging what we think we know about how these cities of galaxies form.

Solar physicists say they have found a key source of intense gamma rays unleashed when Earth's nearest star produces its most violent eruptions.

Windows are a curse and a blessing. They let light in but solar heat as well. A new process could reduce solar gain.

Perseverance rover found a rock on Mars named Phippsaksla with so much iron and nickel that it could be a meteorite.

A fascinating fossil discovery in West Texas has revealed a surprising new range for an ancient plant-eating dinosaur.

How does a star affect the makeup of its planets? And what does this mean for the habitability of distant worlds? Carnegie's Luke Bouma is exploring a new way to probe this critical question—using naturally occurring space weather stations that orbit at least…

A large-scale analysis of 117 mammal species found that preventing reproduction is associated with longer lifespans, suggesting a strong link between reproductive activity and life expectancy. Why do some animals live for decades while others survive only a f…

If the rollout happens on NASA’s current schedule, astronauts could be headed back to the Moon next month.

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

"I think every astronomer is going to find something of value here."

A NOAA forecast suggest that Northern Lights may be visible in northern U.S. states Thursday, Jan. 8, through Friday, Jan. 9, as solar wind conditions intensify.

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of chemical reactions to producing highly reliable weather forecasts. For now, however, they remain extremely sensitive to environmental dis…

When a meteor breaks apart above Earth, it’s a rare spectacle. But when it’s caught on camera from the ISS, it becomes something extraordinary.

Jupiter reaches opposition on Jan. 10, but it provides a good sky show through the entire month.

The Kepler’s supernova remnant continues to expand and expand.

A "boring" time period may not have been so boring after all.

Scientists drilled to the bottom of Greenland's 1,600-foot deep Prudhoe Dome and found it disappeared in the early Holocene, when temperatures were close to what we're predicted to reach by the end of the century.
