For years, scientists have struggled to solve the "plastic paradox"—the mystery of millions of tons of missing plastic.

A stunning new map of Antarctica reveals 332 hidden submarine canyons.

Astronomers have discovered a pristine galaxy that could be the missing piece in confirming the Big Bang theory.

Like humans, octopuses can fall for the rubber hand illusion and believe that a fake arm is theirs. This suggests they have a sense of their own body, just as we do.

"We are happy to confirm that we have a parachute design that can work on Mars — an ambitious system with the largest parachute ever to be flown outside Earth"

With each new discovery in paleontology, we are gradually moving away from the Hollywood-inspired image of dinosaurs popularized by the Jurassic Park series. One of the most striking shifts has been in how we envision their appearance. Rather than the tough-s…

This innovative solution could reshape the future of wind power, pushing the boundaries of aerospace engineering and sustainable energy production like never before.

An Australian lizard in the same genus as the komodo dragon has been found harboring secret bone chainmail under their scaly skin.

Beneath the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean lies a baffling mystery that has puzzled scientists for decades. A massive gravity anomaly, unlike anything else on Earth, is challenging our understanding of Earth's interior.

A shocking new study reveals humanity’s near-extinction event that nearly erased our species 1 million years ago. Only 1,280 individuals survived a dramatic population collapse triggered by environmental shifts.

A team led by UdeM researchers confirms a fifth potentially habitable planet around L 98-59, a red dwarf 35 light-years away.

This 2023 astronaut photo shows three glaciers merging into a single massive ice mass in the Karakoram mountains. The stripy glaciers have gained ice in recent decades, despite the effects of human-caused climate change.

New research predicts surprisingly large CP violation effects in charmed baryon decays, an essential step toward solving the universe's matter-antimatter imbalance. Scientists have long been intrigued by one of the universe's most enduring puzzles: why matter…

When the JWST began science observations in July 2022, it flung open a whole new window on the Universe.

Makenzie Lystrup’s departure from Goddard comes soon after the resignation of the director of JPL.

A test using atomic clocks will watch superpositions ride Earth’s curved space-time and see if Einstein can play nice with quantum mechanics

Named 2020 VN40, this tiny body completes one orbit around the Sun for every ten Neptune makes.

Physics professor John Cramer, 90, volunteers for pioneering mitochondrial transplant therapy aimed at extending human lifespan beyond 122 years.

Earth has been spinning faster for the past few years — a trend that could lead the world’s timekeeping institutions to take unprecedented action.

"The chemistry in this location is really strange and exciting."

IN A NUTSHELL 🚀 Chinese scientists have developed a technology to convert lunar soil into fuel and oxygen, aiding space exploration. 🌕 The technology uses a photothermal strategy to extract water from lunar soil and transform CO2 into usable resources. 🔍 C…
