NASA says an "interrupted flow" of helium to the rocket system could require a rollback to the Vehicle Assembly Building. If it happens, NASA says the launch to the moon would be delayed until April.

Some dinosaurs were scaly, some were covered in bony plates of armor, and others were even feathered.

When a great white shark got trapped in a shallow saltwater pond in Massachusets, Greg Skomal was called to help. Here’s how the experts tried to free her

Immediately after the Big Bang boomed, the Universe was a trillion-degree 'soup' of unimaginably dense plasma.

If you’re interested in extraterrestrial life, these past few years have given an embarrassment of places to look, even in our own solar system. Mars has been an obvious choice since before t…

A bold new experiment probed whether controlled fire tornadoes could be an effective tool for cleaning up oil spills.

Scientists find seismic scars in Brzegi, Poland and warn that the actual risk from an unknown fault line is much greater than believed.

An international team of astronomers has discovered a distant planetary system that challenges long-standing theories of how planets form. Across our galaxy, astronomers routinely observe a characteristic pattern in planetary systems: rocky planets orbiting c…

An unexpected change is sweeping through one of the world’s largest oceans, a shift that scientists are describing as “astonishing.”

A remarkable fossil found in Morocco shows that Late Cretaceous oceans were filled with giant predators unlike today’s marine ecosystems.

Drawing together leading experts from across the field, an international collaboration of cosmologists has created a unified approach for measuring the value of the Hubble constant. Published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, the milestone could bring us a step cl…

Researchers generated images from noise, using orders of magnitude less energy than current generative AI models require.

This ultra-rare cosmic ray hit earth with 40 million times the lhc’s energy. Now scientists think they know where it came from.

Is an orbiting space station necessary to achieve lunar objectives, including scientific ones?

Researchers used three different methods to date the site, challenging the preexisting notion of the site being between 1.2 and 1.6 million years old.

This week in the scientific process: researchers reported the first-ever shark sighted in Antarctic waters. Penguins beware! Biologists report that honey bees navigate more precisely than previously thought. And not all humans scare wildlife, it turns out.

Don't miss the chance to see six planets will line up in the night sky this Saturday.

Like rocks, egg shells can trap isotopes, allowing us to use them to date samples.

In the depths of Germany, a 290-million-year-old fossilized vomit has just revealed an unexpected story of life long before dinosaurs.

Scientists may have spotted a long-sought triplet superconductor — a material that can transmit both electricity and electron spin with zero resistance. That ability could dramatically stabilize quantum computers while slashing their energy use. Early experim…

In places like Chernobyl and Fukushima, where nuclear disasters have flooded the environment with dangerous radiation, it makes sense that life might evolve ways to survive it.

"If confirmed, it could help us better understand both our own galaxy and general relativity as a whole."

But this is why they didn't drink it.
