First-light images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have revealed a 163,000-light-year stream of stars emanating from the M61 galaxy, suggesting a violent ...

"Remarkable" findings from Yonsei University cast doubt on 'dark energy' theory and claim there is "no evidence" of an accelerating universe.

Aging stars destroy their planets more often than we thought: What does this mean for Earth?

Finding a fingerprint on the casing of a fired bullet was once a nearly impossible task.

Jupiter's volcanic moon Io may be hundreds of times hotter than scientists thought

In California's Death Valley National Park, one native species is loving the blistering weather.

A new study led by researchers from Oxford University, Southwest Research Institute and the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona has provided the first evidence of significant heat flow at Enceladus's north pole, overturning previous assumptions tha…

JWST makes 1st-ever detection of complex organic molecules around star in galaxy beyond our Milky Way

First image from Vera C. Rubin telescope reveals a previously unnoticed feature of galaxy M61 that may explain its mysterious properties.

Astronomers spotted a flaring black hole that may be consuming a star at least 30 times more massive than the sun. At its peak, the flare was brighter than 10 trillion stars.

This technological tradition lasted longer than Homo sapiens have even been a species.

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica—often called the "Doomsday Glacier"—is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems on Earth, and its future remains a major uncertainty in global sea-level rise projections. One of its floating extensions, the Thwaites Ea…

Research teams from the Academia Sinica and National Taiwan University have documented the first discovery of five freshwater mollusk species in the Early Pleistocene Tananwan Formation of northern Taiwan. This pivotal finding, which demonstrates that some pr…

To study the inner workings of an atom's nucleus, scientists have traditionally relied on sophisticated particle colliders to blast nuclei apart with electrons.

It might be small but it sure is mighty...

Picturing how our species might appear in the far future can invite wild speculation over standout features such as height, brain size, and skin complexion. Yet subtle shifts in our anatomy today demonstrate how unpredictable evolution can be.

The Jetson One personal aircraft was recently demonstrated in a four-vehicle aerial race. The aircraft is designed for a single person, takes off and hovers like a helicopter, and can go up to 1,500 feet off the ground.

Lunar meteors hit differently.

What can you see when you look up tonight?

A research team has unveiled a small molecule that hunts down a cancer-enabling RNA and quietly erases it. Researchers have designed a groundbreaking drug molecule capable of precisely eliminating TERRA, an RNA molecule that some cancer cells rely on to survi…

We've now detected hundreds of gravitational waves with LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA. What if we tried Weber's original method in the modern day?

Octopuses and other cephalopods are masters of camouflage, thanks largely to color-changing skin that can help them seemingly vanish into the background.
