Disc of gas whirling around star found for the first time in another galaxy

Researchers have found the earliest-known fossil mosquito in Lower Cretaceous amber from Lebanon. What's more, the well-preserved insects are two males of the same species with piercing mouthparts, suggesting they likely sucked blood. That's noteworthy becaus…

Himalayan Glaciers fight back to preserve themselves, but for how long? An international team of researchers explains a stunning phenomenon: rising global temperatures have led Himalayan glaciers to increasingly cool the air in contact with the ice surface. T…

"Comparing rocks from different ages is important because Mars, like Earth, had environments that evolved and changed through time."

Just like there are waves in the ocean, waves can also occur in an electrically charged gas called a plasma, made up of electrons and ions. In the ocean, people surf by riding their boards at nearly the same speed as the waves. This matching condition, called…

A "clutter" of rapidly spinning neutron stars are evaporating the stars around them, as seen by the Chandra X-ray Space Telescope.

Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) have created a new kind of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) that produces electricity through the use of limestone putty, promising considerable cost savings over conventional manufacturing method…

Aftershocks from devastating earthquakes in the 1800s near the Missouri-Kentucky border and in Charleston, South Carolina, may still be occurring, a study found.

December astronomy highlights include the winter solstice, the shortest night of the year, and one of the greatest meteor showers.

SpaceX is nearing 100 launches for 2023 as the year comes closer to its end.

In a new study published in Optica, researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have used doughnut-shaped beams of light to take detailed images of objects too tiny to view with traditional microscopes.

Also known as "red sprites", this phenomenon is rarely seen from Earth.

The washed up carcass suggests the animals remain a favorite food source of killer whales.

NASA's aging Hubble Space Telescope is in "safe mode" due to a recurrent technical issue, which has taken the 30-something craft offline.

A star near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy originated outside of the Galaxy according to a new study. This is the first time a star of extragalactic origin has been found in the vicinity of the super massive black hole.

Our brains don't look that special when looking at their relative size compared to our closest animal relatives. To understand human intelligence, scientists are now looking deeper.

<p>Researchers from the group of Jop Kind developed a new technique called MAbID. This allows them to simultaneously study different mechanisms of gene regulation, which plays a major role in development and disease. MAbID offers new insights into how these m…

In microgravity, without the continuous load of Earth's gravity, the tissues that make up bones reshape themselves. Bone cells readjust their behaviors—the cells that build new bone slow down, while the cells that break down old or damaged bone tissue keep op…

The recent publication in Science by Mogila, Tamulaitiene et al. represents a continuation of the successful scientific research conducted by Gintautas Tamulaitis' group.

Historic magnetic storms, including the newly identified Chapman-Silverman storm, can help us understand what such events could do to our power grid.
