After 25 years of capturing Earth's changing landscape, the Landsat 7 satellite received its final transmission from the U.S. Geological Survey and was officially decommissioned June 4, closing a remarkable chapter in space-based observation.

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe—a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our universe emerged from something else—something more familiar…

An experiment in mice has discovered that a mother’s iron deficiency alters sex determination. Until now, it was believed that only genetics defined this biological trait

A study on beetleweed shows that autopolyploid plants with different chromosome sets can coexist, reshaping how scientists understand rapid speciation. About 3.7 billion years ago, a chain of naturally occurring amino acids, similar to those found in meteorit…

A stunning 34-million-year-old snake fossil discovery in Wyoming is rewriting the history of evolution.

A simple planetarium show led to an unexpected discovery, revealing a shocking new structure!

If you are over the eucalyptus stem look that dominated the 2010s, there are some more modern options that you can explore.

With 25x magnification and giant 100mm lenses, these binoculars from Celestron are built for serious night sky observation — ideal for tripods and clear skies.

A new theory could finally unite quantum mechanics and gravity into a single Theory of Everything - one of physics biggest challenges

It sort of looks like a honeycomb of hot gas, or a hazelnut croquant.

A new NASA documentary, Cosmic Dawn, chronicles the inside story of the James Webb Space Telescope. John Mather led the telescope's science team for decades.

Researchers found that cats with a shorter repeat in the androgen receptor gene purr more. Males are more vocal, females may act aggressively.

The extraction of work (i.e., usable energy) from quantum processes is a key focus of quantum thermodynamics research, which explores the application of thermodynamics laws to quantum systems. Meanwhile, other quantum physics research has been investigating t…

Beneath Antarctica’s thick ice, a hidden landscape has finally been uncovered, revealing ancient peaks buried for millions of years. New research sheds light on the dynamic forces that shaped the continent’s geological history.

Physicists at Fermilab have made the most precise measurement ever of a long-disputed value – the magnetic 'wiggle' of an elementary particle known as a muon.

New research has overturned a long-held belief in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses separate synaptic transmission sites for spontaneous and evoked signaling.

A giant mouth-like hole in the Sun about as wide as five Jupiters is blasting hot Sun breath in Earth's general direction.
