To understand ancient conflicts, scientists are turning to archaeomagnetism—a method that reads the Earth’s magnetic memory.

Beneath the waters off Japan’s Yonaguni Island lies a massive structure that has puzzled experts for decades. Its origins spark fierce debate between natural forces and ancient civilizations.

A space station research conference has been canceled and the future of a planetary science conference is in doubt as NASA pulls back support for them.

Jurassic giant discovered in China: new dinosaur species Xingxiulong yueorum measured up to 33 feet long, stunning paleontologists.

This new space venture will change how we travel between Earth and the Red Planet. A limited number of passengers will be part of this historic journey.

Everything you need to know about June’s full strawberry moon, including exactly when, where, and how to see it at its best from where you are.

This June, the Milky Way’s brilliant heart lights up the night as planets align and the solstice sun marks Earth’s celestial tipping point.

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) newest planetary defender has opened its ‘eye’ to the cosmos for the first time. The Flyeye telescope’s ‘first light’ marks the beginning of a new chapter in how we scan the skies for new near-Earth asteroids and comets.

Everywhere we look, we see magnetic fields. But where did they come from?

What is this thing?

In September 2023, Earth rumbled.

When the New Horizons spacecraft swept past Pluto and Charon in 2015, it revealed two amazingly complex worlds and an active atmosphere on Pluto.

A Danish research team has cracked the full biosynthesis of Taxol enabling cheaper and eco-friendly production in yeast. Taxol is one of the most trusted chemotherapy drugs for treating breast, ovarian, cervical, and lung cancers. Yet making this life-saving …

Researchers were surprised by the potency of suppressing multiple autoimmune diseases—not only in prevention but also in treatment.

Surface Biology and Geology development team at NASA JPL has been given a stop work order

New research reveals that lithium-rich brines have a chemistry dominated by boron, fundamentally different from typical saline waters. A new study published in Science Advances reveals a surprising twist: much of the world’s lithium is found in salty waters w…

A set of dark streaks that regularly wind across the Martian surface are more likely to be formed by dust and wind than by water, a new artificial intelligence analysis has revealed.

A new study reveals that nostalgia plays a powerful role in making us want to dance, even more so than familiarity with a song alone.

Astronomers from the University of Hawaiʻi's Institute for Astronomy (IfA) have discovered the most energetic cosmic explosions yet discovered, naming the new class of events "extreme nuclear transients" (ENTs). These extraordinary phenomena occur when massiv…

Scientists have uncovered evidence that dinosaurs suffered from cancer. A 70-million-year-old fossil reveals a tumor linked to one that still affects humans today.

New observations from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes have captured a rare cosmic event: two galaxy clusters have collided and are now

Scientists have discovered a giant planet called TOI-6894b, orbiting a star that should be far too small to have formed it. The discovery could further challenge theories of planet formation.

For the first time in almost 30 years, the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured. The previous similar breakthrough was achieved in 1996.
