: All good things come to an end, and the outpost is unlikely to reach 30

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.

Turkeys are getting bolder and causing conflict in some Detroit area cities. University of Michigan students are developing a robot to stop this.

An investment by a venture fund linked to the U.S. national security community in Vast is not necessarily a sign of military interest in human spaceflight.

But the differences are likely to be subtle, so it won’t be easy.

Plant protection products protect crops from pests, diseases and weeds. However, many of the fungicides, herbicides and insecticides also have a negative effect on terrestrial and aquatic organisms such as pollinators or fish that are not the primary target o…

At its deepest physical foundations, the world appears to be nonlocal: particles separated in space behave not as independent quantum systems, but as parts of a single one. Polish physicists have now shown that such nonlocality—arising from the simple fact th…

MIT physicists observed key evidence of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle graphene. The findings could lead to the development of higher-temperature superconductors.

A rare 115-million-year-old dinosaur fossil has revealed the first-ever ankylosaur hatchling.

The tallest man to ever live was Robert Wadlow, who reached a staggering 2.72m. That's equal to a very large male ostrich or Shaquille O'Neal with two bowling pins balanced on his head.

The moon's oddly skewed dust cloud may be caused by an extreme day-night temperature difference, a new study suggests.

In Arizona's Willcox Basin, just over an hour east of Tucson, fissures are tearing through the earth, wells are running dry, and strange areas are flooding when it rains. The cause is clear. As large agricultural producers pump more and more groundwater for i…

A mysterious glow has been uncovered deep beneath the ocean’s surface.

A standout discovery was this new predatory sponge. Its spherical form is covered in tiny hooks that trap prey.

Rare outreach from China's space agency marks a breakthrough in global space traffic management.

For obvious reasons, we do not know what the inside of a black hole looks like. But thanks to theoretical physics, we can ask what the inside should look like if Einstein's theory of gravity and the rules of quantum mechanics are both true. A new study publis…

For once, Earth isn’t the one in the crosshairs. NASA scientists have confirmed that a fast-moving asteroid first spotted by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact ...

There are a few places on Earth where it is nearly impossible to sink. Here's why.
