"It's really difficult to overstate how bad we are at finding intermediate mass black holes."

It’s not that rare for the Moon to pass in front of Mercury, but it seldom happens when it is this easy to watch.

A surprising chemical discovery in a far-off star-forming cloud has astronomers questioning everything. Could this be the first step toward finding life beyond Earth?

A new SpaceX effort to provide space traffic coordination services has attracted attention and praise in part because of the conditions it places on users.

For 30 years, Hollywood taught the world how dinosaurs sounded. Now two rare fossils are shattering that iconic roar.

A 3D soft electronic mesh allows high-resolution electrical recording and stimulation across the full surface of neural organoids, enabling long-term studies, drug testing and optogenetic control without compromising their viability owing to its porous design.

In A World Appears, Michael Pollan investigates whether animals, plants and even AI might be conscious

A newly observed acoustic time crystal uses sound waves to levitate particles that oscillate through nonreciprocal interactions. The discovery challenges classical physics and hints at applications in technology and biology. Time crystals are systems made up …

At just 500 kilometers across, Saturn's sixth-largest moon would fit comfortably inside the United Kingdom, with room to spare.

These researchers captured photos that wouldn’t look out of place in an art gallery and used them to confirm new species of comb jellies never recorded in Colombia before.

For decades, depictions of Triceratops and its kin have been driven by bone alone. Now, paleontologists in Japan have mapped the soft-tissue anatomy of these horned dinosaurs, revealing unexpected structures that may explain how they regulated temperature and…

Cultural, spiritual, and most environmental impacts aren’t taken into account when launching thousands of satellites.

Scientists aren't fully sure what this means for Antarctica's future, however.

Some bacterial species possess an astonishing ability: They use Earth's magnetic field to orient themselves. To better understand this mechanism, the team led by Argovia-Professor Martino Poggio from the Swiss Nanoscience Institute and the Department of Physi…

Deep within the remote caves of New Mexico, a bright green wall has been discovered, untouched for an astonishing 49 million years.

Debris from the collision could have formed another moon of Saturn called Hyperion, and affected the tilt of Saturn itself.

The secret to how our brains grew may be hidden in our fingers before we are even born.

Early on Tuesday, Feb. 26, a rare annular solar eclipse created a “ring of fire” over Antarctica, while South Africa and Indian Ocean locations saw partial phases.

A team of physicists from the University of Ottawa, led by Neda Boroumand, have developed a new theoretical model that shines new light on how scientists understand the way lasers interact with dense matter, such as solids and liquids. This could unlock advan…

A team of physicists from the University of Ottawa have developed a new theoretical model that shines new light on how scientists understand the way lasers interact with dense matter, such as solids and liquids. This could unlock advances in ultrafast physics…

A team of 48 astronomers from 14 countries, led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, has discovered a population of dusty, star-forming galaxies at the far edges of the universe that formed only a billion years after the Big Bang, believed to have occu…

Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants and managing its availability is critical for growing crops to maintain the global food supply. In an effort to move toward a more sustainable bioeconomy, researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champa…

A 30,000-year-old blade cluster may be the closest we’ve ever come to meeting one individual from the Ice Age.

The first dire wolves produced at Colossal Biosciences are now more than a year old. Here are pictures of Romulus and Remus showing their development.

General Galactic is aiming to fly a satellite using a water-powered propulsion system.
