Astronomers are rethinking one of cosmology’s biggest mysteries: dark energy. New findings show that evolving dark energy models, tied to ultra-light axion particles, may better fit the universe’s expansion history than Einstein’s constant model. The results …

Humans stand out among mammals for our ability to run long distances without falling apart. That ability links back to early human ancestors.

For decades, scientists have tried to understand how the Sun's corona (outer atmosphere) gets so blisteringly hot while its surface stays relatively balmy – and now a new study has delivered a big clue.

Cambridge scientists have built a solar-powered leaf that turns carbon dioxide into sustainable fuel and everyday chemicals.

November night skies will host three meteor showers, a “Super Beaver Moon,” and a micromoon. The good news is that no telescope is required to see them.

Stellar streams are faint trails of stars that appear to "stream" out of galaxies. A new one, escaping galaxy M61, may point to many others.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNN: An Antarctic glacier shrunk by nearly 50% in just two months, the fastest retreat recorded in modern history, according to a new study -- and the way it retreated could have big implications for global sea level r…

At the end of 2019, astronomers discovered strange objects in our sky. These surprisingly circular objects appeared in radio wave data. Odd Radio Circles, or ... Read more
