MBARI researchers came across a rarely seen dreamer anglerfish off California's coast. Video footage of the alien-looking fish only shows its silhouette because its skin is so dark it absorbs almost all of the light that hits it.

Space travel is a fast-changing and lucrative industry in which private companies are playing a growing role. India and China have also launched ambitious sp...

On Monday, residents of Beltrami County, Minnesota reported a bright flash in the sky followed by a massive boom. “It was very violent,” said the county’s public information officer Chris Mul…

How did life begin? How did chemical reactions on the early Earth create complex, self-replicating structures that developed into living things as we know them?

Astronomers have known for decades that the universe is expanding. When they use telescopes to observe faraway galaxies, they see that these galaxies are moving away from Earth.

Saturn's majestic ring system will temporarily disappear from view in 2025 as they turn edge-on, scientists confirm.

In the geological past, several groups of crocodiles evolved towards a morphology adapted to marine life. However, the extent of these adaptations and their evolutionary trajectories remained unknown. An exhaustive study of their morphology by a scientific te…

Researchers use ion beam irradiation during exsolution to precisely engineer nanoparticle catalysts for clean energy apps. Controlling size, composition and placement, the engineered nanoparticles have superior catalytic activity.

Scientists recreate a chemical reaction which may have sprung life on Earth

The LIRAS technique could speed up the development of acoustic lenses, impact-resistant films, and other futuristic materials.

Water from the Earth’s surface is creating a peculiar layer around the core.

Michael Shermer, Sunetra Gupta and Bjørn Ekeberg discuss the relationship between scientific models and empirical reality.What does it mean to "trust the sci...

A team of European astronomers, co-led by researchers from the Institute of Astronomy, KU Leuven, used recent observations made with the James Webb Space Telescope to study the atmosphere of the nearby exoplanet WASP-107b. Peering deep into the fluffy atmosph…

Installation on the external experiment platform completes NASA's first two-way, end-to-end laser relay system.

A high-throughput, non-contact framework is described that uses the laser-induced vibrational signatures of metamaterials to non-destructively quantify their omnidirectional elastic information, dynamic linear properties, damping properties and defects.

As humans travel to Mars and beyond, where resupply from and return to Earth is difficult to impossible, monitoring and controlling every aspect of life onboard spacecraft is essential – down to the tiniest microbes. With that goal in mind, glo

Scientists still can’t explain what is causing unusually bright explosions in space — but a surprising observation might offer clues.

How this new discovery hints at existence of alien life across multiple worlds in Milky Way

"No one really knew what to say. We had never seen anything like that before  —  something so fast, and the brightness as strong as the original explosion months later."

Researchers at ETH in Zurich, a public university, along with a US-based startup affiliated with MIT have printed a robotic hand complete with bones...

Say hello to avatars, 3D meetings, and a change to the Microsoft Mesh platform.

Webb Telescope's exploration of distant exoplanets' atmospheres is revealing unprecedented, extraordinary details, showcasing its remarkable capabilities.

The common factor that everyone knows about black holes is that entirely everything nearby gets sucked into them.

Researchers have 3D-printed hair follicles in human skin tissue cultured in the lab. This marks the first time researchers have used the technology to generate hair follicles, which play an important role in skin healing and function.

A new study employing data from the International Space Station’s CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) instrument has discovered evidence for nearby, young sources of cosmic ray electrons, which will lead to a better understanding of how the galaxy functio…
