Everyone is obsessed with artificial general intelligence—the stage when AI can match all feats of human cognition. The guy who named it saw it as a threat.

Strange features of a collision point between pieces of Earth's crust are evidence that the structure may be nearing its end, new analysis suggests.

This Halloween, the James Webb Space Telescope has served us up a stunning image of the Red Spider Nebula. It could be a glimpse of our solar system will in the distant future.

Trick or treat: Here's where comets Lemmon, SWAN and 3I/ATLAS are in the Halloween sky

For the first time, a research team from the University of Cologne has observed the electron capture decay of technetium-98, an isotope of the chemical element technetium (Tc). Electron capture decay is a process in which an atomic nucleus "captures" an elect…

New evidence shows Neanderthals created cave art long before modern humans, proving their symbolic thinking and artistic expression.

APM 08279-5255 is a massive black hole (quasar) that contains about 140 trillion times the amount in all of Earth’s oceans

'Ghost particles' can zoom through you without a trace. Scientists are getting to the bottom of this cosmic mystery

Scientists are worried that the Taurid meteor shower could turn dangerous in the future.

Neanderthals were apparently no easier on their art supplies than modern kids.

California-based startup Reflect Orbital aims to build a swarm of 4,000 giant mirrors in low Earth orbit to "sell sunlight" to customers at night. Experts warn that the mirrors could mess with telescopes, blind stargazers and impact the environment.

After two decades of searching, astronomers have found a planet that mirrors Earth in unexpected ways.

In a Physical Review Letters study, the HOLMES collaboration has achieved the most stringent upper bound on the effective electron neutrino mass ever obtained using a calorimetric approach, setting a limit of less than 27 eV/c² at 90% credibility.

The New York University School of Medicine and collaborators found that capillary-associated macrophages in skin decline with age, weakening microvascular repair and reducing perfusion in mice, with skin restoration possible after boosting local macrophage re…

"No low-frequency radio image of the entire Southern Galactic Plane has been published before, making this an exciting milestone in astronomy."

A similar recovery has not been observed among sunflower sea stars which are linked to the vanishing of Oregon's underwater kelp forests.

Learning by example.

A pregnant woman's blood sample taken in 1972 was mysteriously missing a surface molecule found on all other known red blood cells at the time.

Happy 35th, Hubble!

New discoveries from ancient caves are rewriting everything we thought we knew about Neanderthal diets. Far from being primitive carnivores, these early humans show signs of unexpected culinary habits, medicinal knowledge, and coastal living.

From mini-brains and spider-inspired gloves to edible wolf apple coatings and microplastic-filled retinas, scientists are transforming creepy concepts into life-improving innovations. Lab-grown brain organoids could replace animal testing, web-slinging gloves…
