Chinese astronauts aboard Shenzhou-16 mission successfully spent 6 months in space and achieved a significant milestone while they were in space. They cultiv...
Researchers from around the country are conducting four days of experiments at the Gakona facility that could put splotches of red and green light overhead at times.
The quantum world operates by different rules than the classical one we buzz around in, allowing the fantastical to the bizarrely normal. Now, a team of physicists has used quantum entanglement to simulate a closed timelike curve—in layman’s terms, time trave…

Thomas Kenneth Mattingly played an integral role in helping Apollo 13 trio return safely home so much so that his experience was adapted into a book and a movie.
This mission, CRS-29, seeks to advance research with significant potential benefits for humanity, exploring laser communications, water filtration technology, gravity waves, drug delivery, and the impact of space travel on ovarian health.
PARIS — Scientists proposed a novel idea on Wednesday (Nov 1) that could solve two of the world’s mysteries at once – one that passes over our heads every night, and one that sits far below our feet.
A series of geomagnetic disturbances that have departed the sun and are heading for Earth could give some residents in the Northern Hemisphere a light show in the form of the Aurora Borealis during the next week.
The ice-exposing impact crater at the center of this image is an example of what scientists look for when mapping places where future astronauts should land on Mars.
NISAR will help researchers explore how changes in Earth’s forest and wetland ecosystems are affecting the global carbon cycle and influencing climate change. Once it launches in early 2024, the NISAR radar satellite mission will offer detailed insights into …
Biological nanowires, microscopic wires made of proteins, have caught researchers’ attention for their ability to carry electrons over long distances. In a..
The Parinacota and Pomerape volcanoes rise like twins along the Chile-Bolivia border, but close inspection reveals distinct differences in their appearance.
A newly identified process could explain a variety of natural phenomena and enable new approaches to desalination. Evaporation is happening all around us all the time, from the sweat cooling our bodies to the dew burning off in the morning sun. But science’s …
