Or is it all make-baleen?

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a supercurrent to flow in both directions. Published in Nature Physics, the team's result could help address the noisy signals that pose a…

Scientists investigating an ancient mystery have uncovered the first evidence that a Bronze Age strain of plague infected livestock, not just humans. During the Middle Ages, a devastating outbreak of plague wiped out roughly one-third of Europe’s population. …

Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2025: Your daily feed for the holiday flyby of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS by Earth.

New 3D models uncover hidden heat beneath Greenland, linking deep Earth processes to ice sheet behavior and future sea level change. A team led by scientists at the University of Ottawa has produced high-resolution 3-D maps of temperatures deep beneath Greenl…

Astronomers call them LFBOTs—rare and powerful bursts of blue light that shine across billions of light-years and then vanish in just a few days.

Can the letter writer find middle ground with ex-wife who tracks their teen boys’ locations?

Discoveries on the list include a lost medieval village and a hillfort possibly attacked by the Romans.

Winds, waves, and ice near a remote town on the Chukchi Peninsula have sculpted a series of coastal inshore lagoons that resemble an icon of winter.

Particles from Earth’s atmosphere may be preserved in the Moon's soil, offering a long-term record of Earth’s atmospheric history.

The lunar impact flash - an explosion of light caused by something hitting the Moon's surface - was captured on Friday.

In one study, these particles from high-altitude wildfire smoke created a dramatic cooling effect not accounted for in current climate models.

An international team of astronomers using NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) has identified the origin of X-rays in a supermassive black hole’s

The CRASH Clock is a new metric for measuring the risks of satellite congestion in low-Earth orbit. Its calculations are disturbing.

A solar storm could knock out navigation and communications systems, caushing satellites to crash into each other.

"Ultimately, this work may help scientists better predict the impact of space weather across the solar system on longer timescales than currently possible."

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of light and cause tiny distortions in space-time. Albert Einstein predicted their existence, and the first direct experimental observation…

The previous generation of Dodge Charger has become a mainstay of police forces around the country. Following the demise of the much-loved Ford Crown Victoria, the Charger has mostly taken its spot as the go-to patrol and pursuit vehicle, with officers utiliz…

With a second Trump Administration at the helm in 2025, NASA marked significant progress toward the Artemis II test flight early next year, which is the first

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope report that a powerful gamma-ray burst detected in March may have been produced by the explosion of a massive star just 730 million years after the Big Bang.

New research suggests the famous Little Foot fossil may belong to a previously unknown hominin species.

NASA has just revealed enormous cracks, or grabens, on the Moon that show how the Mare Humorum fractured billions of years ago.

The real risk of AI isn’t that machines will think better than we do; it’s that thinking will begin to feel complete without us.

The Pahon Cave in Gabon offers archaeologists a well-preserved look into the Late Stone Age time period in central Africa, thanks to the stratified layers of guano-based sediment. This is in contrast with much of the surrounding areas, which are rich in acidi…
