Researchers have identified buried kimberlite, the rocky home of diamonds, by testing the DNA of microbes in the surface soil.

Ever wondered what helps kingfishers dive without hurting their brains while if a human ever belly-flopped into a pool, water can be surprisingly hard and sometimes can lead to injuries as well. A team of researchers has found that it’s the magic of Tau prot…

British Antarctic Survey researchers have found that the rate at which ice is melting and contributing to sea level rise will accelerate in the next century, regardless of actions to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

The world of biology holds surprises, like cells that challenge the very fabric of Newtonian principles.)

SpaceX will launch key navigation satellites for Europe as the continent continues to face ongoing delays with domestic rockets.

Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to newly detect a high-speed jet stream over the equator of Jupiter.

Two galaxies are about to merge, while a smaller one hides in the chaos.

Mutations in the MAPT gene associated with tau proteins seem to play a significant role.

On Oct. 24, 1998, NASA launched the Deep Space 1 spacecraft. Managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, Deep Space 1 served as a

It may surprise you, but camels actually originated in North America before migrating to other parts of the world, and paleontologists say that a recent disc...

NASA's RAMFIRE project is investigating the use of additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, to design lightweight rocket hardware.

"No one's laid eyes on it," the lead author of the study said. "What is exciting is that it's been hiding there in plain sight."

To explore the mysterious ice-encrusted moon Europa, the mission will need to endure bombardment by radiation and high-energy particles surrounding Jupiter.

The comet is also known to exhibit "erratic outbursts," making it even brighter in the night's sky.

Adding crushed volcanic rock to cropland could play a key role in removing carbon from the air. In a field study, scientists at the University of California, Davis, and Cornell University found the technology stored carbon in the soil even during an extreme d…

Researchers used advanced computers and real observations to see the 3D shape of light emanating from a merger between ultradense stellar bodies.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx, the first US mission to collect a sample from an asteroid, delivered rocks and dust from asteroid Bennu to Earth on September 24.

Apple this morning sent out invites for its upcoming ‘Scary Fast’ virtual event, set for October 30 -- the M3 chip arrive soon.

A comparison of the genomes of a Neanderthal who lived 120,000 years ago in Siberia with those from modern humans in sub-Saharan Africa has revealed insight into the migratory and interbreeding history of both species.

The QuickSounder is the first in a new generation of small, low-Earth-orbit satellites for weather and climate-change observations.

NASA is aiming to make a determination about the path forward for Mars Sample Return by the end of March 2024.

Scientists studied the genomes of 30 kingfisher species to try to identify the genes that allow kingfishers to dive headfirst into water without huring their brains. The researchers found that the diving birds have unusual mutations to the genes that produce …
