A new analysis of burners found in Qurayyah reveals that 2,700 years ago, smoke from Peganum harmala was inhaled.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have found an unknown moon orbiting Uranus, bringing the planet’s total to 29 — and more likely remain undiscovered.

Researchers at Durham and collaborators in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) mission have proposed a bold new theory that black holes could be converting matter into dark energy.

"This explosion gave off more energy in a few seconds than the sun will over its entire life."

New study dates the Petralona skull up to 539,000 years old, offering fresh insight into Europe’s human evolution mystery.

On Sept. 11, 2022, engineers at a flight control center in Turin, Italy, sent a radio signal into deep space. Its destination was NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid

"We consider this phenomenon as a promising candidate to explain the fact that the solar activity is much more benign than that of other sun-like stars."

IN A NUTSHELL 🚀 SpaceX’s Dragon capsule returned with 6,700 pounds of advanced equipment from the ISS. 🔬 The MISSE-20 project tested material durability in space for future spacecraft design. 🤖 The Astrobee-REACCH system showcased robotic advancements for …

We're often told it is "unscientific" or "meaningless" to ask what happened before the Big Bang. But a new paper by FQxI cosmologist Eugene Lim, of King's College London, UK, and astrophysicists Katy Clough, of Queen Mary University of London, UK, and Josu Au…

As part of its exploration of Mars's boxwork landscape, Curiosity found itself in a fork-in-the-road

China has rolled out a chatbot on its Tiangong space station. Its mission: to improve safety, navigation, and coordination in orbit.

NASA satellites captured eerie dark swirls slicing through dense cloud cover above a remote island near Antarctica.

ULA is leaning more into reusability as it advances work on recovering the engine section of the Vulcan rocket and embarks on another project.

A deep partial solar eclipse will grace the Southern Hemisphere on Sept. 21, 2025, with the best views from remote seas and New Zealand's dawn skies.

See what the Psyche orbiter has been up to.

To build a large-scale quantum computer that works, scientists and engineers need to overcome the spontaneous errors that quantum bits, or qubits, create as they operate.

There's not much to see tonight.

After more than 30 years, physicists in Finland have uncovered the heaviest nucleus ever seen to emit a proton, a rare process that sheds light on the limits of atomic matter. The discovery of 188-astatine — an oddly “watermelon-shaped” nucleus — not only set…

A study warned that Antarctic ice loss could cause more warming in the region and beyond, and could push some marine species toward extinction.

The Voyager 1 satellite was launched in 1977 to explore the furthermost regions of outer space - but the speed it would travel at on Earth is terrifying

The world will warm more than expected due to future changes in ozone, which protects the Earth from harmful sun rays but also traps heat as it is a greenhouse gas.

As carbon dioxide continues to rise in Earth's upper atmosphere, the way solar storms interact with it may shift dramatically. New modeling suggests that future geomagnetic storms will occur in a colder, thinner atmosphere, causing a sharper spike in density …

There's a giant solar tornado raging on the sun's surface, and a researcher captured it — plus a massive plasma eruption — in one spectacular image.

An experimental method is used to assign partial charges based on crystal structure determination through electron diffraction, applicable to any crystalline compound.

At first glance, biology and quantum technology seem incompatible. Living systems operate in warm, noisy environments full of constant motion, while quantum technology typically requires extreme isolation and temperatures near absolute zero to function.
