With its low quantities of rain and soaring high temperatures, the Sahara Desert is often regarded as one of the most extreme and least habitable environments on Earth. While the Sahara was periodically much greener in the distant past, an ancient society liv…

One of the most exciting findings from NASA's Dawn mission is that Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt that lies between Mars and Jupiter, hosts complex organics. The discovery of aliphatic molecules, which consist of carbon and hydrogen chains, in…

"Tiles could be created on the moon in a relatively short time with simple equipment."

Algorithms and robotic telescopes worked together to discover a new supernova.

One of the most exciting findings from NASA's Dawn mission is that Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt that lies between Mars and Jupiter, hosts complex organics.

The space agency is considering budget cuts to Hubble and Chandra in anticipation of a flat budget for 2024.

Researchers led by Prof. Gao Xiang from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Lu Lu from the Harbin Institute of Technology have proposed a novel method to transform wastewater contaminants into valu…

NASA has revealed that a colossal 600-foot asteroid is approaching Earth on October 17 and it will fly past at extremely close quarters.

Solar-driven biomanufacturing using semiconductor biohybrids has the potential to achieve sustainable chemical production, but it is challenging to scale up. Here, the authors present a strategy to achieve scalable solar-driven waste-to-chemical conversion us…

NASA broke a record a few weeks ago thanks to its Parker solar probe, in charge of investigating the Sun's corona.

Astronomers suggest that an alternative concept of gravity, known as modified Newtonian dynamics, could explain orbital inconsistencies that have previously pointed to the existence of a ninth planet in the solar system.

Eugenio Calabi, who died on September 25, conceived of novel geometric objects that later became fundamental to string theory.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration satellites GOES-East and GOES-West watched as the shadow of the moon darkened the surface of Earth.

A team of physicists at the Technical University of Denmark has found the reason a spinning magnet can cause a secondary magnet to levitate without the need for stabilization. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Applied, the group describe…

Penn State College of Medicine researchers are using advanced imaging techniques to study how life functions at the atomic, cellular, tissue and organism levels. These research projects are driven by diseases observed in clinic, and the discoveries scientists…

The discovery of a spectacular fossil site in Argentina is helping shed new light on life at the end of the Cretaceous, the time period just before the non-avian dinosaurs went extinct. New research recently presented at the Geological Society of America’s GS…
