A small quantity of the material collected by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft three years ago from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu was unveiled in an auditorium at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, a little more than two weeks after it was parachuted into the U…

NASA and industry partners Aerojet Rocketdyne and Boeing have installed all four RS-25 engines onto the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket core stage for the agency’s Artemis II mission, signaling the core stage is nearing completion. Once complete, the core st…

Anthropologists in Greece have used facial reconstruction techniques to show how Homo heidelbergensis might have once looked.

A diverse set of species, from snails to algae to amoebas, make programmable DNA-cutting enzymes called Fanzors—and a new study from scientists at MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research has identified thousands of them. Fanzors are RNA-guided enzymes tha…

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…

The secret behind how cats produce their enchanting purring sound has finally been discovered by scientists. Interestingly, it seems like these furry...

NASA astronaut Frank Rubio, who returned to Earth on Sept. 27 after spending 371 days in space, discussed his historic mission in a news conference on Octobe...

Trillions of tons of ice have been lost from Antarctica's ice sheets, a new study shows. The ice that remains is barely holding back sea level rise.

'It will not be the last as we continue to live and work in space.'

Gaia is expanding its range. Its new release features Omega Centauri, asteroids, gravitational lenses, and variable stars.

Species from snails to algae to amoebas make programmable DNA-cutting enzymes called Fanzors, and a new study from MIT’s McGovern Institute has identified thousands of them.

More than 40% of Antarctica's ice shelves have shrunk since 1997 with almost half showing "no sign of recovery," a study has found, linking the change to the climate breakdown. From a report: Scientists at the University of Leeds have calculated that 67tn ton…

NASA's OSIRIS-REx dropped off the Bennu asteroid sample last month. Scientists discovered the rocky surface contains carbon and evidence of water.

NASA has been working on a warning system to notify humans before a solar storm hits Earth. Using artificial intelligence technology, Nasa has been trying to gather data on solar storms, according …

"NASA’s aspirational goal to achieve a cost savings of 50 percent is highly unrealistic."

Phytoplankton, tiny photosynthetic organisms in the ocean, play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle and influence Earth's climate. A new study reveals how variations in the physiology of phytoplankton, particularly regarding nutrient uptake, can impact …

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.

The new titanosaur is proving to be extremely important and helps address a large gap in our understanding of dinosaurs in Africa.

Researchers studying tree fossils discovered a radical one-year spike in carbon-14 from 14,300 years ago, evidence of a massive solar storm.

Scientists have long wondered about the physical changes in the brain that occur when a new memory is formed. The National Institute for Physiological

Modern astronomy holds that all major galaxies (with the Milky Way as no exception) are the accumulation of numerous small mergers. Thus, it should be expected that some of the globular clusters that are now part of our galaxy are likely inherited from other …

Eric Weinstein and George Ellis battle over Einstein's relevance in today's perception of the universe. This was taken from the debate 'Down the wormhole,' w...

A fully automated process, including a brand-new artificial intelligence (AI) tool, has successfully detected, identified and classified its first supernova.
