Astrophysicists have used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to take a close look at a volatile star.

Scientific Reports - Influence of the strain effect on magnetocrystalline anisotropy in Co2Fe0.4Mn0.6Si Heusler alloys

What happens when the densest objects in the known universe collide?

The center of Earth lies around 4,000 miles beneath our feet — but what lies beneath the outer crust and the inner core?

Currently, the ozone hole spreads across 26 million square kilometres.

Utrecht University geologist Suzanna van de Lagemaat has reconstructed a massive and previously unknown tectonic plate that was once one-quarter the size of the Pacific Ocean. Her colleagues in Utrecht had predicted its existence over 10 years ago based on fr…

Rutgers researchers have developed an analytical tool for spotting and omitting stray DNA and RNA that contaminate genetic analyses of single-celled organisms.

The stick insects have declined to comment on the matter.

An approach combining single-cell imaging, agent-based simulations, and continuum mechanics theory is used to observe the effect of environmental stiffness on biofilm development. These measurements indicate that confined biofilms behave as active nematics, i…

Methane levels are currently sky-high, just like they were during Earth's previous termination events.

Guhathakurta et al. describe the acetyltransferase activity of MOF in the mitochondria. MOF can acetylate COX17, thus contributing to the assembly and function of respiratory complex IV. These findings provide better understanding of how mitochondrial functio…

Mitochondrial proteins are frequently acetylated, but most of these modifications are thought to occur non-enzymatically, rather than requiring an acetyltransferase. A new study by Akhtar and colleagues challenges this view by demonstrating that MOF, a well-c…

The European Space Agency's dark energy and dark matter spacecraft has once again found its guiding stars and is preparing for full "science mode."

NASA spacecraft is all set for an extraordinary mission, this will be the first four humankind mission. Scientists believe that this mission could provide so...

The first humans reached North America during the time of the Last Glacial Maximum, which occurred about 20,000 years ago during the last phase of the Pleistocene epoch.

A University of Portsmouth physicist has explored whether a new law of physics could support the much-debated theory that we are simply characters in an advanced virtual world.

Los Angeles’s aerospace industry has been supercharged by former SpaceX talent. Veterans of Elon Musk’s company have started commercial space ventures of the...

The outer planets of our solar system, Uranus and Neptune, are water-rich gas giants. These planets have extreme pressures 2 million times the Earth's atmosphere. They also have interiors as hot as the surface of the sun. Under these conditions, water exhibit…

A team of researchers has found a way to speed up the creation of quantum entanglement, a mystifying property of quantum mechanics that Albert Einstein once described as "spooky action at a distance."

Astronomers have conducted deep low-frequency radio observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 514, using the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT). In their results, they detected a large-scale bent radio jet in this cluster. The finding is reported…

Sending vast quantities of data between satellites speedily and securely means using light to communicate. Now a group of space companies, research centres and universities working with ESA has established a series of specifications on how exactly satellites …

Scientists have discovered that radio waves once thought to be associated with lightning, cannot be.

Massive volcanic eruptions over the past 260 million years caused lethal climate change that led to mass extinctions, researchers say.
