There are an estimated 8.7 million eukaryotic species on the planet. These are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Although eukaryotes include the familiar animals and plants, these only represent two of the more than …

A collision of two massive clusters of galaxies when the Universe was half its current age should not have happened according to the standard theory of cosmology, says a new study by an international group of astronomers. The El Gordo Cluster According to the…

OSIRIS-Rex scientist Lindsay Keller says ancient rocks and soil from the asteroid Bennu could revolutionize what we know about space.WATCH the ABC News Live ...

How did life survive on a planet covered in ice from pole to pole? Leading scientists investigate how this catastrophe may have become a catalyst for life to...

Explore the potential of tungsten oxide hydrate, a game-changing material for smart windows that adapt to light and temperature, boosting energy efficiency and comfort.

"It was like the galaxies had a rulebook that they followed  —  but astonishingly, this cosmic rulebook appears to have undergone a dramatic rewrite during the universe’s infancy."

Einstein's theory of gravity—general relativity—has been very successful for more than a century. However, it has theoretical shortcomings. This is not surprising: the theory predicts its own failure at spacetime singularities inside black holes—and the Big B…

Negative pressure is a rare and challenging-to-detect phenomenon in physics. Using liquid-filled optical fibers and sound waves, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) in Erlangen have now discovered a new method to measure it.…

NASA has successfully returned a 250-gram sample of dirt from a near-Earth asteroid called Bennu. Scientists around the world will study the rock particles t...

A study published by researchers from Pennsylvania State University contradicts existing theories that suggest the rapid formation of tectonic plates earlier in Earth's history.

Researchers Dr. Ádám Sturm and Dr. Tibor Vellai from Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary have made an exciting breakthrough in understanding how we age. They focused on "transposable elements" (TEs), which are parts of DNA that can move around in our genetic co…

Astronomers have found a striking link between the amount of dust surrounding a supermassive black hole and the strength of the radio emission produced in extremely bright galaxies.

Astronomers have made important progress in understanding the intriguing TRAPPIST-1 exoplanetary system, which was first discovered in 2016 amid speculation it could someday provide a place for humans to live.

“I would have been happy with just a few grams, it got a whole kilogram, about half a pound of Bennu rock and dust,” said renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.

The blue-green algae, believed to be one of the oldest life forms on Earth, could be the key to supporting astronauts on prolonged missions.

Studying prehistoric production processes of birch bark tar using computational modeling reveals the kinds of cognition that were required for the materials produced by Neanderthal and early modern humans.

A trio of astrophysicists with Harvard and Smithsonian's Center for Astrophysics has found via computer modeling that the likely reason for the warp and flare of the Milky Way galaxy is a tilt of the dark halo. In their paper published in the journal Nature A…

Review board: Mega project is way over budget, needs cash, and senators want it axed

The Mars Ascent Vehicle team recently completed testing at a NASA facility that has been a key part of missions going all the way back to the Apollo program. The same facility is now helping the agency prepare to launch the first rocket from Mars.

Black holes may be less unique than previously thought, as the expansion due to a cosmological constant can hold apart a pair of holes and allow them to mimic a single black hole.
