Human-made electronic hums could limit the telescope's ability to peer into the deepest universe.

Using the Hubble Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers led by researchers at the Cosmic Dawn Center in Copenhagen, have investigated a galaxy seen almost 11 billion years back in time. Contrary to typical observations, the galaxy was discovere…

DishBrain reveals how human neurons work together to process information. New research shows that when neurons are given information about the changing world around them (task-related sensory input) it changes how they behave, putting them on edge so that tin…

In 2018, researchers in the Caltech laboratory of Yuki Oka, professor of biology and Heritage Medical Research Institute Investigator, made a major discovery: They identified a type of neuron, or brain cell, that mediates thirst satiation. But they were runni…

A stochastic model describes how spontaneous synaptic fluctuations and local plasticity both contribute to population-level synaptic dynamics.

ESA's wind-measuring Aeolus satellite was spotted before its flaming demise over Antarctica.

Jackdaws ditch old friends and make new ones if it helps them get rewards -- but stick with family through thick and thin, new research shows.

Scientists grew early-stage human kidneys inside pig embryos and found the kidneys were "structurally normal" and made up of around 60% human cells.

Comet Nishimura, which appears only once every 435 years, is on track to approach the sun and shoot into deep space

Researchers have shown that if the James Webb Space Telescope was pointed at Earth from a distant star, it could detect the signatures of intelligent life in our planet's atmosphere.

Agriculture relies on synthetic nitrogen fertilizer, which is made using energy- and carbon-intensive processes and creates nitrate-containing runoff. Researchers have long sought solutions to reduce emissions from the industry that accounts for 3% of energy …

German physicists used an ion-exchange microbead as a very tiny "pen."

At last, scientists have fully sequenced the Y chromosome—the final genome frontier. Here's how it happened, and why it's such a big deal.

It can take millions of years for debris from a lunar impact to fall to Earth, and most modern-day strikes are small.

A new investigation by an international team of astronomers using data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope into K2-18 b, an exoplanet 8.6

The universe is big, as Douglas Adams would say.

Curiosity continues its bumpy travels across the bedrock blocks this weekend. We got the good news this morning that we would be able to safely do contact science in the plan!

NASA’s Lucy spacecraft captured its first images with a view of the main belt asteroid Dinkinesh, the first of 10 asteroids that the spacecraft will visit on its 12-year voyage of discovery. Lucy captured these two images on Sept. 2 and 5, 2023.

Chandrayaan-3's lander and rover are currently in slumber mode due to the 14-day lunar night. On this episode of Gravitas, we do a rundown of the four big d...

As scientists point out, this particular cluster is a good example of how stardust plays an important role in astronomical research. To see the cluster, you need to look through the clouds of dust and gas inside the Milky Way. They can influence observations …

Our world is changing, and warming temperatures will alter our natural ecosystems. Some of these changes will be straightforward, like animal ranges creeping northward as they strive to maintain their ideal temperatures. But other changes will be more complic…

Achieving All-to-All Connectivity in Quantum Computers Using Standard CMOS Technology - OPP.Today

For comparison, the US GPS navigation and positioning system satellites orbit at an altitude of 20,200 kilometers. According to representatives of the European Space Agency (ESA), this asteroid is so small that it did not pose a danger to Earth. If the astero…

Comet Nishimura will be at its closest to Earth on September 12, 2023. Since Comet Nishimura has entered Earth's orbit around the Sun, the comet is now a naked-eye object.

Enormous amounts of sediment, or sand and mud, flowed through Houston waterways during Hurricane Harvey in 2017, due in part to modifications made by humans to bayous, rivers and streams over the past century, that could seriously impact future flood
