Astronomers have mapped 39 interstellar clouds where high-mass stars are expected to form. This extensive data indicates that our current understanding of low-mass star creation may need broadening to account for high-mass star formation. This suggests the fo…

As researchers around the world race against time to develop new strategies and technologies to fight climate change, a team of scientists at the University of Houston is exploring one possible way to directly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in t

The first full sequence of the last human chromosome — the Y chromosome — to be assembled is complete, thanks to an international collaboration that includes Penn State researchers. The new sequence, which fills in gaps across more than 50% of the Y

Measurement and entanglement both have a “spooky” nonlocal flavor to them. Now physicists are harnessing that nonlocality to probe the spread of quantum information and control it.

The swirls of the galaxy IC 1776 stand in splendid isolation in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The galaxy lies over 150 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Pisces.

With two eclipses and several meteor showers coming up, an astronomy professor shares travel tips for viewing astronomical phenomena.

Concept will need to be scaled up to keep more than a small dog alive

Measurement and entanglement both have a “spooky” nonlocal flavor to them. Now physicists are harnessing that nonlocality to probe the spread of quantum information and control it.

Extensive practice sessions have been orchestrated to properly handle the container and its asteroid collectibles once the spacecraft is on terra firma.

An international research team from Spain and France has carried out the chemical and technological analysis of the largest known collection of red and yellow mineral pigments, commonly called ochre, dated to the Middle Stone Age, between 300,000 and 40,000 y…

ESA posts blazing photo of satellite falling to Earth

Quantum computers, systems that perform computations by exploiting quantum mechanics phenomena, could help to efficiently tackle several complex tasks, including so-called combinatorial optimization problems. These are problems that entail identifying the opt…

While it has long been known that ultraviolet (UV) light can help kill disease-causing pathogens, the COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on how these technologies can rid environments of germs. However, the excimer lamps and LEDs that can directly emit lig…

Star trackers need to tested before they launch to space aboard satellites.

Research at Hokkaido University has revealed that elusive particles called neutrinos can interact with photons, the fundamental particles of light and other electromagnetic radiation, in ways not previously detected. The findings from Kenzo Ishikawa, Professo…

Following up in considering Daniel Nicholson’s challenge to the machine concept of the cell, I will examine intracellular transport and cellular behavior.

In the ocean, both natural and human-driven factors may cause ecosystems to undergo transformations. Such changes, whether sudden or gradual, can affect the food web by causing redistribution of prey upon which seasonal predators, such as migrating whales, de…

Here is the list of 14 extinct animals considered for de-extinction through cloning.

Astronomers from the University of Maryland and the Michigan Technological University, have inspected a mysterious ultra-high energy gamma-ray source known as LHAASO J2108+5157. Results of the study, published August 31 on the pre-print server arXiv, could he…

Only discovered in August, comet Nishimura is currently passing the Earth for the first time in more than 400 years.

They aren’t spiders and don’t bug dromedaries, but a scorpion that existed before the disappearance of dinosaurs.

A specific lubricant seems to be a promising solution to mitigate microbial biofilms onboard ISS.

An astronomer and ‘black hole historian’ explains how the parts of the universe black holes grow in might influence how quickly they become bright, supermassive objects.

(Bloomberg) -- Tesla Inc.’s Dojo supercomputer may add as much as $500 billion to the company’s market value through faster adoption of robotaxis and network...
