MOXIE is a small box inside the rover which takes in carbon dioxide and converts it into oxygen. After 16 successful runs, the experiment has been concluded.

We've sent wheeled rovers and even helicopters to Mars, but to explore its hidden depths, it will take robotic legwork.

SoftZoo is a soft robot co-design platform that can test optimal shapes and sizes for robotic performance in different environments. Since the term “soft robotics” was adopted in 2008, engineers in the field have been building diverse representations of flexi…

Early galaxies’ stars allowed light to travel freely by heating and ionizing intergalactic gas, clearing vast regions around them. Cave divers equipped with brilliant headlamps often explore cavities in rock less than a mile beneath our feet. It’s easy to be …

In 1976, NASA launched the Viking 1 and Viking 2 landers, which performed four distinct experiments to explore the Martian landscape for signs of life.

SN 1987A was the closest seen in modern times, and created a unique opportunity for astronomers to view one in action. JWST is giving it a new look.

As space mining and colonization become not-so-distant realities, scientists say preservation is important

A school teacher and his students have discovered that Dimorphos has slowed down by approximately two more minutes than NASA's last reported number.

Scientists investigate the unique absorption spectra of myelinated nerves as a way to visualize and differentiate them from their surroundings. Invasive medical procedures, such as surgery requiring local anesthesia, often involve the risk of nerve injury. Du…

Background Circulating micro-RNAs have been proposed as a new type of biomarker in several diseases, particularly those related to bone health. They have shown great potential due to their feasibility and simplicity of measurement in all body fluids, especial…

Is India’s solar probe a burgeoning influencer?

Brachiopod-bivalve switch in diversity dominance after the Palaeozoic era is a textbook example of clade replacement, and its mechanism has long been debated. Here, new Bayesian analyses suggest that diversification turnover between the two was not driven by …

Researchers at PSI have identified sesquiterpenes - gaseous hydrocarbons generated by plants - as a crucial contributor in cloud formation as part of the multinational CLOUD project at the nuclear research facility CERN. This discovery could help to reduce un…

IC 1776 recently played host to a catastrophically violent explosion – a supernova – which was discovered in 2015 by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search, a robotic telescope which scours the night sky in search of transient phenomena such as supern

You can walk the length of our vast solar system at a new, permanent exhibit stretching more than half a mile across the University of Arizona campus.

While smaller asteroids tend to pass Earth nearly every day, NASA has issued an alert against a bus-sized asteroid that will come very close to the planet soon.

The balloons themselves may also be used for planetary exploration missions to Mars or Venus in the future.

Astronomers discover nearby exoplanet TOI-1853b, a Neptune-sized world not too far from here that's denser than steel.

The project was designed to showcase on-site resource use on the Red Planet—and it did just that.

Is there already life on the moon?
