Researchers believe an ancient space rock called Erg Chech 002 can shed more light on our understanding of the dawn of our solar system.

Adjuvanting the lipid and the encapsulated messenger RNA-encoded antigen in lipid-nanoparticle mRNA vaccines can enhance the efficiency of mRNA delivery and the activation of the immune responses, as shown for a COVID-19 vaccine in mice.

Something fishy might be happening on Mars.

Several regions in Oregon will provide excellent viewing opportunities for a spectacular celestial event this fall: the upcoming annular solar eclipse Saturday, Oct. 14.

Brilliant green fireball delivers an incredible spectacle.

Including a crewed Chinese Moon mission scheduled for before 2030, China has particularly ambitious plans to explore the Moon.

(CNN) — After completing a historic landing on the lunar surface, putting India in the tiny club of countries that have safely placed a spacecraft on the moon, the Chandrayaan-3

A 3D model of a 407-million-year-old plant fossil has reshaped our understanding of leaf evolution. This study has also provided new perspectives on the remarkable patterns observed in plants. Early plant leaf arrangements differ from those in many contempora…

A recently discovered comet is expected to be visible throughout the month of Sept.According to Japanese astronomer Shuichi Nakano, Comet Nishimura, discovered

Nearly 6,000 different minerals are known to exist on Earth, but after more than 50 years of investigations, only 161 minerals have been recorded on Mars—a dramatically lower number for a planet that shares much in common with our own.

Japan launched a lunar exploration spacecraft on Thursday aboard a homegrown H-IIA rocket, hoping to become the world's fifth country to land on the moon ear...

For years, researchers have tried various ways to coax quantum bits—or qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers—to remain in their quantum state for ever-longer times, a key step in creating devices like quantum sensors, gyroscopes, and memories.

A refractor telescope with a permanently fixed solar filter, the Celestron EclipSmart Travel Solar Scope 50 is an affordable way to view solar eclipses and the sun’s surface.

Researchers from the Technion have pushed the limits of the possible in the field of atomic-scale spin-optics, creating a spin-optical laser from monolayer-integrated spin-valley microcavities without requiring magnetic fields or cryogenic temperatures. Scien…

It involved adding a small, protruding ‘thumb’, weighing a few grams, to the door of the instrument.

A team of researchers from MIT and the University of Colorado sent a set of samples of different materials and surface treatments to the International Space ...

Technology developed and tested by the Utah State University's Space Dynamics Laboratory has traveled hundreds of millions of miles across space to help NASA map and collect a sample of the asteroid Bennu.

Hotter quantum systems can cool faster than initially colder equivalents. Does hot water freeze faster than cold water? Aristotle may have been the first to tackle this question that later became known as the Mpemba effect. This phenomenon originally referred…

Many plants have been linked to potential health advantages, whether it is because of their therapeutic uses, capacity to purify the air, or ability to aid in relaxation and stress relief.

In a groundbreaking development, scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science successfully created complete synthetic models of human embryos using stem cells grown in a laboratory. The synthetic embryos were nurtured outside the womb and survived up to 14…

Earth is about to be stoned. No, not the usual 420 kind. But the floating rock in space kind. A 'house-sized' asteroid is set to pass by Earth this week. With it, four other space rocks are set to follow suit within days and are slated to pass by Earth. 5 Ast…

Where Gas, Dust, and Stars MeetAleksandra Hamanowicz, Space Telescope Science Institute Many who gaze at the night sky focus only on the stars, but astronome...

NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission returns this month, bringing samples from the Bennu asteroid. Samples could reveal details about life origins in solar system and the movement of hazardous asteroids.

Two independent studies use trapped-ion simulators to explore the mysterious geometric phase

In living organisms, cells have a very high capacity to process and communicate information by moving molecules or ions through tiny channels that span the cell membrane. Scientists have created a device that mimics this biological concept in order to detect …
