A teenage prodigy just earned a PhD in quantum physics, at 15. Now, he's diving into AI and human biology with one goal in mind: to reengineer life itself.

A mysterious 10-second flash from deep space has shattered records and stunned scientists. Detected by a new satellite and confirmed by the James Webb Telescope, this ancient explosion is forcing experts to rethink what they thought they knew about the early …

Kimiya Yui released the timelapse footage to celebrate his 300th cumulative day spent orbiting Earth.

Astronomers have uncovered the long-hidden cause behind Betelgeuse’s strange behavior: a small companion star carving a visible wake through the giant’s vast atmosphere. Using nearly eight years of observations from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and ground-ba…

The study is based only on simulated scenarios, but real-world changes happening in Antarctica are already affecting the planet.

A study found that the Thwaites' Eastern Ice Shelf has compromised structural integrity due to continued fracturing over the years.

Make sure your sound is on for this one!

As Hurricane Helene battered Florida, NASA’s AWE mission detected atmospheric waves, hinting that extreme storms influence upper air layers.

A Congressional bill restores funding for most NASA space science missions, but there is no money for returning samples already collected on the red planet.

Human brains still react to chimp voices, hinting at a deep evolutionary link in how we recognize sound.

With data collected months before its main survey is due to begin, the Vera C.

"These nine objects are special."

A seven-million-year-old fossil may mark the moment our ancestors first stood up and walked.

When a planet transits in front of the disk of its host star, it blocks some of the starlight and reduces slightly the brightness of the…

A team of researchers recently reported the discovery of AT2024wpp, an extremely energetic event involving a black hole and a massive star locked in a deadly cosmic...

Some 445 million years ago, life on Earth was forever changed. During the geological blink of an eye, glaciers formed over the supercontinent Gondwana, drying out many of the vast, shallow seas like a sponge and giving an "icehouse climate" that, together wit…

Hydroperoxides are strong oxidants that have a significant influence on chemical processes in the atmosphere. Now, an international research team involving the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) has shown that these substances also form from…

Crumb rubber, used as a fill material in many artificial turf fields, contains a complex and potentially dangerous miasma of chemicals.

Scientists have uncovered a way to manipulate the pathway in monkey brains that puts the brakes on motivation.

Mars habitats made from Martian soil? These microbes could make it happen.

In sending a car-sized rotorcraft to explore Saturn’s moon Titan, NASA’s Dragonfly mission will undertake an unprecedented voyage of scientific discovery. And

The once-great "megaberg" is just days or weeks away from complete disintegration.

Many people remember the solar storm of May 2024, which saw auroras spread into areas that very rarely get to see them.

In 1972, an Apollo 16 astronaut left a family photo on the Moon, a surprising and personal memento that still sparks curiosity today.

In high-intensity laser–matter interactions, including laser-induced particle acceleration, physicists generally want to work with the highest possible focused laser peak power, which is the ratio of energy per unit area to pulse duration. Therefore, for the …
