When objects are gravitationally bound, they cannot escape from one another's influence. How does that work within the expanding Universe?

The crew is highly trained, and they came to the aid of their colleague right away."

Reconstructed ancient enzymes reveal how cannabis evolved specialized cannabinoid production while offering new tools for biotechnology and medicine. Where do familiar cannabis compounds such as THC, CBD, and CBC come from? Scientists at Wageningen University…

Animals have evolved crab-like bodies at least five times throughout history, a process known as carcinization.

When the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS was first imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope on July 21st, 2025, it became evident that the glowing…

"Nothing in my professional training as an X-ray astronomer had prepared me for something like this."

A quantum trick based on interferometric measurements allows a team of researchers at LMU to detect even the smallest movements of a laser beam with extreme sensitivity.

For decades, fossils discovered in Alaska were believed to belong to ancient mammoths, but recent testing has shocked scientists!

Astronomers have revealed a new type of cosmic object called Cloud-9 — a dim, starless gas cloud anchored by a massive dark matter halo that may be the first-confirmed failed galaxy.

Could this be a gateway to subterranean shelters for future explorers?

One of the test stands was last used as a drop tower for microgravity testing.

NASA expects to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope as soon as September, seeing it as evidence the agency can do flagships on cost and schedule.

A group of scientists, including Sergey Frolov, professor of physics at the University of Pittsburgh, and co-authors from Minnesota and Grenoble have undertaken several replication studies centered around topological effects in nanoscale superconducting or se…

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have uncovered previously unobserved oscillation states—so-called Floquet states—in tiny magnetic vortices. Unlike earlier experiments, which required energy-intensive laser pulses to create such …

What if we told you that Mount Everest was once underwater? The discovery of marine fossils at its summit has scientists scratching their heads.

A new video provides a front-row seat to a cosmic drama that has been playing out for centuries.

Ceratopsians were horned, beaked dinosaurs that once stomped their way all over North America and Asia during the Late Cretaceous period, about 80 million years ago. Their abundance in the fossil records of these continents, which were connected by land bridg…

JWST peered at the glowing trail of stars left behind by a candidate runaway supermassive black hole deep in space, revealing new insights after other telescopes looked at the event.

Development continues on NASA’s Power and Propulsion Element, a solar electric propulsion spacecraft designed to provide power for Gateway in lunar orbit.

2025 MN45 is 0.4 miles wide and completes one rotation every 1.88 minutes.

A billionaire-backed philanthropic organization is funding the development of a series of new observatories, including a space telescope larger than Hubble.

Researchers have proposed a theoretical timepiece, dubbed the "CRASH Clock," which tells us how quickly satellites would start colliding if they lost the ability to avoid each other, such as during a powerful solar storm. And its value is rapidly decreasing.

Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder may have solved a pressing mystery about the universe's gravitational wave background.

Flash forward 10 years and Sivakumar had become an integrative biology major paid to conduct groundbreaking research into how the genes of closely related bird species help cause the variation in the architecture of their wings.

Beneath one of the world’s busiest trade routes, a long-forgotten tectonic fault is stirring back to life. New scientific evidence reveals unexpected underground shifts in a region once declared geologically dead.
