United Launch Alliance rolled out an Atlas V rocket Friday in preparation for next week's planned launch of a classified space surveillance mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

Space colonization is no longer the fodder of science fiction, it is becoming a reality. See more in Season 2, Episode 13, "Colonizing Space."#TheUniverseSub...

Saturn will be directly opposite the sun this weekend, making this a great time to observe the ringed gas giant.

Our Webb Space Telescope captures a cosmic ring, the team behind our upcoming Psyche mission, and the unique thing about a star that was ripped apart by a bl...

For a half century, mathematicians have tried to define the exact circumstances under which a black hole is destined to exist.

A heat wave will hit Santa Barbara County early next week, according to the National Weather Service. The Santa Ynez Valley will see daytime temperatures

New approach is a step toward using single photons in quantum communication and information processing. Researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a novel technique to generate a stream of circularly polarized single photons, crucial for…

HUMANS from the ice age period likely set fires that eventually tarnished their land to be unlivable for any type of life, scientists believe. Traces of charcoal from ancient mega-fires and fossils…

The engines of the International Space Station’s Zvezda service module, managed by Roscosmos, performed a critical operation to manoeuvre the station away from a potential collision with an unnamed space debris on Thursday. International Space Station (ISS) i…

Liftoff is scheduled to occur on Tuesday morning (Aug. 29).

We visualize Earth’s history through the geological timeline to reveal the planet’s many epochs, including the Anthropocene.

The possibilities of a room temperature superconductor took the internet by storm in late July. Here's what happened with LK-99.

Liftoff is targeted for 8:26 p.m. ET on Sunday (Aug. 27).

Astronomers have observed a mysterious large dark spot in Neptune’s atmosphere, along with a bright feature that has never been spotted before.

The 2023 solar eclipse is less than two months away, and thousands of Utahns will have the chance to see its "ring of fire."

Researchers estimated that as few as 22 people would be needed to sustain a colony on Mars. But there are lots of caveats, and the new study largely misses the point of colonizing the Red Planet in the first place, experts say.

The TEMPO instrument is the first to monitor air pollution levels across America in real time.

A deep look at the Extended Groth Strip suggests the universe may be a more stable place than previously thought.

A Molecular Additive Enhances Next-Gen LEDs – But Shortens Their Lifespans By tinkering with the material makeup of perovskite LEDs, a cheaper and more easily made type of LED, Stanford researchers achieved leaps in brightness and efficiency – but saw their l…

Nothing can evoke an existential perspective-spiral quite like looking at an image of a galaxy. At first glance, these sublime structures may appear rather serene. But in fact the center of many galaxies is a turbulent environment containing an actively feedi…

Cilia are thin, eyelash-like extensions on the surface of cells. They perform a wide variety of functions, acting as mechanosensors or chemosensors, and play a crucial role in many signaling pathways.

A new study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden has examined how T cells of the immune system are affected by weightlessness. The results, which are published in the journal Science Advances, could explain why astronauts' T cells become less…

The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory found that the two closely related neuronal subtypes differed from each other in how they expressed more than 800 genes. By manipulating genes whose expression differed most prominently, the scientists were then a…
