Virginia Tech researchers have conducted the most comprehensive study to date on subsidence, the gradual sinking of an area of land.

Once upon a cosmic time, scientists assumed that stars apply an eternal magnetic brake, causing an endless slowdown of their rotation. With new observations and sophisticated methods, they have now peeked into a star's magnetic secrets and found that they are…

The Middle Eastern nation will get to send one of its astronauts to Gateway as part of the deal.

A three-ringed structure in the planet-forming zone of a circumstellar disk where metals and minerals serve as a reservoir of planetary building blocks. A research team, including astronomers of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA), detected a three-…

Redwire said Jan. 10 the two unfurlable solar array wings it provided for Ovzon 3, the first commercial satellite to use the space technology company’s Roll-Out Solar Array hardware, have successfully deployed in geostationary orbit.

Astronomers observe the hypergiant star RW Cephei dimming and brightening. The unusual behavior is attributed to the ejection of a gas cloud, offering unique insights into stellar events.

New developments on a nearly century-old concept for a "self-eating" rocket engine capable of flight beyond the Earth's atmosphere could help the U.K. take a bigger bite of the space industry.

In the chaotic environment of open star clusters, strong gravitational interactions between bodies can launch individual stars far outside the cluster, even outside our galaxy, the Milky Way. Now, for the first time researchers have mapped several of those st…

In a magnificent first, we finally have direct observational evidence of the stellar process that produces neutron stars and black holes.

Moore's Law, a fundamental scaling principle for electronic devices, forecasts that the number of transistors on a chip will double every two years, ensuring more computing power—but a limit exists.

Grab your binoculars and check out these celestial events.

Researchers have described a green method for obtaining copper oxide nanoparticles from the noni plant (Morinda citrifolia), common in Asia. These copper oxide nanoparticles exhibit bactericidal properties. Moreover, antibacterial activity depends on the phys…

Beijing, Jan 10: China’s space agency said on Wednesday that its latest lunar explorer had arrived at the launch site in preparation for a mission to the moon in the first half of this year. State broadcaster CCTV posted photos on its website of the unit unde…

A concept rocket engine, called Ouroborous-3, gradually burns up as it is test fired. It "could pave the way for cheaper launches of small satellites and wou...

A Long March-2C rocket, carrying the Einstein Probe satellite, lifts off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Xichang, in southwestern China's Sichuan province on January 9, 2024.

Basil is a popular companion plant for a reason, but there's one particular plant that it's a lifesaver for -- and it's just as tasty.

Astronomers have pointed to winds from bursts of supernova star explosions as the cause of huge and eerie "odd radio circles."

Massive stars burn out quickly. When they die, they expel their gas as outflowing winds.

Scientific research on how cats view us is mixed, but one thing is clear — they don't adore us the way dogs do.

The gigantic star RW Cephei mysteriously grew dimmer in recent years before brightening once more.

The exoplanet is of a gigantic size, and orbits a perilously close distance to its star.

Scientists pieced together the history of a huge Pacific plateau and found a complicated story.

Spring, summer, fall and winter—the seasons on Earth change every few months, around the same time every year. It's easy to take this cycle for granted here on Earth, but not every planet has a regular change in seasons. So why does Earth have regular seasons…

Embark on a cosmic journey through stunning visuals captured by NASA's Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft. Witness the wonders of our solar system and beyond, unveiled through four decades of celestial exploration.

Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the surface composition of iron and ruthenium catalysts during ammonia synthesis at pressures up to 1 bar and temperatures as high as 723 K can be revealed.
