Mars will be less than four degrees from the crescent moon around sunset on July 28.

The Very Large Telescope in Chile has found, for the first time, an infant planet nestled in spiral arms of dust around a distant sun-like star.

It's a well-known fact that most cats despise getting wet. But why?

Scientists have shown for the first time that entanglement, the mysterious link between quantum particles, can be reversibly manipulated just like heat or energy in a perfect thermodynamic cycle.

Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison uncovered a critical flaw in how lunar and Martian rovers are tested on Earth. Simulations revealed that test results have been misleading for decades because researchers only adjusted rover weight to simulate …

Whether or not you’re an optimist, life must certainly be one of the most rare and most precious things in the Universe.

At a redshift of z = 14.44, MoM-z14 usurps the former record holder JADES-GS-z14-0. Quick guide to Webb's discovery.

Speculative elements may not be necessary to explain the cosmos. A team of researchers, led by Raúl Jiménez, an ICREA scientist at the University of Barcelona’s Institute of Cosmos Sciences (ICCUB), and working in partnership with the University of Padua (Ita…

A team of physicists has experimentally uncovered what electrons do during quantum tunneling, revealing a surprising internal collision process that challenges long-held beliefs. Professor Dong Eon Kim of POSTECH’s Department of Physics, in collaboration with…

Scientists used diverse genomes to complete a fuller human DNA map. This unlocks hidden risks and improves diagnoses.

Webb has been orbiting more than a million miles from Earth, capturing breathtaking images of deep space. But how does it actually work?

Overpumping groundwater, worsening droughts and more rapid evaporation due to higher temperatures have caused a drastic decline in the amount of available freshwater, according to a new study.“Continental drying” has redirected the planet’s total water to the…

Despite what the movies tell us, dinosaurs probably didn't roar at their prey.

This baby planet could transform into a rocky earth or a mini-neptune, scientists are stunned.

Everyone was shocked and thrilled.

Galileo plunged into Jupiter and what it found just before vanishing still puzzles scientists.

The helicopters will scout the Martian surface to help prepare for a human landing on the Red Planet.

Fifteen years ago in a sanctuary in Zambia, inspiration struck a chimpanzee named Julie. She plucked a stiff blade of grass, stuck it inside her ear, and left it there. There the grass dangled as Julie played, groomed, and rested. The behavior soon spread to …

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have discovered a new state of quantum matter. The state exists within a material that the team reports could lead to a new era of self-charging computers and ones capable of withstanding the challenges of d…

Asteroid 2024 YR4, which once appeared to be on a collision course with Earth, may hit the moon, which could create some problems for our planet.

For years, NASA has monitored a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest Africa.

"In my opinion, planetary defense is an operational mission which should be formally tasked to U.S. Space Command."

15 million years ago, Earth experienced a shocking geological event that caused sea levels to plummet by up to 30 meters. This dramatic shift wasn’t caused by climate change, but by a massive collapse beneath the ocean’s surface.

A sugar made by deep-sea microbes causes cancer cells to self-destruct, and boosts the body’s defenses in the process.

IN A NUTSHELL 🌌 Astronomers discovered the Midpoint cloud, a Giant Molecular Cloud spanning 650 trillion miles within the Milky Way. 🔭 The discovery, using the Green Bank Telescope, offers insights into star formation and galactic processes. 🌠 The Midpoint…
