Two molecular languages at the origin of life have been successfully recreated and mathematically validated, thanks to pioneering work by Canadian scientists at Université de Montréal.

In a new study, researchers have taken an important step toward understanding how exploding stars can help reveal how neutrinos, mysterious subatomic particles, secretly interact with themselves.

Europe underwent "extreme cooling" about 1.1 million years ago, which coincides with a gap in hominin habitation, a new study finds.

The Reserve Bank has announced the launch of the Pilot Project for Public Tech Platform for Frictionless Credit by Reserve Bank Innovation Hub (RBIH), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the RBI

MIT biologists discovered that a scaffolding protein called TCOF1 is responsible for the formation of a biomolecular condensate called the fibrillar center, which forms within the cell nucleolus.

Video producer Sophia Roberts explains the basic principles behind spectroscopy, the science of reading light to determine the size, distance, spin and chemi...

Why did mammals, grasses and some other groups of organisms explode in diversity only after millions of years? The evolutionary biologist Andreas Wagner plumbs the secrets of those “sleeping beauties.”

Once launched from Sriharikota, Aditya-L1 will take about four months to reach its destination near the sun. It will be placed at a point called L1, nearly 1.5 million kilometres away from Earth, in a halo orbit

As Marcel Proust said, “The real voyage of discovery... consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”

These missions are more of a moon marathon than a lunar sprint.

Media accreditation is now open for the upcoming launch of NASA’s Psyche spacecraft, for a mission to a unique metal-rich asteroid orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter.

The upcoming XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission, pronounced “crism”) spacecraft will study the universe’s hottest regions, largest structures, and objects with the strongest gravity.

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is now preparing to study the Sun. For this, an observatory named Aditya L-1 will be sent into space.

Since 2006, the amount of heat-trapping methane in Earth's atmosphere has been rising fast and, unlike the rise in carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane's recent increase seems to be driven by biological emissions, not the burning of fossil fuels. This might just be …

The storms of the gas giant put hurricanes on Earth to shame.

The scientists created plant protein microgels, through a process called microgeletion. In the process, plant proteins - which start off as dry with a rough texture - are placed in water and subjected to heating.

By studying mammals using the same biological clock, we can begin to parse genomic “hot spots” that govern aging and lifespan.

Discover the wonders of the night sky with these top-quality telescopes for beginners

Life's random rhythms surround us–from the hypnotic, synchronized blinking of fireflies…to the back-and-forth motion of a child's swing… to slight variations in the otherwise steady lub-dub of the human heart.

NASA released a stunning new image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, showing what looks like a question mark in the sky. Scientists speculate that ...

Ultracold atoms can undergo chemical reactions all at once

A new species of comatulid crinoid, or feather star, has been described after an analysis of samples collected during Antarctic expeditions

Microplastic particles are present in the marine atmosphere even in remote parts of the world. These tiny particles come from land sources but are also re-emitted into the atmosphere from the sea, a study by a team of German and Norwegian researchers led by D…

Scientists Create Dental Enamel with Stem Cells - OPP.Today

A team of astrophysicists from the University of Bordeaux and Observatoire Astronomique de l'Université de Genève is suggesting that some exoplanets may not have been too hot during their formative years to harbor life today. In their paper published in the j…
