If a huge asteroid smashes into the Moon in 2032, the gigantic explosion would send debris streaming towards Earth that would threaten satellites and create a spectacular meteor shower, according to researchers.

Altering chemical modifications of DNA lets the DNA from two sperm make a mouse.

New research reveals that the brain may be learning even during unstructured, aimless exploration. By recording activity in tens of thousands of neurons, scientists found that the visual cortex builds internal models of the environment, preparing the brain fo…

A team of astronomers say they've gleaned the mysterious structures of our galaxy's supermassive black hole by training an AI model. But a pretty big name on...

The versatile cannabis plant could, some scientists think, one day be useful for lunar and Martian colonists. For now, researchers will subject its seeds to radiation in orbit and see what happens.

The Voyager probe NASA sent out discovered a 'wall of fire' at the edge of our solar system

I’m pleased to share that Will Boyington has been selected as associate administrator for NASA’s Office of Communications.

A festinating new theory shifts focus from space to time, arguing the clock-ticking we take for granted is richer and weirder than imagined.

Worms radically reorganized their genomes during their move from sea to land, supporting the theory of punctuated equilibrium in evolution.

Three never-before-seen minerals have been discovered in the southwestern U.S.

Researchers at the universities of Amsterdam and Utrecht have observed the formation of nanocavities in montmorillonite clay under exposure to gamma-aminobutyric acid, a molecule commonly found on meteorites. This hitherto unrecognized phenomenon could be rel…

A study reveals that the oldest continental crust on Earth is slowly being broken up by shifting tectonic forces.

In Colorado, a groundbreaking discovery uncovers an enormous dinosaur mating arena.

"Being off even a little bit represents hundreds or thousands of kilometers in distance on the surface of the Earth."

This first-ever discovery could rewrite Earth’s geologic history.

The team used 14 low-cost cameras to capture this.

How light struggled to break free from the dense early universe, marking the beginning of the cosmos we know today.

After MindsEye’s rough launch, Build a Rocket Boy is laying off a portion of its staff, according to an anonymous source

Exoplanet Gj 504 b was found using the Strategic Explorations of Exoplanets and Disks with Subaru (SEEDS) Project

While the Standard Model (SM) describes all known fundamental particles and many of the interactions between them, it fails to explain dark matter, dark energy and the apparent asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the universe. Over the past decades, ph…

High above the Himalayas, scientists captured a dazzling red lightning storm.

As the closest icy ocean world to Earth, Ceres may be a promising candidate in the search for signs of ancient life.

Chunks of flipped DNA appear to accelerate evolution in fish. This discovery could reshape our understanding of how biodiversity arises. Scientists have discovered that segments of “flipped” DNA help fish rapidly adapt to new environments and evolve into new …

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers from Canada and Switzerland have discovered a new galaxy, which received designation COSMOS2020-635829. The newfound object appears to undergo a ram pressure stripping of gas and therefore may be a "jel…

The study confirms that the North Atlantic cold patch is due to a weakening ocean current system, not aerosols or wind changes.
