Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. It determines the properties of stars and planets and is crucial for life on Earth—not least because of its role in climate-neutral energy supply. Generations of scientists in physics and chemistry have res…

After weeks of giving Earth the silent treatment, NASA's Voyager 2 probe is once again communicating with mission control from billions of miles away.

India News: After a gap of nearly 50 years, Russia is planning to launch a lunar mission on August 11 and enter the race to become the first nation to land a rove

Scientists at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa for the first time have been able to estimate the ages of the most recent eruptions — as well as eight older eruptions going back about 2,000 years — of the submarine Hawaiian volcano formerly known as the Lōʻi…

Astrophysicists reveal the sun is beaming down gamma rays with energies higher than ever measured. The gamma rays lose energy in Earth’s atmosphere, meaning they don’t present a concern to life. This also allows them to be discovered by researchers working wi…

Using a private observatory, astronomers have performed the first photometric study of a peculiar W UMa-type binary known as CSS J003106.8+313347. Results of the study, published July 27 on the preprint server arXiv, shed more light on the properties of this …

When NASA’s Perseverance Rover observed an image from Mars of its moon Phobos eclipsing the Sun, it was a reminder that the astronomical body is doomed to crash into the planet. Phobos is the closest of Mars’ two moons and it is due to fall out of orbit relat…

When Artemis II NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Hammock Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen splash down in the Pacific Ocean after a 10-day mission around the Moon, NASA’s landing and recovery team will be ready to b…

This knowledge could help humans plan for future infrastructure projects, and future natural disasters.

NASA is trackeing Asteroid 2023 OE5 that is heading towards Earth, and it could have a very close encounter with the planet on August 14.

A previously unstudied protein in the framework of osteoarthritis may be critical in the prevention of the disease, according to groundbreaking new research published in the journal Science Advances, which included work by Justin Parreno, an assistant profess…

British scientists are hoping to build a new underground detector to find Wimps before they get lost in "neutrino fog" using more modern technology.

The sun's corona is 200 times hotter than its surface, defying models of stellar bodies. Now, this 80-year-old puzzle may finally have a solution.

The town's West Nile risk reached unusually high levels in July, kicking off debates over its long-term mosquito plan.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Sunday put out the first images of the moon as captured by Chandrayaan-3, India's third lunar mission.

Electronic devices typically use the charge of electrons, but spin -- their other degree of freedom -- is starting to be exploited.

The University of Missouri scientists have developed a new form of metamaterial based on the method of a 4D synthetic dimension.

Scientists have worked out how one unusual species of trilobite—an ancient, sea-dwelling relative of spiders and lobsters—was able to defend itself against predators and survive a bumpy ride as Earth's oxygen levels fluctuated.
